The midterm break

One week ago I had my midterm break. My family and I went to Boracay in the Philippines. We started out in Hong Kong international airport and had breakfast there. Then we flew a 2 hour flight to Manila on Cathay Pacific. We had an amazing flight there. We saw lots of tropical islands with sandy white beaches. When we got to Manila we had to wait a long time for our flight. When the plane got here I saw it was very tiny. Then we flew all the way to a village called Caticlan. We didn’t spend a lot of time there. When we got out of the plane we went to a place where a lot of taxis stood. The taxis look like this:



When we finished the taxi ride we went on a boat to an island. The name of the island is Boracay. Boracay is a beautiful tropical island a long white beach with palm trees with coconuts. When we got to the island we went with another a taxi to an inn called the Blue Mango. Here I have made a list of the things we did in the week.

Day 1: we packed out all our stuff and chose our rooms. We also went to swim on the beach. (The beach was right in front of the blue mango inn.)



Day 2: we ate breakfast at 8. We also swam a bit. After swimming we went back to the apartment behind the inn. We also watched some tellie. We went on a sail boat trip. I had a fun time.



Day 3: day three was a bit like day two my dad had to stay back under the parasol because he was sunburned. We went to a Greek restaurant for lunch that day.

Day 4: This day was the highlight of my week. I WENT DIVING!!!! My mum and I went diving with two instructors. It was an introduction dive and we went to ‘Angol Point’ to feed the fish. Hundreds of fish ate bread out of my hand. It was super cool. I tried to talk mum into taking a dive course immediately, but my mum didn’t want to spend the rest of the week in a classroom.


Day 5: we went on a island hopping. We went to a place to snorkel. We saw lots of colourful fish. Then we turned to go to the other side of the island. We had to turn back because the waves were getting to big.

Day 6 and 7: we got ready to go back and got everything ready. Then had a quite breakfast and left.

This is what I did on my break.
