The water was nice in the bay of Lombardo just before we docked at Korcula- Ms McDougall and Robbie swam for about 25mins behind the boat. But the current was strong at times so thankfully Robbie held on to a rope so we didn’t lose her. She is amazing for being 80years old. My legs are too long and although they are strong for standing they are not strong for swimming.
The guard was on the outside of the walls of Dubrovnik so he was guarding the old city. Years and years ago the wall was built to protect it. In 1991 the wall also protected it when there was another war. We learnt all about the war and we were very sad about some of the horrific things that went on. I am so lucky to be in Te Whare Kiwi and Tatuanui School because "we caRe". Every day I see children helping one another and keeping the class and school well looked after. So to hear about how other people in other countries have been so mean to others it makes me very sad but very thankful. Tatuanui School is a great place to be.
The ropes on the bridge of Dubrovnik...
Boats can go under the bridge, it is very high so the ropes must be for something else. They are made of steel though. Did you see the box thing in the centre of the bridge near the ropes? I wonder what that is? Do you know?
I wonder what the box thing is...
ReplyDelete... if it is a sky train?
... if it is a box that people can go in to go up to the top of the bridge?
... if it is a carriage to go across the bridge?

Was the Buggy ride fun?
ReplyDeleteWas it safe?
Did you drive pass the boat?
How fast did you go Sammie G?
Did Ms McDougall do any donuts or skids?
Oh the buggy ride was such fun! Robbie was a little scared, Ms McDougall is a fast driver. ( but not in her car!). No we didn’t drive past the boat we drove over the island through olive trees and vineyards to a little quiet beach.
DeleteWhat’s a donut? No skids as she was in control all the time.
