Disastrous Journey

A few years ago, my family and I went to the Amazon River by cruise. The journey began well as we boarded the plane heading to Lima. We arrived in Lima without any problems, and we stayed there for two days. Afterwards, we went to the Amazon River City. I went with my father, my sister, my two nephews, and my husband. The cruise for the Amazon River was booked months in advance. When we arrived at the city, the staff of the cruise picked us up, and they took us to the boat. Wow! The cruise was pretty. Our rooms, the living room, and everything were perfect. The boat was traveling down the river, and the views were amazing!

Our disastrous journey all started when we had our first excursion. The guide told us not to touch any plants or animals and to wear plastic boots. When we got off the boat in the middle of the jungle, my little nephew accidentally touched a big flower. I could not believe it! After two hours, his hand started turning red. My nephew and my sister went back to the boat and missed out on the excursion.

  The next day we went fishing for piranhas on the river by the boat. Wow! My husband was anxious to catch one. As soon as he caught one, he was bitten by the fish. On the next excursion, we got off to see Papagayos. Unfortunately, when we left the boat, my father lost his balance and fell into the water. At that time, I felt that everything went wrong, but now I laugh at those memories. In my opinion, these things happen in wonderful trips. Now, I don’t know if my trip was wonderful or disastrous.
