In the Kruger Park there were, of course, completely enclosed areas. The visitors resting areas. There we were free to walk, among delicious cabins (small cottages) run, or just lie on the grass. That was the very first time in my life I dared walk barefoot. At least the first time I remember doing so without being on the beach or at home. The pleasure I felt was indescribable! The pleasure of doing something almost prohibited; the delicious crushing of the fresh grass under my feet!

I also remember those almost magical mornings, when we ran, (we were four kids) barefoot, towards the house to stuff our bellies: the entire trip, I made a point of eating, for breakfast, the succulent English breakfast: I filled my plate with delicious sausages, French fries and a very perfect fried egg, never busted. I started my day feeling my belly was almost bursting, but this didn´t bother me at all.

For as long as I live, I will never forget the freedom and the happiness I felt there, in those days in the wild.

During this trip we also visited other beautiful places of South Africa, but I was little, so I forgot some of them. For instance, I know we have been to the Table Mountain, because it seems to have impressed my family a lot.

I remember well this trip. And the feeling of walking barefoot, something so different from our routines. Nowadays, I sometimes try it at home, but only in the summer...when it is very, very hot 😄

@Teresa Seia And yes, you are right about the Table Mountain, a gorgeous mountain with such a flat top, I remember our parents liking it very much and I felt I was seeing something great

Sounds as if you were so happy there. It's a pity you've lost some of the memories.

@enigma That´s life, enigma. But I have a very strong feeling about that time, I know I was really, really happy. My heart bumps, I feel the smell I associate with that life, and it´s great.

One of the first times that I remember walking barefoot, I ran into a glass plate in the kitchen and the doctor had to come. I think your memory is a lot nicer :)

Caminar descalzo en la hierba te hace sentir en el paraíso, y respirar su aroma es sentir paz

que deliciosa experiencia sra Paula, cuando pequeño ibanos para que mi tío el cual vivian en el monte, en las trillas o carreteras se formaban charcas que al secarse quedaba con la arena como ver talco, me encantaba caminar descalzo en esa arena y sentir como se quebraba

People often say how great it is to walk barefoot. My feet are over-sensitive so I never walk barefoot, exept sometimes at the beach or inside the house. Maybe I should practice some more....
