Mexico travel.


It was early morning. The blistering sun gazed down as I finished guzzling down the various foods available. The glistening clear blue sea gently crashing against the shore, playing a game with the hyped up children trying to jump over the waves. The exotic lizards marching around searching for the shade. Along with the wild monkeys climbing around posing, as like celebrities, whilst everyone takes their picture.
I looked around to see everyone having gigantic droplets gushing down their face. The hotel staff jumping around trying to catch the attention of the out tourists making the most of the weather. You could see the bar men making numerous multi-coloured cocktails, doing their fancy tricks to attract the appetites of the excitable customers, hoping to get extra tips.
I was sizzling in the scorching beam of the Mexico sun, trying to balance out my time between the shade and the sun, needing a tan of course. All the sunbeds were taken; The boiling sand scolding my feet as I stomped around searching for somewhere to lay on the over crowded beach. The beach from afar looked infested with ants, no sand to be seen! So many people wanting the Mexican glow.
As I traipsed around I kept getting bombarded with the locals trying to sell their 'must have' items, I could see a bed in the distance. I started to speed up.  I got to the bed, settled down and started relaxing. Heaven.
Just as I got comfortable, the weather changed. Without warning the sun hid behind clouds and was completely out of sight. The calm sea livened up and the wind started to roar. Before long it started crashing down with rain, huge pellets descended from the sky. The excitable faces turned to gloom within seconds. Everyone frantically rushed inside. The whole time I spent trying to find a sunbed and now I had to leave it.  At least it cooled down!
After about five minutes, it all stopped. It was like it never happened. No puddles. No raindrops. Unbelievable.

  1. A descriptive piece of writing - good variation of sentence structures and thoughtful use of verbs and adjectives. Promising work.
