Cricket

On Friday we went to the Cricket Stadium. It took us about 10 minutes to drive down to the stadium and we had to park on a steep hill because the roads were closed.

We asked a policeman where to get the tickets. He said to go around the building. It took us about 10 minutes to walk around the building because where we came in was on the exact opposite side!

When we got the tickets and we went through security. We again had to walk the full length back to climb up to the second story. Then we walked back again to find our seats! When we were walking we saw that there other ways to get up that we missed.

We went to find our seats and there were four British people sitting in them. So dad told them politely to go to their own seats. After that we started to watch the game.

About three hours in me and dad went to get some food because I was hungry. We got French fries and chicken and a Coke. We went back and we ate the food.

When we left the West Indies was ahead of England. I was not feeling well so we left.

I thought the game was interesting but I didn't understand it. I now know how the points are scored. I would not go to another cricket game, but I am glad I saw one.

Hash #874

Last week we went to the Harrier Hash in Samaritan, St. Mark's. Samaritan is on the Caribbean side of the island and it takes about an hour to drive up to it from our house. The drive is along windy and steep roads so you have to drive slowly. It is really only about 30 kms away but it takes a long time to get there.

When we got there, there were lots of cars and it was hard finding a parking spot. Dad told us to get out of the car and sign in. (At a Hash there is someone who is sitting on a chair with a clipboard and a cash box. You sign in and pay $2.00 a person. Signing in means they know if you are still out on the trail or back!). Dad found us and the hash started.

The start was discombobulated. It started with false trails (which means you could go the wrong way). There was lots of "on backs" which means you went the wrong way. The pack initially went the right way but got confused and came back! It took a few minutes but we were all finally headed up the mountain.

We climbed up the mountain for about half an hour. There was lots of cocoa, nutmeg and bananas on this hash. It was pretty. At middle of the hill there was an option to do a short walk or a long walk. We chose.....long walk, of course. Mommy was tired already, but she was also doing a lot of stopping and taking pictures.

My brother I didn't want to keep waiting for her so we went ahead on our own. This was fun because we could go at a quicker pace. The downside was we didn't have any water or the phone,

For this weeks hash Aiden and I will carry one litre of water and a phone and we are going to hash on our own! This week the Hash is at La Sagesse my second favourite beach. It starts at four I am excited to go.
