Goreme

Travel

Me and mum arrived at Goreme at 3pm it only took one hour on a plane from Istanbul. 

The city 

Me and mum were impressed by the way the people looked after all the animals on the street, I have never seen more street cats and dogs ever, that night we went out for dinner. While we were eating we saw all the animals were coming over for some food so mum gave lots of her meat to the cats and dogs. 

The cave

The first impression we had of the cave was it was amazing and it stayed like that the whole time there where 600 tv stations but not many English ones so it was fun trying to find, the cave was amazing the best place my mum has chosen to stay ever, the beds were not to small, there was a little fridge, the whole room was a cave and the bathroom was wicked.

The Monastery and Mustafa

Ballooning 

Flaam, and fjords

The drive

We drove five hours to Flaam, which is the closet fjord to Oslo. 

We went through a 26 km tunnel which is supposed to be the longest in the world. And the views were amazing. Driving through the Norwegian countryside is very unique. 

The house

When we arrived at the house Auntie Hege had a panic attack because we weren't allowed to bring the dog but we did anyone, but there was no one at reception so it was fine. Me and Ella found the key so we opened up the house and snuck the dog in. 

Outside the window we could see a million dollar view. 

The train ride up the mountain

The next day we caught a tourist train up to the top of the mountain. It wasn't very full because it's meant to be winter there, but it isn't yet, the weather has been weirdly warm. It's not cold in Norway right now because of obvious climate change. It's scary how the world is warming up so quickly.

The pig

When we jumped off the train, and walked around for a little bit we came across a pig that had been killed 20 minutes before we got there, it hung from a tree near the hotel, and a group of young men were gutting it. Me and uncle Matt watched that for a while while mum and Ella and Hege walked off. 

Lunch on the mountain 

Then we made a little bbq lunch thing, we cooked sausages and wrapped them in potato bread just off the walking track and ate our lunch. 

As we walked back one of the guys let us know they were going to kill another pig and as the man walked passed with his shotgun we rushed a little faster to remove Ella from it. 

Travelling in the fjords

Later that day we jumped on a boat and travelled along a Fjord. It was amazing! 

The next day we drove home in the rain. 

Uk and Norway

Me at a station on the Underground, London 

My mum with Jasper - he's a really funny, awesome kid. 

Me and my really cute cousin Oscar, we really miss him! 

Framlingham Castle

The castle was a great trip with the family in England, Auntie Skye and Uncle Mike hired a car for us and we drove in a line guided by Uncle Mike for two hours across Enlgand. The castle had an old poorhouse, smack bang inside it. There is a walk that you can do around the walls of the castle up on the top where the battlements are. From a distance you could see six cows  in the fields that surrounded it, the chimneys were patterned and shaped differently for decoration there were nine but only three were used as actual chimneys. Down stairs there was an ancient well, and my cousin Japser. Told everybody to 'put your voice in the well', which meant to make it echo. He did that for ages until everybody got annoyed, except for Jasper as he thought it was the coolest things, he thought the well was talking to him but it was actually people that were walking around the top of the battlements talking to each other. 

Nottingham Castle

We drive to this fake castle, it was a three hour drive because I stuffed up reading the map because my mum was making me do a spelling test, instead of a two hour drive. There was no castle, it was pulled down hundreds of years ago, there was just a hundred year old gallery, but we did a cave tour. It wasn't really amazing, it was a bit shit, but was advertised as bigger than it was, but it was old, and interesting. The guide talked for about 40 minutes. The car trips were really fun! 

Mums meeting in London and the British Museum

The train to London is expensive and long from Cambridge, my mum had a work meeting in London and I had to go. It was nice and fun to watch people talk about work and publishing, my mum had her work face on the whole time. The people took us out for lunch to a traditional English pub, with nice food, and then paid for us to catch a cab to the British Museum. when we arrived at the British Museum it looked like it was a building from Ancient Greece and then we went inside it was a lot bigger in the inside than it looked on the outside. The museum was very impressive and even though I thought I was going to be bored, I wasn't. My mum had a fist fight with a bear and the bear won

because my mum is only an oompalumpa! 

Norway was the second place we went to after England, in Norway we went to the fjords for four days, we stayed in the mountains it was freezing cold, we stayed at our best friends house in Oslo, they have a beautiful White House it has three-storeys, they have 2 bathrooms and both bathrooms haveheated flooring. mum and I slept downstairs, in the guest room, it was very nice, with sweet scent of cinnamon. 

Plane flight Melbourne to London

First of all our plane was delayed by 3 hours so instead of leaving at 9pm the plain left at 12am, that night for dinner dad cooked my favourite dish chicken and leek pie, which was an amazing last dinner and is my favourite dinner. 

After that we left home at 9pm and got to the airport at about 9:30 and we meet auntie Nivea and Delta so me and mum hung around with the family for a while at this bar food place in the airport, Nivea gave mum a gift and it was a new purse.

After we took a few photos and talked for a while mum and Inheaded off to the Qantas lounge for food and that's where me and mum charged our phones for the long flight, when we where there we found ice cream and nachos so we had as much as we could because we knew the food on a plain is very poor, so after all that we then went to the boarding place area, we found our seats and sat down and got ready for the long flight ahead.  

Peterborough (POSH)

My auntie Skye and uncle Mike got me tickets to go see a soccer game and the name of the team was Peterborough (POSH) I can't remember who they played.

About 10 mins in to the first half their left wing seemed to have pulled his hamstring so he needed to be subed off, I noticed there was a very rough left back for the other team, in the second half he got red carded, in the first half of extra time POSH scored their 1 and only goal, it was a pretty good goal, the ball come over the top of the defender and went straight to the strikers feet and he put it bottom right corner past the goalkeeper. The second half nothing happened beside the red card after the game we took a few photos and the headed off for chips for dinner.
