Our day started on Orchard Island to the sound of a (Tomás) phone alarm. Some people woke on the island as other people were only going to bed.
Gavin was missing his coffee and shouted at us to get up, again. We had cereal bars for our breakfast on the island and then took down our shelters so we would leave no trace. We waited for the boats to come and collect us and while we waited one slacker was still asleep. His name was Ronan.
We packed everything onto the boats, the scouts went first so we were first back to the site. When we docked the boats Gavin ran to get his precious coffee.
When we were back onsite the leaders had cooked us sausages and rashers which were really nice so this was our lunch. We then played our last game of UNO with Emer before she went home and goes on her holiday to Spain and her mum had chats with the leaders.
Then in the afternoon we went on our patrol hike to Boyle Town. In Boyle we discovered Supervalu and went to a park and sat and talked about camp. We also bought a new board game called pub quiz and said that this would be for everyone in the group to play with.
When we came back to site we were told to start getting ready for dinner so we put the fires on and started to boil the water for the pasta but we soon figured out it was chicken burgers and waffles and there was no pasta. We’re not sure who told us it was pasta for dinner though.
After dinner a few of us went on an adventure to the bottom of the site to the big green building to find a fridge and some couches. We played soccer for ages and when we came back we found ourselves signed up to the pub quiz game that we bought earlier. Our team won!
We’re going to bed early tonight as everyone is really tired and we’ve been told we’re getting up early tomorrow to go surfing.
