Inside our Fale
On Tuesday we went to Litia Sini beach fale resort. Aunty Viv, Nanna, Granddad, Leilani and I went. Mum, Dad and Talia could not stay because she was sick, Latia was not old enough. On the way we had a couple of stops. We first stopped at the Piula Cave pools. On the last 20km we saw people all dressed in white nurses uniforms driving a vehicle with flashing lights and a sign on the front. We couldn’t read the sign because it was written in Samoan. About half a kilometre after that we stopped at the Sopoaga falls, they drop about 180 feet into a pool. It took us about 2 hours, to get to the other end of the Island. When our fale was made we put all our stuff in and had a swim, we where swimming for about 10 min then the others left and we hopped back in. It started to cloud over before dinner. While we where waiting for tea we got a drink of fanta. I had hot dogs with Leilani. When we finished tea we went for a walk along the beach. The sand was like sinking sand! That night we where going to play skip-bo and have an early night but it turned out it was a late night. That night it was loud because of the waves crashing outside our door of the fale and out on the reef. It was also quite a stormy night. In the morning we were up at 7am swimming but Grandad was the first one in. It was cold or I might be getting acclimatised to this hot weather. We had breakfast at about 8.30. For breakfast I had scrambled eggs on toast, pawpaw, banana and flaai pankekeis (banana pancake balls deep fried yum yum). Then we went for a walk, I think we went to an under ground fresh water pool, on the way back we got two lots of snorkelling gear. When we got back we had to sort out how to wear them. The goggles were a bit big. When we were swimming there was a strong rip. Under the water there was all these fish that came up to you. If I stayed still on top of the water they would all swim under you, Leilani and I where chasing after them, they were white and hard to spot.
