Thursday August 3rd 2006 We have asked the Scouts to keep a diary
of their experience. We thought it would be nice to show extracts on the
site. The extracts are unabridged!
Jack Gillett - 14th Hackney - Day One
We all met at the Hackney Town Hall at 7 o'clock to leave on the coach
for the airport. We got to the airport and had to check in. We got on
the plane and had an 8 hour and 30 minute journey. When we got off the
plane it was raining outside. We then got out of the airport and got some
minibuses. We then drove to our villas, but it took a long time because
we couldn't find them! We got to the villas eventually and changed clothes
to go shopping at Walmart. We bought some food and stuff and then went
back to the villas and had some supper. We all then watched Turkish Kick
Boxing on the tv. Then we all finally went to bed to go to sleep.
Oliver Whitsed Robbins - 7th Stoke Newington - Day Two
Dear Diary, There are two really annoying birds singing and I am annoyed
at them. Got up around 9.00am and relaxed for a while. We got to go into
the pool, played air hockey and that's kind of it!
Charlotte Joseph - 12th Hackney - Day Three
Dear Diary, Today we went to Universal Orlando resort. We watched Shrek
4-D, Twister and Terminator 2 3-D. I enjoyed the Mummy(a roller coaster)
after I gave myself some confidence to go on it! Back to the Future and
Nickleodion (Jimmy Nutron) were both simulators and we were hurled everywhere.
The packed lunch (which I made) was soggy and manky! Derrick said if one
spoon went missing from the house then each group would pay ten dollars
each to replace them! That's a lot of money! Soon we went to the kids
zone and we went on the ET Adventure, it was rubbish! And we ran through
a mine field of water fountains, we got wet!
Adam Benjamin - 14th Hackney - Day Four
We woke up between 8 and 9 then we set off to the Nike Clearance store.
We spent about an hour there and in the Dollar Shop before setting off
to another Nike Store where we had our lunch and looked at other stores.
Then we drove to another centre, where we spent most of the day and hardly
bought anything! Finally we set off looking for a place to eat, but everywhere
seemed to be packed. After a long dive we finally decided to eat at McDonalds
before heading back home.
Mikayla Healy - 29th Hackney - Day Five
Today I started my swimming lessons with David. They are really fun, I
think I'm getting the hang of swimming. I think I'll be able to swim by
the time I get home. When we went to the cinema at Universal Orlando we
saw 'John Tucker Must Die'. It was really funny. Afterwards, some of us
went back into Islands of Adventure and rode The Dueling Dragons. I really
enjoyed it. Before we went home, we saw a firework display - it was really
cool.
Erhan Korkmen - 12th Hackney - Day Six
Today we went shopping (again). We went to a huge shopping city where
I bought a 'Guns and Roses' greatest hits CD, which is knock out! I was
saving my money, so I really didn't get much. I bought red and black laces
to match my new Vans Trainers, now they look wicked! We had to do a barbecue,
which went bad as bad as a chocolate fireguard! Terrible! Then cleaning
the barbecue was like trying to douse hell with a bucket of water, bloody
terrible! Me and Ollie were up to 2 o'clock in the morning finishing all
the cleaning. Then I stubbornly fell asleep.
Benn Kingsley Joseph - 14th Hackney - Day Seven
Today I woke up at 11am and saw everybody in the pool. So I jumped in
as well for about an hour then got out. About 15mins after getting out
we got changed and headed off for Mike's house. We stayed there for 20mins
and then went to Walmart. The only person who came from the other house
was Charlie Gillett. After shopping we dropped Charlie off at his house
and returned to our Villa. We went for a swim for about an hour. Mike's
house came round to us for a game of football - it was way too hot to
play! After football the other house left and we all munched into Pasta
Bake which Joanne made, washed up, and then crashed out in bed after watching
Reno 911, The Chapelle Show and South Park, which were all funny.
Hannah Cowley - 29th Hackney - Day Eight
We woke up bright and early to get ready for the Sea-World Adventure!
Off we went. James was being an idiot, he was really cringey! He kept
pretending to a penguin, and walking like an odd bod! I think his brain
had fallen out of his arse that morning!!!! The first show we saw was
the Dolphin Show, it was okay. Then we went to the 'rubbish' circus show,
needless to say we did not enjoy that! Then we went to see, what I thought
was the best show, 'Believe' starring Shamu the Killer Whale. That was
a really excellent show, although the opening was quite cheesy! We rode
the roller coasters, and wet rides. Some of us were suffering from heat
exhaustion. Only some of us rode the rides. Kraken was by far the best
rollercoaster here! Massimo conquered his of roller coasters by riding
Kraken! Later on we went home and performed our own version of the Shamu's
show, (I played Shamu!) in our pool! Then some of us went shopping and
James continued to embarrass me! I felt that today was one of the best
days so far.
