Hello room 2 and the lovely Mrs Dorizac!! I hope everyone is well back at Waiau pa. Time has past quite quickly so I thought I'd share with you all where I have visited so far :)

﻿﻿﻿Before my overseas trip. My sister got married in Fiji. For 10 days My family and I spent time there enjoying the beautiful hot sun and beach at Plantation Island. Very hot weather, reaching 30 degrees every day!



SPAIN The first place I explored was Spain. I visited the city Barcelona, it's well known for it's architecture by Antoni Gaudi who designed the Sagrada Familia which is a temple that is still being developed since 1883 and won't be expected to be finished until the year 2020/30. We then went to Pamplona, where the festival of running with the bulls takes place. I definitely did not run with them!  LONDON After Spain I took a plane ride to London. I enjoyed London a lot as it had very good tea! Mrs Dorizac will be pleased to know that I conquered the underground rail. The sights were endless here, I saw the Buckingham palace (no queen or Kate and Wills), Changing of the Queens guards, Westminister abbey, Big ben tower, Tower of London, Tower bridge, London bridge, London eye, Trafalgar square (where the Harry Potter premiere was held), St Pauls cathedral, British museum, the national gallery of art, Hyde park and of course Harrods. PARIS From London to Paris I took a train that went under the English channel for maybe about an hour. I found this very fascinating! Miss Young adored Paris. "Beautiful sights!" Here I saw the Eiffel tower, the Louvre (where the famous painting of Mona Lisa is held), Arc de triomphe and the Palace of Versailles. I also ate snails and frogs legs, to my surprise they are really good. AMSTERDAM Next was Amsterdam. which is a city in the Netherlands. Here they speak Dutch, I found this place very busy and compact. It has many canals going through it and so many people ride bikes. Here I visited Madame Tussuads wax museum and saw lots of life size wax figurines of famous people. To name a couple Lady gaga, Justin Bieber, Rob Pattinson and Beyonce. GERMANY In Germany, I have visited many places. The first being the capital city of Berlin then to Munich where I did a bike tour, followed by Berchtesgaden. Berchtesgaden reminded me of Queenstown in NZ as it was surrounded by mountains and it was beautiful and green. I also visited a salt mine which was exciting but made me nervous at the same time being so far under the ground. AUSTRIA In Austria I visited Salzburg where the movie "the sound of music" was filmed. Followed by a 2 hour train ride to Vienna. Because Austria is known for it's weinerschnitzel (bread crumbed pork/veal) I had a very tasty pork one in Vienna.

Budapest was a very interesting city as it is divided into two parts joint together by beautiful bridges. On one side it is called Buda and on the other side it is Pest.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 24px;">ITALY <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I have been to many places in Italy now, and I think it is my favourite country so far. I have explored Florence (A very busy city in Tuscany), Rome (The capital city of Italy and home to the Colosseum, Vatican city (where the the Pope lives), and St Peter's basilica), Sorrento (A small beach town near the South of Italy), Cinque Terre (Where 5 fishing villages are built on the cliff side). And Italy definitely has delicious pasta, pizza and gelato. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 24px;">GREECE <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The first place I visited in Greece was Athens (Capital) where I visited the famous ruins such as the Acropolis, followed by the Parthenon and the temple of Olympian Zeus. Over two weeks I visited 3 Greek islands Ios, Crete and Santorini. I did alot of swimming and making sure I made most of the sun. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 24px;">TURKEY <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I begun in Istanbul (Capital of Turkey) before setting out exploring the rest of the country. I visited Cappadocia where I had a hot air balloon ride, Ephesus which use to be a Roman city ,and Gallipoli where ANZAC soldiers fought in World War One against Turkey.
