Man, what a day! I swear, Raumati-Beach is a wild ride. So, I’m a charcoal burner, right? Yeah, I know, not the most glamorous gig. But hey, it’s honest work. Anyway, I woke up this mornin’ and thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
First off, I hit up the local dairy on Raumati Road. Grabbed a pie, ya know? Best pies in the biz, I swear. But then, bam! I spill half my coffee on my shirt. Classic me. I’m standin’ there, lookin’ like a mess, and the lady behind the counter just laughs. I mean, c’mon! I’m tryin’ to be a respectable charcoal burner here!
So, I head down to the beach, right? Raumati Beach is stunning, man. The waves crashin’, kids laughin’, and the sun’s shinin’. I’m feelin’ good. But then, I see this dude tryin’ to surf. He wipes out like, a million times. I’m laughin’ so hard, I almost drop my gear. Like, bro, maybe stick to boogie boarding?
Then, I get a call from my mate, Dave. He’s like, “Yo, you gotta come to the park!” I’m thinkin’, “What’s so special about the park?” But I head over to Raumati South, and there’s a whole festival goin’ on! Food stalls, live music, the works. I’m like a kid in a candy store.
But then, I see this guy tryin’ to juggle fire. Fire! In a park! I’m like, “Dude, you’re gonna burn the place down!” But he’s all cocky, and I’m just shakin’ my head. Next thing I know, he drops a flaming stick. Fire goes everywhere! People are screamin’, and I’m just standin’ there, thinkin’, “This is why we can’t have nice things!”
After the chaos, I’m feelin’ a bit peckish again. So, I hit up this food truck on Raumati Beach Ave. They’ve got the best fish and chips. I order a massive serving, and the guy behind the counter is like, “You sure you can handle that?” I’m like, “Dude, I’m a charcoal burner. I can handle anything!”
While I’m munchin’, I see this couple walkin’ their dog. The dog’s a total legend, just runnin’ around, bein’ a goof. I’m thinkin’, “Man, I need a dog.” But then I remember, I can barely take care of myself.
As the sun starts settlin’, I decide to take a stroll along the beach. The sky’s all pink and orange, and it’s just beautiful. I’m feelin’ all philosophical, like, “What’s the meaning of life?” But then I trip over a rock. Classic! I’m laughin’ at myself, like, “Yeah, real deep thoughts, mate.”
Then, outta nowhere, I see this old guy sittin’ on a bench. He’s got this massive beard and a hat that looks like it’s been through a war. He starts tellin’ me about the “good ol’ days” in Raumati. Apparently, there used to be a train that ran along the beach. I’m like, “No way!” But he’s dead serious. I’m thinkin’, “Man, I wish I could’ve seen that.”
Finally, I head back home, exhausted but happy. I’m thinkin’ about all the craziness of the day. From spillin’ coffee to fire jugglers, it’s been a rollercoaster. Raumati-Beach, you’ve got my heart. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
