Hi, it is Joseph here.

Shanti and Mike took us to the little beach where they had done a nude massage and then had sex in front of a stranger watching them from the cliff. This is in Letter 17 I think.

The area was in the Shakespear Regional Park, another park run by the organization I work for, the Auckland Regional Council. Since this was mainly farming land the Rangers ran the park as a farm instead of native bush as in my park and so, for the most part, things hadn’t changed much from when Shanti and Mike had been there many years ago.

Leaving the car park we followed the steep climb they took up to the ridgeline and along the old farm road until we came to the little-hidden valley. We took the track from the little-hidden valley down to the small beach set against the cliffs for most of its length. Of course, as we expected, this being a week day, the beach was deserted. We had not met or seen anyone all the way from the other bay and even back by our cars there had been hardly anyone around.

This was sure a beautiful little beach and being so sheltered, the cool breeze we had up on the ridge was now going high over our heads. Down on the beach, the air was still and warmed by the morning sun. It was so nice there and the water was just asking us to go swimming.

“Who's for a swim?” asked Shanti.

“Count me in,” I said.

“And me too,” Amita added.

Soon we were all stripping off our clothes. We had worn our togs under our clothes but since we were alone these were soon coming off too. So then we were naked, running down across the sand towards the water.

The water was lovely; well those of us from New Zealand thought it was anyway. I think those from India thought it was a bit too cold for their liking. But anyway everyone went in and we all had fun too.

Soon a fight developed between the girls and us guys with lots of splashing and them ganging up trying to duck one of us. Of course with some of us guys being a lot stronger than them, they weren’t having so much luck

To my surprise, Hansini and Amita were trying to duck me but they weren’t doing very well as I kept avoiding them throwing me over. Then suddenly I felt someone behind me grabbing me. A foot slipped pushing my one aside and the girls taking their opportunity to push me, sending me crashing into the water. Katrina! I will get you for that!

Now as we left the water we saw Kathy and Jagesh were on the beach trying to build a sand castle. Being so young they weren’t doing such a good job until Mike and I offered to help them.

“Let’s build a big sand castle,” I said.

Then Mike said, “Come on Kathy, we can build a better one than them.”

So soon we were into a contest to build the best and biggest sand castle. Some of the others were joining in too helping either on our castle or on Kathy’s castle. Then Shanti had started building another one beside them and Sarvesh and Amita were making a fourth beside us. It was fun doing something like that. I know the two little kids had as much fun as all us the big kids.

We went back and sat down under some shady trees. Mike said they were not as big when he was there last and there had been no shade on this beach.

“Why don’t we take some photos of this for our albums?” I asked.

“Yes,” agreed Shanti. “We can all get together in a group.”

“No,” I said. “Just you two first. Like it was when you were here last time.”

“OK,” she replied.

“Where was that guy last time?”

“Up there on that cliff-top under those trees,” she pointed.

            “Just give me a few minutes to get up there and everyone else can get out of the way. You and Mike can then be pretending to do the massaging again,” I said.
           "Oh, like a replay?"
           "No Shanti. Pretend you were doing it the first time."
           A big smile appeared on her face and I knew she had caught on to my idea.

I began the long climb up to the cliff. To my surprise, Hansini and Katrina came with me. Just in case we met anyone we had first slipped on some of our clothes.

First, we climbed up the little track to the farmland again but then instead of turning back in the direction we had come we turned in the other direction climbing the steep hillside behind the cliff. Once we were high enough up, we turned back towards the cliff-face again. There was the farm fence to get over and then we found ourselves looking down at the entire beach below us. The view was spectacular.

Below us, on the beach, everyone except Shanti and Mike had moved further down the beach taking most of our gear with them. It looked like they had even smoothed over the sand a lot too. Shanti and Mike were laying on a towel with only one bag with them much as it would have been years ago. They were all looking up at us.

Katrina gave them a wave to show we were in position and ready and then Mike began to massage Shanti while we took some photos. I took photos from a distance and zoomed in on them too. Then to our surprise, Mike was laying on top of her as if they were having the sex as they would have done back then. I don’t think it was anything more than posed but it looked real enough for the photos.

Once we had finished those photos of just Shanti and Mike, the others came back over and we then took some more photos of all of them sitting together on the beach as well. They then all went down to the water again and soon were swimming. First Shanti and Mike were just together for some photos of them swimming and they even performed that part where Shanti was able to duck Mike and then all of the others went in as well.

“These are going to be great photos,” I told the girls.

“Yes,” agreed Hansini. “I want some copies too.”

“Come on,” Katrina said. “We are missing out in another swim.”

We quickly made our way back down and soon we had our clothes off again and we were joining them in the water. This time we were in the water for only a short time when Kathy called out to us. We all looked around to see her pointing at our sand castles. The incoming tide had begun eating away at them.

We stood around watching as each wave cut more and more away from our handy work. Soon it was clear that all of our castles would be gone. So we were watching to see which would last the longest. In the event, it turned out to be Kathy and Mike’s castle which was the last to fall.

By now the time was getting on and so we got dressed, packed up our things and headed for our cars at the other beach.

It was interesting for all of us to see where this story, that many of us liked so much, had actually taken place. I think to see the real beach has somehow made the story more real to us as well.

Of course, the only thing missing was to discover someone up on the cliff watching us. Although I must confess that a few of us looked up there at the cliff top a few times hoping to catch someone watching us. But of course, there was no one there.

That is about all for my story so now I’ll hand you back to Shanti now.
