We walked along the narrow track to the boats. We took a canoe trip on the river with a local guide. I sat next to my little sister. It was cool in the canoe because the branches of the trees hung over the river. The trip ended with a drink at the Bush Bar. We ate lunch in a café near the beach. Then we walked around Prince Rupert Island. It was hot, so we sat under some trees.

CR You could deliver the message first in Creole as if the speaker were speaking to a local friend and then in Standard English, as if she were speaking to a visitor from another country.
