A trip to the Thousand Islands on the 'Awani'

JAKARTA (JP): I'm eight years old. On March 20, I went to the Thousand Islands on this ship.

DAY ONE:

We went to our rooms. Afterwards, we went to the Duty Free Shop. Next to the Duty Free Shop was a children's play area. There was a video game place. I played a video game. It was very good. We went to the upper deck and saw if the swimming pool was full. It was not.

We missed the Power Rangers film -- it was 7 p.m. I went to see my friends with my dad. We talked with them. We went to the upper deck and ordered two coffees and ice cream. It took long for the ice cream, so we canceled it. We went down to get ice cream.

We had dinner. I and my friends went to see Aladdin. Then, in the middle, we went to see a Magic Show. After a while, we watched Outbreak. The film finished and we went to our rooms. We slept.

DAY TWO:

First, we went for breakfast. Me, my mom and dad took a bath and then we went to Putri Island. When we went, it was very cool.

Five people were riding a banana boat and they got tripped over in the water. They did not sink. They had life jackets. We had a free boat ride. We went swimming at the beach. There were too many corals and a girl got hurt on the fingernail by a stone. We saw the aquarium. We saw starfish, a big tortoise, swordfish, zebra fish and goldfish.

It was time to get into the ship. We had lunch. Then we had a Magic Show and we played a game called "Bingo". I just needed two more numbers for a full house.

We returned to Jakarta. We got off the Awani Dream. You know what? The ship is good. You try it!
