I think that this rule is fair. Why I think that is because if people over fish, of course there won't be enough fish in that area. More people will want to fish there but can't. Fish are also quite important for people too.

SLJ Picture Perfect

Week: 2
Day: 4
Activity: 3
I chose selfie #3 here is my short story about it.

"Almost there..." I reassured myself. I was climbing a wall to take a selfie. I was in Venice and I was taking a selfie of myself with the beautiful canals and houses in the background. It would make a great picture to hang on the wall when I got home. "And..." I quickly put on my biggest smile. 'Click' "Done".  As quick as lightning, I sprang of the wall with my phone tight in my hand. I am definitely coming back here, I thought to myself. While smiling, I checked the photo to make sure it was perfect then started the short walk back to my hotel.

SLJ Midnight zone

Week: 2
Day: 3
Activity: 3

Adults can carry 25 kg so if I count in 25's, like this, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450 that tells I would need 18 adults.
Children can carry 15 kg so if I count in 15's from where I left off there would need to be 3 children. 465, 480, 495
There is 5 kg left. If I had done it all with adults, you would need 20 adults but I used some children.

SLJ Stranger than fiction

Week: 2
Day: 2
Activity: 3
The 2 plants that I picked are the Corpse Flower and the Welwitschia mirabilis. They don't have many things in common but there are lots of differences like the Welwitschia mirabilis has males and females and can live from 500 to 1,500 years old. The Corpse Flower is protected and only blooms every 40 years.

Day: 1
Activity: 2

Here are my 3 people I would like to have on my Support Crew.
On my Support Crew I would have...
1. Dad
Because he is strong, fast and encouraging.

2. Mum
Because she is supportive and always wants me to try new things.

3. Caitlyn
Because she can be loud when she wants, so she would be great at cheering me on.

If I could take a fourth it would Zac because he is also very loud.
