10th July. Islands, slippery rocks and ferries.

We got to go to the islands today. We had to catch at ferry to get there. When we got there I wanted to go straight to the beach to have a swim. But Dad said that we had to find a 'nice' looking beach first. There wasn't very many trees that would keep the shade off you so we were walking around in the sun. When we finally found a bay that we thought looked good we stopped. I jumped straight in. Well you couldn't really jump 'coz all the beaches had rocks and stones instead of sand. The other trouble was, it was really slippery. The rocks were cover in moss. I had to crawl into the water. When you got in it was so nice. But the water was a bit warm. Me and Dad went out to see if there were any fish. Hardly any! Either they were really tiny or swim away when you first saw them. We got out after that. Ben started to make a little hut out of sticks and leaves. It was pretty pathetic. When we left we walked most of the way around the island. Dad and Mum wanted to see the old fort but Ben wanted to eat. So we found a place near the water. But when Dad saw the prices for the salad he said it was to expensive. It was about $70 dollars just for a salad. Seriously!?!?!?! SO we decided to go back up. I ran up first 'coz when I got to the top I knew I could have a rest. But I didn't hear Dad call out my name so I ran right to the top. I waited there and no one was coming until Mum did. She told me that we were going to meet Ben and Dad down in the main part of the island. The place where there is food. So we walked down to the town kinda thing. And waited for Ben and Dad to come. It took forever for them to come. But they did. I was eating a small packet of chips while I was waiting. We walked back up to the fort. I was eating an apple to keep me going. We looked where they kept the prisoners. I didn't find it very interesting. We went back down so we wouldn't miss our ferry home. We got an ice cream before we left. When we got home I was so tired. I think I'm a bit sunburnt to... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxo katya
