After watching Australia at the Basketball, Tae Kwon Do and visiting Legoland for Luke's 9th birthday we head to Ireland to visit our multitude of friendly relatives. Homeward bound with a stop in Tokyo to really get extreme cultural experiences we will be back on the 27th August. We hope you enjoy our trip with us!

Hunting party by Luke
In the morning☀ we set out with the bushmen, Chris brought his knife I brought my bow and quiver with arrows🎯. They were showing us how to hunt! We set off in our Toyota Hilux🚙, the wheels were let down for the sand. We were in the car🚙 for 10 or 20 minutes. When we got there we got out of the car🚙, then Chris decided that he wouldn't bring it but I still brought my bow🎯. Then we were off. We started by walking🚶 in the forest🌴🌴. After 20 minutes of walking in the yellow grass🌾I got a bit bored😒 then the bushmen sat down I wondered what they were doing? then mum sat down then chris then dad. so I sat down with them then our guide told us that they wanted to teach us how to make string out of plants.🌷🌷 (At the end of my writing i will tell you how to make string) after they showed us how to make string we got up and started walking🚶 again through the yellow grass.🌾 It was amazing 😱 how the bushmen survived with only nature to use. "I didn't notice that we were going around in circles, so we would end up at the cars again. It was annoying scratching seeds Off my leg. After a while of walking the bushmen sat down again I knew now that you sit down I wondered what they were doing this time? The man with the Mohawk At the front of his head started to dig out a little plant. When it was Fully dug out it wasn't little any more it was big! It had a big white ball on the bottom in instead of roots! The man started scraping the big white ball. Then a while later he stopped and picked up some scrapings and squeezed them. Then water came out and then the man scrubbed with the scrapings what were squeezed on him. Then they said that the water was drinkable but sour then he got some more scrapings and everyone had a wash and tried the water and agreed that it was sour. When we were back walking on earth I saw the cars.
THE END

To make string you get this plant called sisal you rub off the leaf with a carved stick. Leaving the fibrous part of the plant reaming. You twist this in your hand in till it turns into string! Hurray you made string!
