Basket Boating in Vietnam!

I had a scary journey on this basket boat. It went round and round in circles until I was quite dizzy! Halong Bay was fun and I got to climb the rigging! It's not long before I get home now :)

China travels!

In China I needed a new hat because it was so hot. Did you know that over 1,000,000,000 (one billion) people live in China, mostly in the cities which are very polluted. I was allowed to visit the Forbidden City and it looked just like it does in the film, Mulan. I also climbed the Great Wall of China, very sweaty when you are furry and saw the Terracotta Army. To relax I went rafting down the river in the south of China.

Mongolian adventure

I had such fun in Mongolia. Firstly we stayed in a 'ger' which is a round tent. The Mongolian nomadic people stay in them even in the winter when the temperature goes to minus 40 degrees. Can you imagine how cold that is? The best part was riding with on the local ponies. 

On the train across Siberia......

Russia!

I am in Russia and it is really hard to read signs especially on the Metro. (I haven't even managed to find honey in the shops!) I saw a poster that I remember seeing in New Zealand but the writing is different. Can you tell me what it is please? I have visited the Summer Palace in St Petersburg that has 140 fountains and the largest Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow. Today I am getting on a train and I don't get off for 4 days and 4 nights! I get to sleep in the top bunk....... yay!

Glad I didn't live in the 1600's!

This is the Tower of London and it used to be used as a prison! I wonder why the windows are shaped the way they are. I didn't go inside - I was too frightened. Where there is grass used to e a moat. Do you know what a moat is?

London adventure!

I went up in a cable car above the River Thames in London. It was constructed fir the 2012 Olympic Games. I felt a bit queasy because it wobbled a lot. It was fun waving to the people going the other way.
