Abseiling at Motu Moana

As I was staggering up the stairs, my legs were shaking, I gaze down upon one of the openings, I saw Jonathan staring up at me. He looks like an ant from up here. <span style="color: #0070ef; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;"> I am wondering when these tiring stairs would end. I stagger up the stairs, I become more scared. I reached the top. Ben and I are fighting over who is going down first. <span style="color: #0070ef; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;"> The instructor is waiting..... I am getting awfully nervous. The instructor points at me.... I stand up, trembling, I put on the safety rope. She tells me what to do. <span style="color: #0070ef; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;"> The sun's shining directly into my eyes, it was blinding. As I start, I can't see the slope... I slip off and crash knee-first into the wall. I began going down. My harness was too tight. <span style="color: #0070ef; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;"> My waist is stinging.

<span style="color: #f906cf; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;">By the time I get the hang of it, I already clear a quarter of the tower. Then suddenly..... I feel this massive sting in my finger... my thumb gets caught in the pulley. I let go of the rope <span style="color: #f906cf; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;">and I start to plummet down. I grab the rope quickly and slowed my speed. My knee is probably bruised from all the crashing.

<span style="color: #fa0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;">I get up to halfway and I just want to get it over. My waist is aching like I won't be able to walk. I am barely grasping onto the rope. I am just letting it slide through my hand. <span style="color: #fa0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;">I get up to the green part, I start kicking off the wall and I fall on the ground. Nicola's mum help me take-off the ropes. With a sigh of relief, I check <span style="color: #fa0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;">my waist for any cuts, fortunately there were none.

<span style="color: #00e3fa; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 110%;">I have done it! I have conquered the giant beast!
