The Last Day

WALT: write a recount.

On July the 19th 2015, was the last day of the holidays.  All I did at my friends house for the last day was just, playing games.  I was at my friends house for the whole weekend and it was time for me to go back to my house.

I first had lunch to prepare for my big bike ride.  I was going with my friend, my friends mother, my sister and her french friend.  I had baked beans in a croissant for lunch.  The croissant I had was crunchy and the baked beans were perfect.  It was weird eating the croissant seeing my friend eat because he took bit by bit.  Me on the other hand just took a big piece and stuffed it in my mouth.  I think they could know that I liked croissants.

After that, I got ready for the bike ride.  I didn’t have a bike so I used my friends brothers bike.  His bike was perfect for me.  I also used his helmet.  I was surprised because the helmet tightly squeezed my head and my friends brother was 16 years old!  I don't know how my friends brother could wear a helmet like that.  With everything set, we went on our bike ride.

We went on the bike ride because if I went by car, my last day would be at home doing nothing so the bike ride was able to make my last day fun...with a bit of exercise as well.  We were going to town because that’s where the train station is.  On the bike ride, we went over hills and down hills.  It was very fun because I went so fast, the brakes squealed as they turned red.  

Then we went under the harbor bridge.  The bridge was on top of our heads so we could hear cars and bikes roaring like it was millions of war planes.  Then we had to go on the footpath and ride our bikes near the roads.  We then reached a bridge near town that goes down when boats go away and when boats come, it opens.  We we lucky that it was down.  When we went over the bridge, we got ice cream.

We got ice cream at a place where you can choose any of your favorite toppings and put them on you ice cream.  We then put our bikes somewhere safe and walked to the train station in Britomart.  I had to say goodbye to my friends mother and him because my sister and I had to catch a train back to glen innes.  We had to wait 20 minutes for the train.  That was the end of the bike ride.

When I got home, I quickly emptied my bag and hugged my mum.
