We are in the Solomon
Islands right now. It is the hottest place in the world. It is a very nice
country, and everybody is nice. We are here with our boat friends so we can
play on the beach every day. We were here for Christmas, too! I got a Solomon
Islands war club, a Solomon islands fishing float, and a chisel set.
We went to a bunch of different islands, but I want to tell
you about the one that we are in. It is
called Roderick Bay. There is a shipwreck of a boat called The World Explorer,
a cruise boat. It hit a reef, so the owners drove it aground. When we approached
the wreck, oil and diesel was still leaking out of the boat into the water! On
New Year's eve, we had dinner with the locals. They were selling carvings, but
for a holiday special, so I got a nice canoe carving. Mom and Dad got a fish
bowl carving.
We went to Honiara, the capital of the Solomon islands, for
a little bit, then we went back to Roderick Bay where we are now.
