We had a tank full of fuel and…
A car to drive in, camping time!
We all load our belongings into one of our cars and then all but one of us hop into the other. Dad is driving the car with the belongings and mum is driving the car with the people.
Pump, bump,bump, bump,bump,bump,bump,bump.” This is a crazy bumpy car ride” I say as we slim into another pot hole. We look out at the glimmering blue ocean and wonder when the ride will end. Then after another hour we arrived at a lovely camping ground, and we were the only ones there.
As we put up the tent on the soft dry grass a gust of wind comes and nearly plows the tent right out of our hand. Then we put up the fly, make our bed and prepare the lantern and shove the rest of our belongings into the other two smaller tents that are pitched in a 50 millisecond walk from us.
Then we put on our bathing suits and start hiking to the mountain lake. It was hard work walking up and down. At first the hike was out in the open where there was plenty of sun but evenchiely we got to a native bush and wet slimy ferns slapped us in the face and a small trickle of water trickled down a grove in the path.
After what seemed like thirty minutes we finally reached the lake. It was beautiful and definitely worth the walk. Then after a long swim we walked back to the camp site to watch the sunset on the water while roasting marshmallows and making smores.
In the morning after a bad night's sleep, me and my family went for a swim in the ocean. Well all except mum, who went on a walk instead.
Then after another night we packed up and went home.
