Dear diary,

Last Sunday morning, Aunt Emily made an announcement. She told us that she was
going to take us on a cruise! I was very surprised, knowing how expensive a holiday like
that could be. However, we agreed. We aren’t a wealthy family, but we do have a little
money put aside, over the years, which we usually use part of, for vacations.
When the day of departure finally arrived, we were thrilled to see how huge and
luxurious the ship was. Our cruise liner sailed distinguishly out to sea, as our holiday
began.

My Day 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 kilometers 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.

HERO

And the sorrow that you know will melt away
