Hanuma Bay Poem
Today we 'did' Hanauma,
To snorkel coral reefs,
We saw turtles, fish and urchins,
well within our reach.
The sea was clear and blue-green,
the waves were not too rough,
the shouls of fish darted about -
it was so hard not to touch!
Our goggles we bombarded,
with visions truly great,
we didn't want to leave the bay-
but knew we couldn't be late.
A bus we caught by dinner,
then out again for tea,
'Cheesecake Factory' our venue-
not far from beach and Sea.
Our bellies were well-struggling,
with scrumptious food and drink-
we watched the sun set after-
no swimming or we'd sink!!!!

Katie how much work am I going to have to do to catch up with your sun tan? (Mum)
Not long till France although I bet you would rather be doing the Hawaii holiday for longer!
A new bed for your 'old room' arrives today.

It sounds wonderful, coral refs and turtles,wow! I'm so glad that you saw Tom and Giulia, if you get a chance and plan to see them again could you get Giulia a birthday card from us as her's is just a few days after Tom's. Did they get a chance to see you play?
