Singapore

Hi guys,

Today at 9:15 pm we fly out of Singapore.

It's a 8 hour flight and we arrive in Brisbane at 6:15 am.

I can't wait to see everyone but I am also sad to see this trip end.

Happy birthday to Sharnee for tomorrow, I will be thinking of you on the 5 hour drive from Brisbane to Bundy.

See you all on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dad tried a Singapore sling he says it was like a lolly.

Last night we went to gardens by the bay which Cardno helped design.

It was amazing watching the light show.

Flying

Hi guys,

Yesterday we arrived in Singapore at 6:30am after a 13 hour flight from Paris.

On Tuesday we got up at 6:00 am and caught a taxi at 7:30 to the airport.

Our flight took off at lunch time.

Right now my brain is all messed up.

Our hotel is awesome and right now we are having brekkie by the pool on the 8th storey.

Here are some pics of us on the Eiffel Tower.

We took the lift up to the second floor and then to the top, it was AMAZING.

The first floor was under construction so we couldn't stop there.

Libby, me and Dad took the stairs down and Mum and Rohan met us there.

Paris

Hi guys,

We've been in Paris now since the 10th and it has been amazing, we can walk to the Eiffel Tower from our apartment and last night we watched light up!  On Saturday we went to the Luxemburg gardens.Yesterday we saw the arch de triumph, we tried to enter the Louvre and muse de orsay but the ques were so long we couldn't even see where they ended, so before we left we looked around the gardens at the Louvre. Then we caught a boat to the toilerie gardens and Libby and I made some phosills. Today at Midday we are going to climb the Eiffel Tower ( I will be thinking of you Maddy ). This morning mum went out to buy bread for breakfast and all of the shops were closed, on a Monday morning, but on the weekend the shops are open. It doesn't make sense to me. Anyway here are some pictures. From Kitty cat.

P.s. For dinner last night I had snails at a little cafe on Saint Louis Island, I would have eaten all of them but I had to give the rest of the family a try, oh and they don't taste like chicken, more like mushrooms.

I also got my portrait done by a street artist.

My giant pom pom

Hi guys,

While we've been travelling I've been making a giant pom pom and today I finally finished it.

If you look at the pictures I took you can see how big it really is beacause I put it next to my iPod shuffle. That would be a good project for the knitting girls, see who can make the biggest pom pom.

Foot fishing

Yesterday we went on a day trip to the golan and one of the places we saw was a really nice natural pool filled with cleaner fish. We took our shoes off and put our feet in.

It felt so nice, it was like the fish were tickling you when actually they're biting the dead skin off of your feet and eating it. As soon as you put you're feet in heaps of fish swarm around you and start nibbling. We sat there for ages relaxing. We saw in Singapore a fish spa where you pay heaps of money to do something like this but we got it for free with a much better view than staring at an ugly wall in a shop.

Ein Gedi

Hi guys,

From Thursday to Saturday we were in a Ein Gedi.

We went with some of our other family from Israel and had heaps of fun.

We stayed in cabins with a view of the desert and the Dead Sea.

On our way there we went to the Jordan river and put our hands in it.

On Friday we went on a big walk through the desert and found a beautiful waterfall.

We got changed into our swimmers and jumped in, it felt amazing.

On Saturday we went to the Dead Sea for a swim.

It felt so oily and on the shore there were mounds of rock salt.

Swimming in the sea was amazing because you just float without any effort.

About twenty years ago my parents went to the Dead Sea and it was a lot bigger and a lot less salty because every year the Dead Sea goes down 1 metre but it is the same amount of salt.

On our drive back on Saturday we saw the coloured sands, I found a bowl shaped rock and some red ochre and used some of our water to make paint out of it.

We also found some petrified trees which are trees that lived millions of years ago that went through conditions so harsh it changed itseft into rock!!!!

Here are some pictures.

BTW it was so hot in the desert.

Happy birthday Elmo

Hi guys,

I wanted to say that today is ElMo's birthday.

I hope you have a great time, I will be thinking of you.

I hope that the moving operation is going smoothly.

P.s. Being in Israel has been heaps of fun.

My safta ( that means grandma in Hebrew ) has three cats and they are absolutely adorable.

I've met my little cousins Yair and Jonathan and lots of other family and friends.

School holidays

Hi guys,

I know it's probably like midnight in Aus right now but I wanted to say that I hope you guys had fun on rewards day and that I hope you all have a fantastic September holiday.

Missing you heaps from Kitty cat.🐱 😃 

Tenby

Yesterday we went on a day trip to Tenby.

It was a long drive but it was worth it in the end to see all of the beautiful castles and beaches.

Before we started our trip we watched an episode of grand designs where they turned an old boat shed into a house. We thought it was amazing so we decided to go and see it while we were in Tenby.

Dad said that he thought no one was living in it and they had just built it for show, but I think he went a bit loopy yesterday because he also thought he saw a seal when it was actually just a dog swimming.😃🐶

Here are some pictures.

Yesterday we went for a walk along south bank.

 We saw the London eye, it was amazing and huge.

We also saw a skate park there, it was the oldest skate park in London and it was covered in graffiti.

It looked amazing!!!

Cardiff

14/09/2013

Today we arrived in Cardiff.

After we settled into our apartment we went out for a walk across the river,

As we were walking we came along this big tree surrounded by all sorts of chairs tables and bits and bobs filled with plants and fruit and veg.

It was absolutely beautiful.

We looked around and got some ideas for our garden.

Here are some of the pictures that I took.

London

10/09/2013

Yesterday we left Singapore at 9:30am and arrived 13 hours later in London at 3:30pm. We had a safe flight and on our way to our apartment we went past Buckingham palace, Big Ben, the London eye and the natural history museum. Our taxi driver asked us where we were from and we said Australia, we told him about all of the dangerous animals that live in Aus and he said he would never go there because he was too scared. Right now it is 5:00am and in Aus it is 2:40pm! Hello jet lag.From kitty cat.
