The day I dreaded finally came. I wanted this trip to end fast so that I could go home and start playing computer games. It was Christmas month. My family, including me went to Phuket, Coral Island. We had to take a plane there, as usual and then when we touched down, we had to go to the 'harbour' and take a boat to Coral Island. It was the third trip there as a family as we like to spend our holiday's there, any type of holiday's like school or public holiday.



As soon our leg touch dry ground again, me and my siblings ran to the check-in counter. There were many people living there for their holiday. When we got our key, we ran to the chalet and waited for my parents, out of breath. When we were in the chalet, we changed to our swimsuits and in a flash, we were in the pool. But of course we asked our mother permission before we ran to the pool, again and jumped into the pool like hot dogs panting.



The pool was dirty but we didn't care a bit. We just swam and swam and until we came up with a lame song,I would say. It goes like this' Standing on my right foot,I want to hear your right foot.Standing on my left foot, I want to hear your left foot.' and so on and so forth. We played until it was lunch time. We went back to bath and after we ate, me and my brother sat on the bed to play our PSP(Playstaion Portable). We must have played for hours because when we stopped playing, it was time for dinner. "Eww! I don't eat this kind of food!" I said. I was kind of choosy that time. Still, I ate some rice and eggs.
As soon we went back to the chalet, we went to brush teeth and sleep with pyjamas."Tomorrow, we are going to sit the banana boat." I suddenly felt sick."Stomach-ache," I decided and went to sleep.



The next morning, my family went to the beach to sit the banana boat. I did not want to go on it as I was eating potato chips. My mother, brother and sister climbed onto the boat and they also wore life jackets in case they fell off the boat. My mother sat right behind, followed by my brother, sister than the speed boat which was pulling the banana boat. I sat there and wanted until they came back. After that, we went through a forest and reached another beach called banana beach. I sat down in a chair provided with my father.

My brother abd sister got some bread and went to feed some fish. As soon as they threw the bread into the water, thousands of fishes came swimming towards them.

We went back to the chalet to have a bath but found out that there was only cold water and the electrical appliances were switched off. My mother went to the counter to ask what happened. The man said that everyday at this time, the eletricity would be switched off. So we had to bath with cold water.

We went for some lunch and than went hermeat crab hunting. We each brought a backet and whenever we found a hermeat crab, we would put it in the backet. I discovered a hole and wondered what was inside. I poked a stick into the hole and felt something pulling it. I pulled it as hard as I could and saw a gigantic hermeat crab. I let go of the stick and made a run for it. I ran until I found my brother. I related what I had seen to him and we decided not to disturb it. We went back to the chalet and waited for our parents to return. My sister came back with a backet full of hermeat crabs. We put the backet on the floor when we saw our parents. They said they had booked a boat to set out to sea and do some fishing. He told us to get ready and meet him at lobby. When we reached the lobby I saw my father and mother waiting there with my brother and sister. We got onto the boat and set off.

We cast our lines and waited for a bite. My brother suddenly yelled" I caught and fish!" while reeling the line in. And sure enough on the hook was a fish.
After all those racket, we finally ended with about 7 to 9 fishes. We went back, gave the chef all the fishes and he cooked it for us.
The next morning, we set off to the speed boat. It was time for us to go home. It was a tiring trip, I would say. In the end, we ended up playing our PSP instead of sleeping. Although I had said i dreaded the start of the trip, I liked the end of the trip because it was finally the end of it! :)
