Porter's Trip to Tsavo

By Porter Fairbourne

So around the end of last term we went on a trip to a place called Tsavo, the t is silent. It's like a safari. When we got there they had made a elephant out of poacher traps and it had 5 legs. So at first they said we could choose who we slept wit,h but then when we got there they chose our rooms and I was stuck with the year nines and year eights. The first thing we did was play soccer and just eat lunch which I think was good.  By time it was time to go to bed people already had plans of evilness. They were all going to wake up at 12:00 am and all meet together,  but since some people came out early the teachers stayed out there in till like 2:00 am. The next morning there was one very long lecture. That day we were going to go on two drives through Tsavo.  I saw it all except for lions and hippos and rhinos.  It was actually kind of boring because we only saw the animals for like 5 seconds and then they were gone.  Then we would drive 30 min to find another animal.  They said they run away because of poachers. When they see a car they think, "poachers run!!!"  We played with these hula-hoops for a long time and we just chased each other with them and threw them at people. The bus ride was sooo bad! Someone spilled a giant bottle of coke and it was going everywhere. You couldn't keep anything on the ground including you feet. Then we went on another drive and it was equally boring. When we were going home one year seven had to go in the other bus with the year 8s and year 9s and I bravely stepped forward mostly because this bus had A/C. The trip seemed really short.
