Day 5, The Beach & Mama's Shopping Day!

Today we woke up early to go to the beach. After a hearty breakfast, we walked to the beach. It was early, so not many people were at the beach. Even though the sun was hot, the water was freezing cold.

Papa, Izza and I went to play in the sea. Ilya kept crying whenever she was in the water. Then we made a sand-mermaid out of Izza. It was very hard and fun to make.

After that, we went to the hotel to wash up first. Then we went to the bus stop to take a bus to Harbour Town. After going around Harbour Town, buying stuff here and there, Mama wanted to go to Pacific Fair. So we took another bus to Pacific Fair. It took about 25 minutes to reach there. It was raining by then. There, we bought more stuff.

After nearly 5pm we went back. We ate at a Chinese-Muslim restaurant to eat. It was scrumptious!!

Then we went to the Police Academy Stunt Show. It was funny and dangerous. The ending was a huge explosion.Then we went to the Gotham City Cafe to eat. And again, it was fish and chips again.

After that we went on the Scooby-Doo Coaster Ride. When we finished, I ended up crying. Then we rode the bumper cars.




Then we went to the Kids WB! Fun Zone.We went on the RailRoad ride, Carousel, Tijuana Taxis, the River Ride and the Road Runner Roller Coaster.

Day 3 ... SeaWorld!!

Went to SeaWorld today. There were lots of rides there but I didn't want to go on them because they were scary. We walked all the way to Sesame Street Beach to watch the show at 10.15 AM. Then Ilya, Izza and me went on the kid rides.

After that we went to the Fish Detectives Sea Lion Show. They were really funny. When I went out, I slipped and got an open wound. There was a lot of blood. Mama had to put two bandages on it. Then Mama, Papa, Izza and Ilya went on the SeaWorld Eye.

Then we went to see Planet SOS in 4D. The effects looked and felt real. It was fun. Izza got scared of some of the effects. First we went to the Shark Bay. there were a lot of sharks there.
Then we watched the dolphin show. After that we rode the cable car to the main entrance.

After another dinner at Maharani's we went to our hotel to rest.

2nd day at Australia

Today we went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. The minibus trip took 15 minutes. There were lots of animals there such as dingoes, lorikeets, pelican, eels and many others.

When we reached the kangaroo area, Papa bought some kangaroo food for the kangaroos. Izza, Ilya, Papa and Mama fed the kangaroos while I took the pictures.

After that, we went to the Crocodile Wetlands.Mama bought a hat for me and plush toys for Izza and Ilya. Then we went on a miniature train ride just for fun.

Then we went to Pacific Fair but Mama decided to go to Carrara Markets.We went around the hundred shops looking for things to buy and Mama got her beads. At 4pm, we waited for our travel guide to come pick us up.

There was no dinner at Maharani's tonight so Papa bought some fish and chips for me and kebabs for the others. Man! There was a lot of fries in the fish and chips.

Journey To Brisbane, Australia

The plane ride was very long. 7 Hours!

When we got off we went through a long line and various checks. After that we waited for the Door2Door driver to arrive. Door2Door is company that transports people from their doors to their destination. The minibus journey itself took 1h 30 minutes to reach Gold Coast. Our hotel was at Surfers Paradise named Courtyard Marriott.

When we arrived, we went straight to our room and rested for a while . We were supposed to go to Carrara Markets but we reached Surfers Paradise late. So Mama decided to go around the city's shops.

At night, Izza and I had a room together to sleep in. She was annoying as she kept snoring in the night.

My new bike

Woohoo! I finally got my own bike! Now Ilya won't be irritated when I ride on her bike anymore. Atok gave it to me as an early present for my birthday.It is blue and 30 inch tall while Izza's bike is 22 inch tall.I named it Hot Shot.

Both of us are arguing about whose bike is better.I said mine was better but Izza had a different opinion.

Now Izza and me are racing each other at the car park while Ilya is slowly cycling around the car park and playing ball with my father.

P5 Camp Rules!

The P5 Camp was awesome!

We had lots of fun there.I was in group 5.I had to stay in a dormitory with other people.I wanted to sleep in a bed, not in a bunk. I guess it was just part of the camp. We played abseiling and rock climbing. Rock climbing was challenging and fun. So was abseiling.

While we played abseiling, others played the flying fox.There was also the rock wall. It was very hard to climb over the rock wall but our group helped each other up the rock wall.It was also very hard to push the heavyweights up.

There was also a hike to the summit of the Bukit Timah.It took us 2 1/2 hours to reach the top while it took us 1 1/2 hours to descend.We managed to reach the top.The view on top was beautiful.

I hope the next year P5's will like the camp.
