I have been longing for the things I haven't had since I left Nigeria for South Africa 15 years ago, one of them being coconut Water.
I have been seeing coconut along the beach but haven't gone to buy it, since @oadissin has been spoiling me in Benin, being of help where possible I told him I long for coconut water.
Were we supposed to have it last week when he visited but it rained and we ended up being indoors and opted for something else for lunch.
We were out to get some stuff done, and on our way back we stopped at the beach for coconut water. You should see the smile on my face, it was like a boy who's gone out with his papa to a favorite shop.
I can't recall when last I had coconut water, probably 18-20 years ago. Not only do I want the water I want the coconut meat as well.
So I had two coconut water, Olivier had one but it was nice to offer the coconut meat from one of my coconuts.
It was hot but being on the beach makes the heat less thing to worry about. We had a walk while sipping our coconut water and came back to the guy selling the coconut to open it coconut for us so we can have the meat.
Our time on the beach was brief say 30-40 minutes but was great, we will be doing this again soon when.
I have never seen Olivier's photo on Hive so I asked if he doesn't mind if I share the selfie we had, he said he doesn't mind so guys here is a face to the name @oadissin 😃
Coconut water is healthy, and rich in electrolytes, vitamins, etc. Do check out its benefits here if you wish.
3rd of May 2023, Olivier and I went for coconut thirst-quenching on the beach and it was fun.
We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
