Lake Lotus

Once we went 30 km north to try kiting on a so called Lotus lake. It is a beautiful place with huge dunes and fresh water lagoon. I’ve never heard about anyone kiting there tough so we weren’t sure if everything is right with this spot. First I thought about crocodiles but it appears that they were seen there last time about 25 years ago. Anyway we drived there on our bikes with fully charged gopros and cameras. When we got there it was pretty windy so we took our kites and headed to those big dunes. Unfortunatelly it started raining somehow. It was just a drizzle but the wind stopped blowing almost instantly. After 15 minutes it cleared up so we pumped our kites. I don’t know if it was because of the rain but the wind was very gusty and we couldn’t even go upwind. And more to that only I managed to come back to the beach. My two friends were going more and more downwind and finally we knew they wouldn’t make it. After maybe an hour Daniel came back with his gear and a story how he could’t get out from the water thanks to floating lotos. Conditions hadn’t improved in any way since we came there so after few more tries I had to give up. On the way back our bike got a flat tire.

Yeaaah… It wasn’t the most successful day.
