The Horseshoe
Sparkling water beckons me.Hot rocks burn my feet.Preparing to run...SPLASH!!! I swim against the current to get to the other side,so tiring... I made it!!! As I glance over the oasis like scenery,I see people jumping of the three meter diving board like cliff, landing with a huge explosion of vapour.I glance more to the left I was stunned by the natural lazy river,I have my body board and I say come on Liam lets do it we swim to the back of it on our body board the water is so clean but then we have to climb over the squishy muddy bank,after we made it over we washed our feet off at the start.3,2,1 START the race was on only letting the current and steering propel us is was a huge competition it was so close and then GRIIIINNNDDD I hit a rock bank and I thought it was all other until Liam and Charlot slowed down until they came to a halt THEY HAD HIT THE BANK TOO YES!!! The race is mine I thought as I pushed off the bank but suddenly just by the finish WHOOSH Liam speeds past me,”No he found a strong part of the current”,it was over he won.
As we put the body boards back I couldn't help but notice the teenagers jumping of a cliff into a water hole “we have to do that next” Liam said “yep” I replied.As we made it their we had to use a rope and a few foot holes to climb up their,”Liam you can go first” I said cowardly,he said bravely “yep”,then he sprinted and jumped.I gulped prepared myself and then halfway through running I stopped fretully and exclaimed “I will do it this time’ I didn't in fact it took me 5 practices before I did the real thing,anyway when I did I felt a rush of adrenaline as I jumped I was only falling for about 2 seconds but it felt like 2 minutes,”I'm ALIVE” I survived the fall.
As the sun began to set we began to pack up and leave.As we were walking I exclaimed:
“Best swimming hole ever!”
The excitement shines through in this writing Harry and so it should- it sounds like a typical Kiwi place to have lots of thrilling fun. Great writing.
