Waves Of Dizzyness

It was the 31st of December. The Summer Holidays. I looked at the time. 6:23. “Shushhh!!!” Dad whispered. I got up, dressed and crept quietly past Nam’s sleeping form. Yum, Waffles! I gobbled my breakfast and went into the bathroom. Some minutes later, I emerged into the living room. We hopped into the car with Nam still asleep and after like a few minutes (more like 2 hours) we arrived at Wellington. We drove over to the docking area and boarded the huge ship. When the boat left the dock, it was calm and I was fine. Until it started moving faster.

 A wave of dizziness cast itself over me. I felt sick to the core. Outside I heard wind rushing by and that made it even worse. I told my parents and my dad tried to distract me. We went outside and the wind twirled my hair into a tangled mess. The propellers of the engine came at an amazing speed under the water. Foam bubbled it’s way onto the surface and I noticed it left a slight trail behind us. I could see way back in the North part of NZ. I looked forward and saw the silhouette of the huge mountains way up ahead.

 My dad and I went back inside. “Are you hungry?” He asked me. “Uhh, a little bit” I answered. We made our way to the food court area. “Hmm” I thought out loud. “I’ll have an egg and bacon pie, and a cup of hot chocolate please” I ordered. “And I will have one of these sandwiches” My dad continued. The counter waitress handed us one of those sticks with a number. “It will be delivered to your table in a few minutes” She replied politely. We chose a table by the window (which was very hard 

because it was so crowded) and some minutes later the waitress came with our food. I finished the delicious piece of pie and drank my hot chocolate. Suddenly a voice came over the speakers. “WE WILL ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION IN A FEW MINUTES. PLEASE RETURN TO A SEAT AND BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS UNTIL WE ARRIVE”. Everyone rushed to their seats and my dad and i had to struggle through the crowd. My mum and Nam were already there. Out through the window an island came into view.

 Finally we were at the South Island.
