a 9 year old visited the islands, i asked her to write a bangka story, over a year later, she shares this with me.

Bohol Pump Boat Ride

During the boat ride it was very humid. I was sweating badly.We would often see dolphins in a straight line. Our guide told us that they were in a line because it wasn’t season.He said they would be scattered.  When i look  down from the boat i would see sea urchins and colorful starfish. When i take out a starfish they would stick out little arms to feel for the water. The arms felt very soft.We stopped at a island called Pungtud Island.They had little tents that sold food and people walking around selling fruit and unusual  shells.
