FIJI 2015

BULA!! (Hello in Fijian)

Our room at the "Hide Away" resort. But we call it the "Far Away" because it is a 1 and 1/2 hour drive from the airport!!!

AHHHH Falling out of the hammock, just out side our room looking out to the sea!

Narrative Writing

The frigid water soaked me from head to toe. I could barely see! But I could see what I wanted, it was pretty hard to miss. The giant sparkling gold pile of GOLD!!!!! ***

It had taken 5 years of research to even scratch the surface of the lost treasures location. There had been many dangerous wild goose chases trying find the loot but finally I had found it. It all started 2 days ago on a beach off the coast of New Zealand. It had taken 24 hours with little rest to find the stone circle in the middle of nowhere ARGH! I groaned, I didn’t think I’d have to get wet, I thought It would be on a secret island or something! I took off my shirt, grabbed the biggest air tank and dived in.

*** It was a lot of gold, when I say a lot I mean LOT probably a million gazillion dollars worth. This is too easy I said with a smile (It probably sounded like- mmh mhm mh I was under water). Something slithered past my leg, I spoke too soon I thought!! I spun around only to come face to fish face with a fish monster. He shouted something like GLURP BLURB TURL BLUR! It probably translated to either come have a tea party or-  GET OUT OF HERE! In angry fish language, I think it was the second one

Yep, before I could say “what”, I heard the clang of the jail door shut and I wasn’t on the right side. I checked my air tank, ½ fill not long I thought. I looked out the bars to check if the fish man was there, he was nowhere to be found. WHOA I said in surprise as I lost my balance and fell onto the bars, with no resistance the door swung open I looked at the lock but it didn’t have a lock. "HA" I said in delight. The fish man doesn't check his locks, I’m free I screamed!!! At that second the fish man came around the corner. "I spoke to soon again" I groaned.

I frantically looked for a way to stun the big fish. I grabbed my air tank and donked him on the head. He went unconscious in an instant. But there was one complication, the air tank was gone! I probably should have thought this through, I thought. I swam faster than I ever have before, I burst through the surface. YES free at last! I screamed! Then I realized I didn’t have a drop of gold NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
