BEFORE: Soon Nile Room is going on a special bus trip to the Port. We are leaving at 9:30 am and coming back at 11:30 am. All kids are required to stay inside the bus at all times. We think that is because it is very dangerous. Cranes will be picking up the containers and moving them around.
Also if we stay on the bus we won't get lost.
Drew found the "expected arrivals" from the weather page of the newspaper. Otis read out a ship name -The Spirit of Endurance which weighs 7464 tonnes! It is loading and unloading containers. We might see it when we are there!
AFTER: We are back from the port. At the end of the trip we all got a squishy ball of the world.
