A-Z Challenge ~ B for Beach

  Warning! This post contains the answer to today's Wordle
Proceed at your own risk

This year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I'm going to solve the Wordle of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of the day. I post every day at noon my time (GMT +2. Dang you DST!)

As the alternative badges, as supplied by Lissa suggest travel I'll prefer travel-related words as starter words, and if at all possible, I'll avoid words containing the same letter more than once
.

I'll maybe add a few words about my chosen starter word if fancy takes me and I have time and energy for it, else I'll just post the solution - or not in the case that I did not solve it.

And as always there's Easter with busy days and family things, so my posting schedule might look a bit erratic, more so in the beginning.



Today my starting word is Beach. Intuition hit me and I solved the Wordle in 4 tries:

Wordle 1.748 4/6

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

On another journey with family and friends we were camping in Portugal. I'll tell two incidents from this journey, this is the second timewise, and when - if - I make it to number two (R), you'll see that we did not learn from experience.

Later on, we found a nice, sandy stretch of beach, and wanted to go swimming. We were not alone, and some suspicious, local types were coming and going by car. The small village at the end of the beach housed a goodly proportion of smugglers and moonshiners.
Ergo we were afraid they would run away with money and watches etc. while we were out swimming, and we did not any of us want to sit alone on a towel guarding our meagre possession while the other three were out swimming.

We put all our things in two blue shopping bags - those flimsy ones you got everywhere when shopping, and in which we had some fruit and bread. We buried the bags in the sand under the towels. Then we went swimming.

It was fun, big, but not too big waves and nice, lukewarm water. Suddenly we realized that the tide were coming in and the water was at our towels. We swam and ran in, grabbed the towels and set out for higher ground. Then one of us remembered our valuables, buried under the towels. But where were they now!

We ran around, searching. Then luckily one of us saw a glimpse of blue. The bags! we ran there and caught the bags before the waves did. Only a couple of the banknotes were soggy.

This too was short, and filled with obscure hints and mysteries. Sorry. I hope to have time and energy for more in the coming days.

Tomorrow is Good Friday, no blogging for me. See you Saturday.

And now to the Wordle
