An afternoon of relaxation and tranquillity had been arranged.
Reading, eating and drinking had been taken care of...
A delightful swim had been located...
Interesting flora and fauna were present in abundance...
An ill-weighted float bobbed hypnotically on wavelets...
The occasional city-bound train rhythmically rattled passed in the distance...
Several marvellous hours of fishing were set to commence...
...then this happened.
