The Day I Got Next To No Sleep Part II
Imagine. Its three thirty in the
morning, you’ve been dancing to samba all night. What did I want? A hot shower
and my bed, what did I get? A cold shower and a five hour bus ride…I guess 1/2 out of 2 isn’t bad? :p
Okay so the way I put it above made it seem
like I was forced onto the bus, it was I did willing get on the bus. The reason
why the bus was leaving so early was because this weekend was the weekend my
family were taking me to Termas Dos Laranjais. It’s basically a massive water
park. For anyone reading back home just think of Thorpe Park but instead of
being roller coasters there are waters rides. It had everything, from water
slides to Jacuzzis and the great thing about it was all the water was hot! All of
the time!

We arrived at the water park at about 9 in the morning (after leaving
at about 4) I was soooo tired and wanted my bed more than anything but that wasn’t
what I got. My cousin didn’t go out the night before was they were ready to go
so I had to suck it up and enjoy myself. After stripping down to my bikini I was
ready to rumble. My cousins and I went on various rides as they day went on. At
about 1 o’clock it started to rain so we stopped and had lunch. An interesting thing
happened to me at lunch. I was talking to one of my cousins at lunch and I found
out that he speaks English. So he was talking to me in English and I was
speaking to him in Portuguese. So he asked me whenever he made a mistake in English
to teach him the correct way. So I said in Portuguese “I like to teach” but the
thing is, in Portuguese there are two verbs that sound very similar. To teach
and to strip. So of course I said to him in Portuguese “I like to strip”,
instead of “I like to teach” he looked at me abit strangely so I kept repeating
myself until he asked me to say what I wanted to say in English. He realised
what I was trying to say and then just laughed at me, and then told the rest of
my family. I guess my Portuguese isn’t as good as I thought it was!

Because of
the rain we had to leave the park earlier than planned, as soon as I arrived in
the hotel I had a shower and went to sleep! Only waking up to eat dinner and
then returning to my bed. :')
They next day we set out early for the water
park again. It was less crowed than the day before so we managed to go on more
rides. And thankfully the sun came out and stayed out.After a few hours at the
water park it was time to return to the bus for a 5 hour bus ride home. It was
such a good weekend with my family and their friends. I met new people and made
friendships. Win for the British exchange student I think! :D
