Going on Holiday

• I stayed in a hotel near the airport so I would
  not be late for the flight.
• The airport was very busy and we had to wait a
  long time before we got on the aeroplane. I sat
  on a table and had a cup of coffee.
• The aeroplane was a Jumbo Jet and it flew very
  high.

3
We flew over England and some sea until we
reached Sweden. Soon we were over Russia. We flew
across Asia for longer than a school day. Then we
crossed some more sea and landed in Japan.

Tokyo, Japan

• When we got to Japan it was Wednesday, I was
  tired because I was too excited to sleep on the
  plane.
• I saw Mount Fuji from the window of the Jumbo
  Jet.
• It was hot in Japan. We had to wait for a fast
  train to take us into Tokyo. Mr Viner carried me.

5
Tokyo, Japan

• Tokyo is the capital city of Japan. It is very
  big bigger than London. Mr and Ms Viner took me
  to a Japanese restaurant where everyone took
  their shoes off and sat on the floor to eat. We
  had to use chopsticks instead of a knife and
  fork. The Japanese eat a lot of fish!
• Our hotel was very high

6
Tokyo, Japan
Today we visited a very old Buddhist temple. Most
Japanese people are Buddhists and I saw some
monks, all dressed in blue.
7
After Japan we flew to Brisbane in Australia
8
Gold Coast, Australia

• Now we are in Australia. It is a massive country.
  We landed in Brisbane and then went on a train up
  the coast where we took a boat to Fraser Island.
  There are lots of animals and birds on the
  island. We went on a boat to watch whales and
  dolphins.

Fraser Island
10
We flew south to the big city of Sydney. It was
very exciting. I saw the famous Sidney Harbour
Bridge and the Sidney Opera House.
11
We flew south to the island of Tasmania.
12
Tasmania

• Tasmania is Australia's smallest state but it
  seemed a big place to me. It took nearly four
  hours to drive from Launceston at one end to
  Hobart at the other. Mr Viner took me to meet
  some Australian animals and we went to Cradle
  Mountain in the snow. It was very cold in
  Tasmania because our summer is Australia's
  winter.

13
I made some friends at Margate School, which is
near Hobart. They took my photograph with them.
14
Mr and Ms Viner flew to Ayres Rock but the
airline left me in Melbourne and I did not get
there until the next day.
15
Red Centre

• I saw Uluru - a big red rock in the desert that
  important to the native Australians. It was very
  hot in the desert.

16
We flew to the top end of Australia, to the city
of Darwin.
17
Darwin, Australia

• Darwin is very hot. They do not have four seasons
  like we do they have the dry season and the wet
  season. At the moment it is the wet season.
• On Thursday we drove a long way to Kakadu
  National Park where I saw lots of Kangaroos and
  brightly coloured birds. I also saw some
  crocodiles. They were very big and very scary.

18
We flew to Singapore, which is near China. Lots
of the people are Chinese, some are Malayan and
some are from India.
19
Singapore

• Like Darwin there are only two seasons. It was
  the wet season and it rained a lot, although it
  was very hot. Singapore is an Island and its name
  means Lion Island. I saw a big statue of a beast
  called the Merlion.

20
After seeing Singapore we came home. The flight
took all night.
