OARSOME OARVENTURE!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we went into Omiš to go rafting on the river  Cetina. In the ticket office we watched some people rafting on TV. Mum, dad, Bailey, Josie, Eliza and I though it would be gentle  and calm but it rough and had rapids. First the guide took us to our skipper. His name was Goran and he was a Thai boxing champion.

We tied the boat on the van. They ripped the seat-belts out so we drove for half     an hour with no seatbelt on (that's very common in Croatia.) When we got to the river we carried the boat in to the water put on some lifejackets and a helmet and hopped in.

There were three parts to the rafting course.  First part: gentle water with a few rapids. Second part: fast water with lots of rapids. Third part: gentle with one massive rapid. On the first rapid the girls were screaming.  After a few more they got use to the rapids and loved it except for the Devils. At one part we did some walking because the next rapid was too big.

 The second part was oarsome when Goran shouted "bomba" on the "Little Devil" (a big rapid). We had to get low in the boat with our oars vertical. Lots of water splashed us!  We saw snakes, turtles, fish and birds on the river.Close to the end of the third part there was the "Big Devil", a giant rapid so big that the boat almost tipped over!

This was a day I would never forget!!!
