<\/a>Uncle Chris and I in front of our plane we are about to board.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Aunty Kylie, Papa M. and Alex the pilot and I.<\/p><\/div>\n
I asked if I could go in the cockpit and I could!<\/p>\n
<\/a>This is me learning how to speak into the microphone.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Alex and I getting ready for take off!<\/p><\/div>\n
Time for take off! \u00a0We where speeding so fast that our front wheel was off the ground in no time and then we soared up in the air. \u00a0 1 second later storm clouds where circling above us “What a bad day to lift off ” bellowed Alex the pilot through the head phone set that all of us were wearing.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Here we are high up already and flying over the south of Raro where there are four little ‘motus’ islands in the lagoon.<\/p><\/div>\n
At least ten minutes later we where circling over the ‘Captains Retreat’, which is the house where we were all staying at, and we saw little dots and water sparks coming out of our pool, so cute! The dots were Tessa, Nick, Amelia and Dom, my siblings and cousins.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The third house from the bottom of the photo, the one with the blue pool, is our holiday house. The dots in the water is my family! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n
Then I took over the flying of the plane, it was so cooooool!!!!!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Look Alex is all hands off!!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Sooooo exciting and fun!<\/p><\/div>\n
20 minutes later we where skimming the runway for our touch down but then the plane soared back up again because Alex pulled a bit too hard on the steering wheel. \u00a0We had to do it again and then we raced until the end of the run way.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Wow, the run way isn’t all that long! I am glad we are in a small plane…<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Phew, that was great fun.<\/p><\/div>\n
Well done pilot Ben!!!<\/p>\n
<\/a>That’s Chris and I with the our trusty Cessna plane.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
