A young girl sets out with her family on a day long adventure through the wilderness of a Spanish rainforest. They hop in their car and try and I mean TRY to make their way to this little town which has the massive forest on the other side of it. You may be wondering why the family would have wanted to go to this said forest, that was the only thing on their minds the entire time.
After 3 hours of being
lost they finally found the start of their hike. Laughing and joking around,
they set off on a 3 hour tour! A 3 hour tour! A 3 hour tour!!! 1/8 of the
way into the hike Amelia and her mother were getting very sweaty and tired.
They each talked to each other about how out of shape they each were, Julie
more than Amelia of course.
The dehydrated, grimy
family finally made it to the runes of a monastery but all they could think
about was the little cafe with ice cold coca colas in it... ICE COLD. They all
sprinted to the table and chugged a few drinks down and gobbled up some food.
Soon they set off again for the next half of their hike. The father had asked
for directions back at the cafe so the family trusted that he knew where he was
going.
Up the massive, gianormous
mountain they went but little did they know that that had run out of water long
long ago. 30 minutes in the family was feeling very thirsty so they all stopped
and watched as Graham searched the backpack left and right and exclaimed,
"Sorry guys but were out of water..."
HOW COULD THIS BE?!? They
had brought quite a few litres! Had they really drank that much water the
family wondered? The need to find the parking lot was much greater now so they
forged ahead! 45 minutes later Graham (being ahead of everyone) yelled out that
he heard cars! Alex yelped with joy and sprinted ahead. The best the girls
could do was to go from a crawl to walking speed. They finally reached the road
and danced around until they realized that it was just a road and not a parking
lot. They had to walk all the way down this steep road to get to the heavenly
air conditioning.
On they went....and
on...and on...! Suddenly the family rounds a corner and sees the car! They
muster all their strength to lift their arms in triumph. When they get to the
car what do they see? A whole lot of bottled water....
Well that was my story about our hike :) Hope ya liked it!

Come on Amelia - it wasn't really THAT hard was it. I am sure your father would never lead you astray - with no water - and sweaty - and lost
