The end of an incredible journey
It is with such sadness that this Bicknell family adventure must come to an end. We will arrive home with knowledge that can’t be acquired through T.V. or literature. We have met people that will forever remain in our hearts. We have spent such beautiful time together as a family and this is what I’m most grateful for.
Before I talk about my most outstanding moments of the trip, I need to share yesterday with you all. A day in the Maldives. We awoke to yet another perfect day and shared another beautiful buffet breakfast together. When we arrived back at our room, the room had been tidied and a love heart made from towels and flowers had been placed on our bed and a crocodile on the boys’ beds. Amazing!
The boys then went off snorkelling for an hour whilst I read. Within ten minutes of their return they had their first ever sailing lesson and they had an absolute ball. After another buffet lunch, David and the boys entered the sailing regatta and actually won their heat. I’m sure I could be heard screaming and cheering all over the island. They then came 5th in the final and received a medal. No one could believe it.
After a buffet dinner on the sand of the beach under the stars, we rested before we headed out for the nights entertainment, a comedy show. Jack especially found the comedy very funny and was hoping to be called up on stage to participate. We all fell into bed about 11pm. That’s life on Kani. Superb!
My favourite place: Maldives.
My least favourite place: The streets of Delhi.
My funniest moment: When the elephant tried to swallow David’s arm. We want to enter the footage into Funniest Home Videos.
My scariest moment: When the lion walked past the car.
My saddest moment: Leaving Shiduli (and probably when I leave Kani).
I can’t believe it’s all over. How will life ever be the same again? We are all changed for the better, forever. Signing off for the final time. Nat xxx
