After about 6hrs of sleep my brother Nate and I decided to go for a little look around the place after some breakfast.
A little while into our investigation we found some coconut trees and armed with this knowledge we ran back to the house to grab are multi-tools that we had received as gifts before we left New Zealand (thanks Johnston family) which unfortunately meant that the blades where still extremely sharp and after about 10 minutes of fruitless efforts our Mum came to tell us that we where leaving to go and get some lunch in town so we should pack up but us being teens had taken that to mean that we should be ready to pack up later but just after she left disaster struck in the form of my knife slipping on the glossy surface of the coconut and making its way down my palm leaving behind a crevasse that was slowly filling with warm sticky blood and as Nate looked up and saw what had happened his face turned slightly pale and then mum happens to appear at that moment to tell us to get a move on and as Nate turns to look his knife slipped and nearly cuts through tip of the knuckle on his thumb so that when Mum finally reaches us all she saw was Nate and I holding our hands while blood seeps though our fingers and dripping onto the soft grass. After Mum rushes us inside to clean our cuts and our step dad Mark goes to the servo to get some medical supplies for our knife wounds while Tom our three-year-old brother wondered around the house without a care in the world while I was busy trying not to pass out and Nate was wondering if the tip of his knuckle would come off. After Mark had returned and our wounds were dressed, we decided to continue with the trip into town and after about 30 minutes of cycling we entered the town (Avarua) and started to cruise the streets like hungry sharks looking for their next meal. After finding a suitable place for our hunger called “The New Place” we sunk into the couches that surrounded the table and relaxed with some lime and soda water and a beef burger that was quite a nice size for a burger. After that we went to the supermarket and stocked up on more supplies and then we crashed for the rest of the day at home.
