Go-karting

Written by S

On Wednesday after school one of the girls in my class and I went go-karting! After school I went with her to her house, had spaghetti for lunch, and then her mother drove us to the go-kart course. When we got there we bought the tickets then the guy there gave us special hats to put on our heads so that when we put on the helmets we wouldn't get lice or something. They were disposable hats.

I got a yellow helmet. The man who was taking care of the go-karts and who would help people when they got stuck in the corner or something taught us how to use the karts. He spoke in German and I understood all the directions and what each of the things would do.

I drove the go-kart very carefully out onto the course. Then I went wild, probably faster than the speed limit, racing against my friend and her mother. Since Swiss people are very competitive, I only won once. The time I won was the last time around when it was just me and my friend. I managed to pass her one time after she passed me on the only part that was good for passing people. We had some ice cream then left.

When we got back to my friend's house she and I went on a bike ride. We rode around then went to my house. We played memory and then returned the bikes. I hung around for a few minutes and then got a ride home because my friend doesn't live very close.
