My Favourite Things About the Trip

A list of my favourite things while I was on holiday:

1. Paris, Disneyland. At Disneyland we went on a really big roller coaster. The whole family loved it. We also got to see the Mona Lisa.

2. London. We went to a really big aquarium. There were really big sharks fish.

3. Scotland. Caravanning. We went caravanning round Scotland.

4. Singapore. I liked playing Minecraft with our Singapore cousins. 

5. Canal boat. I liked sitting on the roof of the Canal boat.

6.  South Downs Way. I liked walking in the front with dad.

Some things that I have been doing and my thoughts:

Catacombes: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Skeleton heads. The Catacombes has lots of skeleton heads in it. 6,000,000 heads. It's true.


Louvre Art gallery: Not my cup of tea but the rest of the family enjoyed it.

Children's technology museum: the little kids push and shove so you never get a very long turn on anything.

Food: the food is yummy but I like NZ food better. But it do like their French bread.

Paris overall: Paris is very loud at night. But is a very nice place overall.

Enjoying Paris

Hi - here some things to tell you after 3 days in Paris:                                                                                            
The smells: pee and poo -  from dogs - what rude animals. The smell of the bakery - I like it.

The sights (look): crowded, very crowded as people go to work. Apart from that very pretty especially the statues an buildings

The tastes: mmmm nom nom - pain au chocolate. Yuck smokers

The feels (touch): dad tells me not to touch anything!  

The sounds: very loud at night, but the buskers in the Metro sound brilliant.

Things we have done in the past few days.

We meet Ruth in the Edinburgh air port Ruth is my great aunt.We flew to Paris at 1pm and got there at 4pm.

I slept the whole time :( missed all the good views. today was our first full day in Paris. Today we did lots of walking we went and saw the Eiffel tower. Later we are going to walk as high as we can up the Eiffel tower.

From the West to the East

Glen Affric and Loch Ness: Sadlly we didn't see the Loch Ness Monster but we saw the lake that it lies in. (if it is true)

Culloden Battlefield: Can't remember ?????????? Mum just told me it was a fight between the Scots and the English. They used to fight a lot. In this fight the English won big time because they were better organised, had more men and were well rested and fed. We have seen a lot of memorials about the fights.

Whisky Tasting: the parents got to taste the whisky but we got to taste WATER. How sad I really wanted some whisky.

Castles: We  went to lot of castles. They were all (cool). One was called a fairy land castles. The fairy land castle was pink.

The drive to Edinburgh: I slept some of it and even missed the huge Forth Bridge. We stopped for coffee and mum said it was the worst coffee she had ever had.

E here - Scotland is a land of two halves: West and East.

The West is: lots of midges, cold (had to wear long johns), wet, windy, promise of red squirrels
The East is: fewer midges, warm (hot), dry, not so much wind, more like NZ, still promise of red squirrels

End of the first week in scotland

Yesterday we went on a glass bottom bout. You're probably thinking the floor is glass but it's not. They're little holes that you can look through. On the way back it got to steer the boat. it was just like an optimist but with no sail :( how sad. I drove it into the marina birth with a little help from the guide guy. After that we went to the beach I brought the rubber MALLET of DOOM doom doom. I made castles then smashed them with the MALLET. On the way back I smashed someone else's sand castle. Hope they're not reading.

We had to do our homework today. Maths.
