Solitary Walk
Haiku 242
Social distancing
Gathering for some fresh air
While oceans apart
.
I took a stroll along Muizenberg beach, Cape Town. It was very windy, which was great as it blew the cobwebs away!
Yes, there are people in the ocean in the photo above. That’s about as close as I got to anyone; except when I treated myself to a latte from the little coffee shop.
I sat on the sea wall, wind in my face, as I sipped my hot coffee; just enjoying the sea view, and the illusion of freedom.
Then I slipped my face mask back on, returned to the safety and isolation of my car, and drove home.

Lockdown Rules for South Africa
Wear a face mask at all times
Keep two metres away from anyone
Sanitise your hands at every shop entrance
It was easy to maintain the legal two metres apart here at the beach, as most people were way off in the distance. Even so, we all wore our face masks; it is the law outside of your own home, even when driving alone in your car. You are allowed to remove your face mask temporarily to eat or drink, as long as social distancing from strangers is maintained.
