Finally made it to the beach on our last day. Which was the right move. I did bring my swimsuit and carried it with me the whole month. 1 ounce is 1 ounce too many when you’re backpacking it.
Krista loves to swim in the sea, and apparently the water was warmer than what she swims in Scotland. She coaxed me into putting my toes in the water. Damn was it cold. Being a Pisces I love the water, but I’ve never lived anywhere close to a beach, so I’m not very good at it.
I was fine sticking my toes in the water, but Krista thought I needed more. I do love friends who pushes beyond our comfort zone. So the next step was getting in the sea to my knees. That was it for me until a very small ripple of water knocked me on my ass, so I was tits deep. At that point, I was pretty much in the water anyway so what the hell I went all in.
Now I have bragging rights……
I swam in the Baltic Sea.
