Why I Like Romania

Filed under: Animals, Europe, Romania — 10 Comments
June 3, 2015

We have been in Romania for nearly a month.

I love the animals here like horses, cows, piglets, chicks, giant rabbits, calves and cranes. They have wild bear that will eat you whole and wolves that live in the woods.

 

I also like the cottages here. They are made of oak and mud to use like cement. The thick layer of mud keeps them insulated so they are warm in winter and cool in summer. It gets to minus 25 degrees Celsius, that is the coldest. In summer it is hottest, it is about 28 degrees Celsius now.

Romania is a 24 hour drive from London and is next to Turkey and Bulgaria. Ukraine is to the north and we went there for a walk. Romania is in Europe but they don’t use Euros for money, they use Lei.

I really like it here in Romania.

Bad Cruises

Filed under: Uncategorized — 6 Comments

Some cruises are good, but some are very bad.

I have been on a very bad cruise. At breakfast there was sloppy eggs and some very bad sausages, they looked plastic.

But the cheeses weren’t bad.

At dinner it wasn’t that bad, but we had pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza.

There was nothing to drink but water.

At breakfast there was very sweet juice drinks.

The pool was salt water and it stang my eyes.

The kids club was so, so bad. They did nothing for people my age. They had an X box and Wii, that was the only think I liked but we could only use it for half an hour at certain times.

I want to go on a Norwegian cruise again, but not on the bad one.

We visited some countries, Elephanta caves were good, but hot. Mostly we just saw dock yards.??????????????????????

My Visit to Turkey. The Blue Mosque

Inside the blue mosque istanbul turkey

Inside the mosque you can see the prayer niche and big stair thing.

 

I went to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul and it was very nice. It was so big and so pretty and the inside was packed with visitors. All the ladies have to wear something on their heads to show respect and the men had to have long trousers. Everybody had to take their shoes off and carry them in a plastic bag. My mum carried my shoes because she is the best!

We had to take the shoes off because the carpet has to be clean for the people who pray there. The inside was beautiful to look at and the tiles have pictures. A lot of the tiles were blue because they thought it was a powerful  colour. The real name of the mosque is The Sultan Ahmet mosque, it is on Sultan Ahmet square near Hagia Sophia.

Sultan Ahmet Square in snow

The rarest two animals ever. The white spotted Boo and his white spotted brother. Grrrrr! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Inside the mosque we saw a big stair case that the imam climbs to talk to the people, it is called a minbar.

The mihrab is the prayer niche to bounce the sound back. The columns were called elephant feet columns because they were big and strong to support the building.

Cat in Turkey

Fat cats are everywhere in Turkey. LOL!!

This is the first story I have ever written. I hope you like it.

cyber man drawing

 

The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to open a cyber door and escape.

Outside the head cyber guard was shut down by the sonic waves.

The cyber guard was waking up.

The doctor ran to the TARDIS before leaving a bomb behind.

The TARDIS disappeared and the bomb exploded!!

The cyber threat was gone.

 

 

This is to prove I wrote it!

The London Aquarium

I loved the London aquarium, there is such lovely stuff there.

I loved the penguins, I named a penguin Flopster, he was cute.

That is a fake whale skeleton by the way, but it looked really realistic. It was there in the aquarium to look good and give the fish something to swim around.

It was awesome there, I had lots of fun.

The best part of the aquarium was the big sharks and walking above them in the tank on glass. There were lots of really big rays too.

I recommend going to London Aquarium, it is near the London Eye. We went on that too and saw the Shard. It was really fun up there.

Truffle Hunting in Umbria

truffles in Umbria

I went truffle hunting in Umbria. Umbria is in the middle of Italy,  it has hills and countryside. Nearly all of Umbria is covered in farms. They grow, olives, tomatoes, courgettes, squash, pumpkins, potatoes, lettuce, fruit and herbs.

The truffles grow wild in the woods. Sometimes you can find really big truffles. You use a dog to sniff them out, they grow under ground they are a fungus like mushrooms. They are very expensive and they taste yum. We ate them on pasta and in salami and in balsamic vinegar and sauces.

We brought our truffles home for Dad, for his birthday. They are in the freezer.

This is the best cruise ever!!!

We came from Miami in the USA to Spain on Norwegian Epic.

On the Norwegian Epic there was an ice bar.

I liked the water slides and the pools were freezing but there was a hot tub to warm up.

On the Norwegian Epic we saw dolphins and whales.

On the Norwegian Epic there was a kids’ club, it was great.

The food was not bad.

I had caviar.

I like cruises a lot, I want to go on another one, one day.

Coatis in Guatemala

Coatis in Guatemala

A coati in Guatemala

There is lots of wildlife in Guatemala.

Yesterday I saw lots of coatis in the sub-tropical rain forest in Guatemala.

I called a coatemundi Cutey and I called another Fluffy.

The babies were very adorable.

The females live in groups with the babies but the males leave the group when they are 3 years old. This is a male.

They are mammals and they are related to the racoon. They eat everything except sticks. They live in the trees and on the ground. When they are frightened they climb into the trees and jump down to disappear. We thought they were monkeys up in the trees. We saw spider monkeys and a tarantula tree too.
