two weeks ago i went to bali and the first week we were there we went white river rafting in the jungle we started of by going down a hill of steps with our life jackets and paddles we reached the bottom by the raging  river  we saw a big blow up yellow boat.  we hopped in the boat well our instructor told us the rules then  he pushed the boat and we were of  thirty minutes later and there was a huge drop our boat almost  went in half, soon we got stuck on a rock. and we had to bounce up and down to make the boat move we were still stuck until a  heap of water crashed into us pushing the boat of the rock. then we ran into the wall and soon stopped at  a waterfall we got to  stand under it as a family and our  photo was taken by our instructor. we got back into the boat and went down the river for an hour until we got to a waterfall and   soon we could jump in the water and it carried us to the end.
