Australia!


Many people went out of Malaysia to visit family or friends or just because its a vacation they wanted to go out of the country. For my Christmas break I went to Australia! I've never gone before so I was very excited to go for the very first time! We went to Cairns, Gold Coast and Sydney.

Cairns was the first place we went to there I went to Port Douglas. We were planing on going to the beach but it was Christmas day so everything was closed so we had lunch at Rattle 'n' Hum and had desert at an ice cream shop called Wiked Ice. The second day we were in Cairns we went on a train to a little village not far away. There we went to a Australian zoo that only had Australian animals. So I had a picture taken with a Koala and a Kangaroo. Then we took a tram back to the city. We left the day after that and flew to Brisbane and from there we drove to Gold Coast.

The first day we were in gold coast we went to Sea World and went on some fun rides but you always got wet no matter what. The ride I liked the most was called Jet Rescue, you see every ride has a story to it. In Jet Rescue you have to save the Sea Lions. The ride goes really fast you can't even open your eyes to see whats happening which makes it fun. There is this other ride called the Bermuda Triangle. It is about a boat going into the Bermuda Triangle and finds aliens and it is in water and the thing starts to sink and you get wet but the boat doesn't go under water but the room does which makes it fun. At night we saw Kailee and her family in a strip mall so we had dinner with them. The strip mall was big and nice but it wasn't covered, and in the restaurant we were eating at wasn't covered it only had a little porch that was covered but not many tables could fit there and my sister, Kailee and I were siting outside and it started to rain! We tried to move the table in and luckily it fit. But then there were some umbrellas outside and they started to fall on us and the tables and plates were falling over too. We managed to get through it and fortunately we didn't get hurt, and Kailee and I called it The Natural Disaster.

The day after that Kailee and her family went to Warner Bro.'s Movie World. IT was so much fun! The first ride we went to was called Rio Bravo, it was very fun! We went up about 10 meters off the ground and went backwards for 5 minutes. Then we turned and went down this really steep hill and got very wet. Then we went on roller coasters and went to some other things they had there. After that we went to our hotels to dry off and go to dinner together. This night we decided to go to a covered restaurant so we went to Hard Rock.

On New Year's Eve I went with Kailee's family to Wet 'n' Wild, a theme park which is obviously filled with water slides. We went on many water slides and then went to the beach together. After that we went to a Mexican restaurant called Sayas. After we went down by the beach to see the fireworks at midnight. After that day we drove back to Brisbane and took a flight to Sydney.

The first day we were in Sydney we walked around the city. The next day we went to the Sydney museum and then went back to the hotel. The fourth day we were there we went to The Rock which is the old part of Sydney that hasn't changed since the 1800's. There we bought a lot of stuff. The nest day we went to the Australian museum and to the Sydney Zoo. The last day we were in Australia we went to the art museum and then left to Singapore.

We arrived a Singapore at 10:00pm. So we went to the hotel in the airport and went to bed. the next morning we took a plane at 6:00am to Malaysia and my adventure in Australia had finished.

Wow Alex so detailed! I love it! You make the picture of the Rio Bravo fresh in my mind again! That was sooooo fun! Remember when we screamed so loud we made each other deaf? Haha we went on that loony toons coaster like 6 times and every single time we still screamed! Haha I remember The Natural Disaster. That was so fun at the beach! Hehe the seagul picture. Yea by the way I'm sending you the pictures. I picked some of the best ones. But it was so sad, we were at sea world at the exact same time but we didn't see each other :( my mom fergot her phone so we couldnt call you guys :(. And well I had my phone but I had no money as usual ( grrr why does it seem like I never have money on my phone!) so i couldnt text your dad. Well at least we got to see each other every other day AND night! Remember the " this is how you jump" video? Man that was so funny. Espically when it looks like I'm about to bite your hand. Haha we had soooo much fun together!
