Moped.

He came to collect me on his moped around midday, it was green and somewhat worn out. He is a friend of a friend, we had been talking the night before in the bar, he said he wanted to take me away from this place for a change in scenery, I said I would go with him since I had been getting bored waking up being in the same place day in day out. I needed to go with him so I could recharge myself and come back with fresh eyes. Riding through the town on the uneven, potholed roads with the sun beaming on our faces and dust from the roads touching my bare legs, he gave me a verbal guided tour telling me what’s what and pointing. We spent the whole day together but I wont go into all the details, only the highlight of my day. The highlight of my day was, we borrowed his friend’s 4x4 truck and drove it to the cliffs where we climbed down together and jumped in to the crystal clear blue water, making sure not to hit the bottom due to a mammoth number of sea urchins. Sea urchins only live where the water is clean, they don’t like the dirt, which is understandable. A few years ago I stepped on a sea urchin in Croatia, it was dark, the full moon was out and I did not even know to be cautious of them, anyway as a result I wanted to take revenge so I picked up a sea urchin making sure to be carful of its spins, I threw it on to the rocks on land and I told it I would eat it later. And I did.  I had a great day, I will go with him again, he is adventurous and even though he is much older than me, we still get on well and are never short of conversation.
