Lilly & Emma meet Manukan Island, Kota Kinabalu

On Thursday 4th August 2011, Me, Emma, my mum, my dad and uncle Geoff went to Manukan Island for a trip to go snorkeling. When we were going to leave we had to get life jackets to keep us safe on the speed boat. On the speed boat it was really really bumpy and scary because the waves went up and down really high.

When we were signing in, me and Emma went out on the bridge. We saw this giant sand turtle. It was so sandy we could not see who made it.

Dad bought us some snorkels and flippers so we could go in the sea without tasting sea water and we could see lots of fish.

My mum and dad and Uncle Geoff got to go in the deep end and got to feed little bits of bread to the fish. My dad bought an underwater camera and took lots of pictures of different sorts of fish.

A kind man gave us lots of bread to feed the fish with. Me and Emma fed lots of the fish and watched the grownups feed them too. Another kind man asked if he could have some bread for his family to feed the fish.

That snorkeling day was the best day ever. I felt really excited and happy about going with my family.
