I spent one week on a canal boat on the Canal Du Midi. Our boat was called Speedy Gonzales. We went through over 30 locks, we even went through a 7 lock staircase, it took a long time. We saw lots of ducks and even an otter. During the afternoon we pulled up at the canal bank, and spent the night there. It was very scenic. At night we played pontoon, we even had a competition. My time on the canal boat was lots of fun! [View Full Entry]

In Rome I saw lots of very old buildings. We walked all over the city three days in a row. We queued up to go in to the Vatican Museum. There are lots of great paintings everywhere especially on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. I saw St Peters church and walked up the very steep spiral staircase to the top dome of the church. It was a great view from up there. I also saw the Colosseum where the gladiators used to fight to the death., and the Roman Forum which is the ruins of old Roman towns which have [View Full Entry]

My favourite food in Paris is baguettes and ham. You can eat baguettes for breakfast, lunch and tea. They also have real milk and very nice yoghurt. We have been staying in MontMartre, the streets here are narrow and have cobblestones. Up on the big hill near where we are staying is the Sacre Coeur church, we go up there in the evening and have a picnic tea and listen to the buskers. My favourite place to see was the Eiffel Tower. It is very tall. We walked up 670 steps on the way up and 670 steps on the way [View Full Entry]

We arrived in China. China was great, China has chopsticks like Japan but they drive on different sides of the road. While in Beijing we went to The Great Wall Of China, we walked along it for a couple of hours. It had lots and lots of steps, I got very tired. We went on a chairlift to get up there and back.

We have arrived at Fuji-Hakone guest house. We went on a cable car and ropeway up to see Mt Fuji. It was freezing near the mountain. It looked beautiful, it was big. We also went on a pirate ship around Lake Ashi. The next day it was very cold and wet, so we went to the hot springs. I went in a chocolate, coffee,and wine bath. We also went in the dead sea spa. I didn't stay in long because the salt made my skin sore and red. When we left Hakone we went on the bullet train.It goes very fast [View Full Entry]
