                      Survivor Coursework.

December the 26th was the day me and my boyfriend tom were set to go to Thailand.

We woke at 7am two hours had gone by in the airport and we were now heading through to board on the plane.
I hated flying but the only other way was a ferry and I felt even more unsafe about travelling on water, but tom promised me if we got the plane over everything would be alright and I trusted him. So there we were sitting on the plane ready to take off I was so excited yet nervous at the same time.
An hour later up in the air the air hostess’s were bringing us our lunches, then the plane started to shake and people were saying that we needn’t worry everything was fine its just a bit of cloud underneath us we had hit.
I was gasping and gasping I felt like I was having I was having a fit. It soon calmed down though and things were back to normal. Twelve long hours later. We arrived at the Thai airport; we got through all the customs and got in a taxi to take us to our final destination were our hotel was.
We were too tired to go exploring today so we had a drink in the bar and then just went to bed for the Night.
  The next morning, I Felt as if the bed was moving, I opened my eyes and It was At first I didn’t know if it was an earthquake and I had had a few drinks the night before. So we went down for some breakfast, and got talking to another British couple about the earthquake, not realising the other effects they can have.
We went down to the beach with the couple we had met Paul and Laura.
Me and Laura were just topping the tan up layed on the sun beds as Tom and Paul had a game of volley ball with some of the other lads down on the beach. Then Paul and tom shouted us over and there in front of us was a big white wall of water, but was hidden in this dirty blackish colour stretching from one side of the bay to another. We saw these kids in the water playing with there ball tossing it back and forth each other, then at the side of them was a small wooden longboat that looked As if there family were on it. But the water was moving the boat further and further slowly to the boys.
It was only then did we really realise that those kids and people on the boat could die if they went any further into the sea.
As we looked up we could see that the wall of water was getting higher and higher and coming in.
All you could hear was screams and people shouting people to run , then Tom and Paul ran to get help the boys and the people that were on the boat as they did so Paul told us to run and don’t look back. But I couldn’t leave Tom. Paul ran back to us as I stood there telling Tom to hurry. Then the water hit the sun beds and knocked me over, that’s when we all began to really panic.
I tried to run but I could the water was at knee height now and was making me struggle to get anywhere, in front of me was a pool so I had to go run round it, I thought that if I could get to my room and shut the door that I would be alright, not knowing how powerful it was. The Water was so powerful there was a shop next to me that I got pushed onto. In got me on my bum with my back against the glass, as the whole shop had glass surrounding it and behind it was nothing but the sea.

Join now!

The next thing I new the glass went through and the whole shop was covered in misty black water. It was like being in a washing machine everything was just flying and me, it was like being in a movie. All I could feel was things bashing into me and myself being thrown off everything that was in my way left right and centre, yet I could feel no pain. I could think about is how long I could hold my breath for, I wasn’t sure how long I was under the water for but it felt like forever.
