A moment you want to pause, savour and remember.
“This Moment” is a ritual found on Life inspired by the Wee Man adopted from SouleMama which is an extension to Nelieta Travelling Adventures
This is our moment at Hostel Tinktinkie!
Yesterday the wind picked up and when I looked outside the window I saw the sky turning black. This didin`t look good and I started to close all windows and shutters. A storm was coming our way.
It didn`t take long before buckets of rain started to pour down. We were playing cards in the kitchen and every now and then mopped the water up that was creeping through underneath the door.
The storm lasted for about an hour and just as sudden as it started, it stopped.
From outside the hostel we could hear the water rushing in the stream 50m from us. We rushed to go and have a look. We were astounded by the amounts of water that were in front of us. The water circled around small trees and looked angry. I didn`t want to be in this water.
We took some photos and decided to go down to the river to see what was happening there. Ad suspected the river had a `closed` sign, which meant cars, bikes and people cannot cross the river. It is too dangerous.
We stayed there for a while and then headed back to the Hostel. Amazing how the climate is changing and I suspect this will be a cold winter.
Spring is not officially here until the 21st of September but the trees have already started to turn green. But we need rain to wash away all the dust and traces of winter.
About an hour later the weather changed dramatically. The wind picked up and the sky turned an orange colour. We prepared for a massive storm. The wind kept howling all night but not a single drop of rain!
A lot of huffing and puffing and eventually it just stop…maybe it got tired!
How unpredictable can weather be?
