One day, we decided to take the car for a spin & ended at West Coast Park. Well, we also wanted to explore the 'modern-day' West Coast Park, it being a remote destination that we had not set foot on for the longest time. For me, an Eastern kid all the while when I was growing up, I wasn't even sure if I had ever gone to West Coast Park.
So we found out what folks actually do there. There were 3 main activities on a moderately humid Saturday afternoon: soccer, kite-flying & at a far corner, some tents were perched a.k.a. camping.
This is one of two senior kite-flying experts who came with their full protective gear. The kites they launched were a squid & a stingray respectively. Totally cool! Except I was wondering what else there was left once you launch the kite up high in the sky. I think I am not quite a kite-flying person.
Kites dotting the sky (above). Hubs resting in a pavilion (below). The many container ships & whatnot that are docked nearby created an 'industrial' skyline & needless to say, unattractive.
The only one activity that has some attraction for me was camping under the lush green trees
(I love greenery!). But without the ability to set up a campfire, again it's not the full experience of camping. (Why would one eat at nearly MacDonalds if one's intention is to experience nature? It's an oxymoronic idea.)
Plus the humidity level here can be a put-off & although showers of rain can cool the temperatures, you don't really want it when you are camping outdoors. Ah! So fussy right? Oh well, it just means camping is not the best thing to do locally. ~sigh~
