@Prem51 got most of it right, though there are strays as well who frequent the beach (animal charities do a great deal, but animal ownership is nowhere near as ''caring' re sterilisation etc as We in UK are used to..)
Dogs are pretty tidy, and will dig and bury,
( and I can't remember seeing one doing anything in sight on the beach.)
Yep for being careful, ...though most just want a hug and the company it seems, the free food they get seems like an added bonus.
I hear what ya say, re bikes and dogs,
@Prem51 ..and if I'm honest when I first came out you could add.
*Airplanes
*Malaria
*Snakes ( sea and land)
*Bag snatches
And many others to the list of "things to be wary of"
But as I ride a bIggish bike in London (
)
I've got used to ' rationalising ' ACCEPTABLE Risks.
And I suppose as diabetics, we play that game, everyday
But we are all different of course, what suits one, won't suit every one.
Personally I've never been a victim of any bike, bag, or animal attack anywhere I've travelled, but I DO realise it DOES happen, and that I perhaps have been lucky.
But I always try to go in eyes wide open, evaluate and try not to let it interfere with what I'd LIKE to do,
if i feel I can balance the risks.
Though I do have to own up to having to abandon a scooter one year, as we fed bananas to the cows and a herd greedily engulfed us... Cue much laughter by us (and the small crowd who gathered ) at the stupidity of the situation..hahaha
