The Storm from Hell

Today we woke up to a very humid morning. I got up and made some breakfast for my sister and myself. After breakfast we just lazed around a bit. Then a brewing storm could be seen out at sea. Dad said that we had better take the awning down. But we didn't move. It was so humid that we were sweating even though we were sitting still. Mum said that she could see the black clouds on the horizon and Dad went for a look. He said that we had better get that awning packed up. The clouds were coming in fast and they were turning blacker by the minute.

Once we were outside the wind started. It was practically howling and then there was the rain. It started bucketing down 2 minutes into the operation. To make matters worse a pole was bent and because of this we spent a good fifteen minutes trying unsuccessfully to get the awning down. Dad eventually got the pole out and after a hurried bit of metalwork by Dad it worked. By the time we got the awning down it was sunny and you wouldn't have any idea that a storm had just passed. Mum, Dad and I were soaked through to the skin and Mum was shivering a lot. My sister had got towels ready for us while we were outside holding down the awning. After drying ourselves I made Mum a cup of tea. I was pretty cold as well as I had been wearing my sleeveless shirt and shorts. Dad who was in soaked shorts and a drenched short sleeved T-shirt was actually still warm.

After a bit we had lunch. After lunch we all piled in the car and drove to different bays. The weather was a bit windy so we didn't snorkel. Instead we drove back to the caravan and Dad and I went fishing. On the way back to the caravan we came across a 2 metre Black Headed Python. We stopped and took some photos and then drove on to the caravan. When we arrived at the caravan Dad and I walked to the spot where we were fishing yesterday. I saw all the little Spanish Flag down in the water. I dropped down a baited hook and caught a small 15 cm Spanish Flag. After that we didn't catch anything except another small Spanish Flag. Then we headed back to the caravan.

Mum started cooking dinner. I started writing the blog. I got interrupted when we had dinner. For dinner we had Spaghetti Bolognese with Noodles. After dinner I finished my blog. After dinner we had dessert. Dessert was some more german wafers. After that I went to bed.
