coasteering

   have you ever had the felling that your body is going to turn inside out no? well theres one word for it is horrible.        Well coasteering is when you go down a very steep hill and then you sit down on a log by the water. You get the instructions and then you get to go around on a 2 minute walk across rocks to get to a less rough area. Then we went into the water and clinged arms together and went back into the water and did an american hot tub. Then went on like a 7 minute walk around and went past heaps of rock pools. Then to get to the little island sort of thing you did a small jump to get onto an island sort of thing and did a jump off the highest point of the island sort of thing which was like 10-12 meters high!.Well i did it and i got out with no cuts from barnacels.my reflection and next step: my next step is using punctuation
