Big Trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the 5th of April me and my mum went on a big walk in the Coromandel Peninsula. It was sooooooooooooooooooo cool. We went with some other mums and some of my friends came to (yes granny Ruby came) .It was a really steep and long walk to say the least but there seemed to be two groups the ‘we are really strong and we will reach the top before you’ and then there was us “the plodders’ It was not all flowers and sunshine though because a little girl of five came with us called Lee. When we stopped to have lunch Lee played by the river, fell and hit her head. When we set of again the fast group went ahead leaving us with Lee who by this time was throwing up. We may have had Lee but I think we had a better time and enjoyed the our surroundings more because we took more time (but we did get back to the cars first!) When we finally got to the hut the doctor in our party (who was in the fast group) took one look at her and said she can’t stay here. So in came the air ambulance! It was a bit exiting!!!! All we had to eat and drink was cold pizza cold sausage rolls and water and hot chocolate …… very healthy. I really enjoyed this game of UNO the whole group played and we all had hot chocolate!!!!!!! We got no sleep mind you because of about 14 teenagers and their drunken fathers who just would not go to sleep. In the morning we had breakfast (pizza and sausage rolls) and set off back down sadly Lees sister Taylor was sick so again I don’t know why the fast group and the doctor said we want to go down the long way so the fast group went the long way and the plodders went the short way with the sick Taylor. On the way down we stopped of for lunch in the same place we had the day before. When we got to the bottom Taylor felt better and we were all very happy to be down. When the rest of the group got down we went and had a coffee and a cake. Now despite what you may be thinking we had an awesome time and I would do it again.
