The Blowholes in Tahiti.




The Blowholes in Tahiti.

It was a hot day in Tahiti and we drove around the island to site-see. One of the stops we were to see were blowholes. There you will see a blowhole when a massive wave comes up and hits the sides of the rocks, a huge spray of salty sea water emerging out of the hole.

While going up the stairs I could see a hole on the side of the road, I was wondering what it was then surprisingly a big spray of water came out of the hole. ”WOW” Said my Uncle Kalo. Leaning over the railing of the rocks, there was another huge blowhole. A humongous wave came up and smashed against the rocks, making a huge splash that reached the road.The blowhole let out a big spray of nice, cold water.

Once the spray had cleared you could see crabs the size of rocks and little fish wriggling and jumping all over the place.“They look like Leaches!” I shouted with amazement. My Aunty Leonie and Uncle Kalo were waiting for another big wave. Looking around the rocks, I saw two crabs fighting, trying to get past one another.

“ Time to leave” says my Papa. I took one last look at the view and walked back to the bus. We drove away from the blowholes and went to the next destination.
