Today after we had done our homework Harry and I went fishing with Julian
and Dave, we where called in after half an hour as Harry and Grandad needed to
go to the chandeliers and Grandma, Catrin and I we went for a walk along the
front pedestrian road. Whilst Mummy and Daddy, they would go shopping in the
main shopping town. We walked past a Naval base and we saw a soldier in a navy
blue uniform, he was walking amongst the small and colourful cars. We walked to
where all the cruise ships come in, when we where near the marina we stopped at
the pool for a drink and ice cream. I showed Grandma the swimming pool cafe,
from the cafe Grandma got a coffee and Catrin and I got ice creams!
When we where back at the boat Mummy and Daddy where all ready back at the
boat, they had been to the patisserie, the clothes shops and other shops. They
had brought me a protractor, ruler, a set square, three rubbers and a
calculator. Soon after I had tidied these away Mummy saw Harry walking with a
new rod in one hand and in the other (Daddy’s worst enemy) a Metal net, metal
nets are bad because they make rusty marks on the boat.
After Harry and Grandad had climbed on board we had lunch. After lunch
Daddy, Mummy, Harry, Catrin and I, we walked to the place where we could hire
bikes. We hired four bikes three adult ones and one child’s bike, Catrin had a
seat on the back of Daddy’s bike.
When we had hired the bikes we road of to see the flamingos. When we saw
the first few their heads where all in the pink water, Daddy told me the food
the flamingos eat is the pink stuff which lies at the bottom of the lake. We had
to travel through certain gates, these certain gates led to different places.
When we where almost at the end of the flamingo trail all the flamingos, they
all had their heads up and their bottoms down! On the way back to the bike hire
place Mummy saw a long black snake!
When we got home Harry and I went fishing with Julian and Dave, we caught a
small black crab and a shrimp, we caught these with nets. We didn’t catch
anything on rods or handlines though. After this we had a macaroni cheese whilst
Grandma and Grandad went out to a restaurant we where meant to be going out to
Silvio’s house but he had a football match and he wouldn’t be back till late so
we didn’t go to his house.
After tea we had to untangle Harry’s fishing line and we had to bring all
our fishing things in. When we had done this we cleaned our teeth and we then
went to bed. It was quite hard to get to sleep as there was a very loud and
noisy concert going on!
