Journey around the world by Lara

MY JOURNEY ROUND THE WORLD

My journey round the world started in Egypt. First we stayed in a beach hotel for a few days. Then we travelled by bus to Luxor and we saw many temples and tombs. After that we travelled to the capital town Cairo by sleeper. We visited there Giza pyramids and sphinx, a museum and a perfume store.
Next up we visited London. It has many different things to see. We went to Natural History Museum. We saw many interesting animals and plants there. I also remember the Madame Tussauds Museum. I still have some pictures of me and celebrities. The best thing in London was London Eye. The view was beautiful.
Our journey continued on Cuba, an island in Central America. We stayed in a wonderful hotel. We saw the plantations of sugar cane and tobacco. The most incredible were daily tropic showers. Almost every day was raining, but there was enough hot for swimming in big waves of blue Caribbean sea.
Next stop was Istanbul. There were so many mosques and the biggest one is the Blue Mosque. But I didn’t like it because the smell was awful. I couldn’t breathe. There was an interesting market called Grand Bazar. We spent some time in a Turkish sauna.
Next stop was an island Sicilia. There were many ancient temples. The most famous thing on Sicilia is a volcano called Etna. It is still active and erupts from time to time. We went to one of the craters. It was hot and steamy there.
At last we went to Sri Lanka. We saw so many buddhist temples. The nature on Sri Lanka is very diverse – from rainforest to reach tea plantages and dream sandy beaches. Riding an elephant was one of the craziest things I have ever done. The best was a beach hotel and swimming in big waves.
