My Trip to Assinie Island in the Ivory Coast
Last year when I graduated from high school, I decided to go on a 3-day vacation with 5 of my friends to a place in my country, The Ivory Coast, called “Assinie." It’s an island between the sea and a lake. The color of the sea is blue, and the color of the lake is grey or kind of dark. Although the two waters touch, they don’t mix. It seems like an unusual situation.
First, we all climbed into a car. Only one of us was 18 and had a driver’s license, so he did the driving. It was about a 2-hour drive to where we would take a boat to the island, and during the trip, we played and sang songs, had fun and stopped to eat.
On arrival at the island, we partook in a challenge which consisted of going 2 days straight without sleeping. When we saw someone sleeping, we slapped this person in the face and filmed it. It was a lot of fun, but also a little bit painful. In fact, to avoid getting slapped, I locked myself in the bathroom, so I could get a little sleep. However, I eventually got slapped twice, but it was alright because I was able to return the slaps on the last night.
In addition to this extremely enjoyable, but painful game, we also had many other activities during our stay like playing soccer in the sand, riding jet skis and swimming. Everything was extremely enjoyable. We all had a great time, and I’ll have memories of this trip for years to come.
