We chose to take a new route
for our morning walk today
It led us past Xuma beach  
across the far side of the bay

We reached a small shingle beach
with some fishing boats nearby
The sea calm as a millpond 
reflecting the clouds and blue sky 

There was a little cafe
wafting scent of fresh toasted bread 
We resisted temptation 
had water and coffee instead 

It was such a lovely walk 
we will do it again one day 
Now we know what we will find 
across the far side of the bay
