Day 26
The nasty smuggler had been asleep while the other three smugglers crowded around me shining their torches fascinated by what i was doing. I wanted to cook this bread quickly as i was scared that Bibi would be scared as i was not beside her the moment she woke up. The sailors were getting impatient as they were hungry and wanted to eat my bread. I was grateful that Rashida had brought flour along in cased of emergency.

Day 27
Omar praised me as he ate my bread. The waves are getting bigger as i felt seasick. Rashida said that seasick would only be wore off after a day. Some of the people on the boat were worse than me as they were groaning in pain. I wanted to go Australia so much as it was a good country with laughing people and good government.

Day 28
The engine had stopped. The three smugglers began to stand in front of their cabin with sailors behind them. The chief smuggler said that the price of going to the Australia was wrong as we had to pay 100 dollars more. The smugglers asked us to pay the full price or they threatened to turn back. Omar told me anxiously that he did not have any money to pay for the full price. Just then, it was our turn to pay for the trip. Rashida took out her watch which her father gave her to the smuggler and said that it was for the prices of four people. We were extremely grateful of Rashida.
