At the Beach
Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to
Smith Beach, which is only five kilometres from where I live. When we arrived at the beach,
we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.
After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there
were not many people there. It was also quite windy. After we bought some hot chips at the
takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part
of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we were many miles down
the beach.
Before we made the long trip back, we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while,
and then sit down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly
dawned on us that all the way back, we would be riding into the strong wind.
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some
good lessons that day.
Di Pantai
Minggu lalu teman saya dan saya bosan setelah tiga minggu libur, jadi kita naik sepeda kita
untuk Smith Beach, yang hanya lima kilometer dari tempat saya tinggal. Ketika kami tiba di
pantai, kami terkejut melihat hampir tidak ada orang di sana.
Setelah memiliki dip cepat di laut, yang benar-benar dingin, kami menyadari salah satu
alasan tidak ada banyak orang di sana. Itu juga cukup berangin. Setelah kami membeli
beberapa chip panas di toko Takeaway dekat, kami naik sepeda ke pantai untuk sementara
waktu, pada bagian, keras lembab pasir. Kami memiliki angin di belakang kami dan sebelum
kami sadar, kami banyak mil ke pantai.
Sebelum kita melakukan perjalanan panjang kembali, kami memutuskan untuk mendayung
kaki kami di air selama beberapa saat, dan kemudian duduk untuk beristirahat. Sementara
kami sedang duduk di pantai, hanya mengobrol, tiba-tiba sadar kita bahwa semua jalan
kembali, kami akan naik ke dalam angin yang kuat.
Ketika kami akhirnya pulang ke rumah, kami berdua benar-benar habis! Tapi kita belajar
beberapa pelajaran hari itu.
My Adventure at Leang-Leang Cave
On Sunday, my parents, my best fruend Novi, and I visited a cave at Maros called Leang-
leang . It was my first time to visit the cave, better yet, my best friend came to visit it with
me!
The cave was famous for its primitive cave wall paintings which were some hand prints and
wild boar paintings. The cave and its surroundings was turned into a national park, so it was
taken care of. My parents took a rest in a small hut for visitors of the park, while Novi and I
adventured around the cave with a guide. We had to climb some metal stairs to get to the
cave, because the cave was embedded into a small mountain. Next stop was a place where
some seashells littered the ground and some were actually piled into a big mound! The guide
said that these piles of seashells are called kjokkenmoddinger, or kitchen trash. The humans
who lived here ate the shells and dumped the left overs in their 'kitchen'. The last place was a
small museum where they have skeletons of the humans who lived in the caves. The
skeletons along with some roughly made jewelry and weapons were placed inside glass cases
for display. The walls of the museum were adorned with photographs taken when they did an
excavation there.
After a quick lunch with Novi and my parents, we decided it was time to go back home. We
really had the time of our lives!
