MY GRAND TURK TRIP by Destini Taylor<\/h2>\r\nOn June the 10th<\/sup> the Grade 6 and Grade 5 classes went on a trip to Grand Turk (our Nation\u2019s Capital); it was the best trip ever!\r\n\r\nFirstly, when we arrived in Grand Turk we squashed into a taxi and drove around the beautiful streets. Firstly we saw the John Glenn Exhibit which was very informative and next we saw the lighthouse which was gorgeous! After this we went out for lunch at very nice restaurant named Mrs. Rankie. We had peas and rice, bbq chicken, ox-tail \u2013 all yummy!\r\n\r\nAfterwards we went on the ATV excursion and saw many cool things like the Bermuda Triangle, jelly fish, sea urchins and the fabulous sites of the beautiful island. Grand Turk is full of salt lakes; it has Limestone Mountains and beautiful breathtaking views! After the ATV ride we said goodbye to our wonderful tour guides and the taxi dropped Grade 5 at the airport and Grade 6 continued to the hotel for more fun!\r\n\r\nWe spent the night in the Osprey Hotel which could not have been nicer! In the morning on June11th my class, Mrs. Hinks and Mrs. Danics went to a wonderful place called The Atrium for breakfast. We had omelets, bagels and fruit salad \u2013 all yummy! Then we went snorkeling at the drop-off (which is 7,000 feet feet.) with a wonderful tour guide named Justin. It was beautiful and an amazing experience! For the afternoon we went on some bikes that we had hired to our lunch spot called The Bohio which was delicious!\r\n
