Canoeing Experience

Sunday was a free day and me, Peter, Raquel, Patrick, Caroline, Anita and Barbora decided to go canoeing. So, we put our life jackets on and took the paddles down to the lake. The weather was nice, that is to say, it wasn`t raining.
Me and Raquel were in one canoe and then it was Peter and Patrick, Anita and Caroline and Barbora in other. In the beginning, me and Raquel were a little bit lost because we didn`t know how to paddle. So, Patrick gave us a summarize explanation of how to do it.
We started canoeing towards the little island that is in the middle of the lake.
After a while, my arms were already hurting, but, at the same time I was really feeling good for being in direct contact with nature. Besides that, me and Raquel were focus on reaching our goal: the island!
The team work resulted and, finally, we arrived there. The first thing I did was to walk until the end of the island. It took 2 minutes! We spent 15 minutes there, just chatting and eating blueberries. Then, it was time to go back because some stomachs were already complaining. Me and Raquel were the last ones to arrive to solid ground, but what was really important was that we got there alive and not wet!
