Headed out to catch the sunset along the coast. Drove out to Busselton. We wandered along the rather touristy and sanitary seafront and as the sun set, we walked the length of Busselton Jetty. At 1841 meters long, it’s supposed to be the longest timber-piled wooden jetty in the world. We uhh skipped the admission charges to both its train ride and underwater observatory. That combination was too touristy for us! If this is summer, I'd have wanted to do the undersea walk on the seabed.
We ambled along in an amiable silence, and at times, there was conversation. I don't recall what we talked about, but it was casual conversation among friends. The type where we simply chatted without an end or a topic. We were just soaking in the view, the breeze, the sounds of waves and birds, and one another's company. At home, we wouldn't have this luxury or extravagance to enjoy a walk and a view of sunset. There would be too many things to do, and too many people (and dogs) demanding our attention.
We thought it would be crowded at sunset but there weren’t many people. A few runners, a number of anglers, and that was it. It meant that we could slowly meander along the length of the pier. It made for a very pleasant stroll. The stunning sunset hues made for a pretty backdrop in the photos. The winds weren't strong and it wasn't freezing. We took an hour to walk 3km to and fro. HAHAHAHAHA.
