LACOCK ABBEY - HARRY POTTER FILM

We visited Lacock Abbey which was just down the street from the house i was staying at. It was like a giant castle. The steps were made out of stone and had dints in them and have been worn out over hundreds of years from people walking on them. Harry Potter was filmed here.

BATH AND LONGLEAT

We went to a large old town called Bath. This was like a small city with shops. We sat and ate ice cream. We went to a giant park that was lots of fun.

The next day we went to Longleat which was a giant mansion. It had lots of really old paintings. On the grounds there was a safri park. We saw animals but we had to stay in the car because some of the animals like tigers might harm us. There was also an adventure park which had slides, ropes and six turrents. I visited them all! We did not have time to go to the maze.

LACOCK - UK VILLAGE

We arrived in Lacock where we are staying with relatives, Tiff and Anthony. They have two girls, Olivia and Tilly and a dog called Tess. I like playing with Tess because he fetches sticks.

Lacock Village has an english pub called "The Bell Inn" where we had dinner. The village is very old. There are stone walls everywhere and enormous green fields. The weather has been fine with only one day of rain. Zac and Alex rode a pony, Mum went riding on a horse and I ran with the dog.

TUESDAY - SWINDON, UK COUNTRYSIDE

Hello,

Today we visited a village called Bourton On Water. It had alot of bridges to walk over. The houses looked very old. They looked like medievil times. We fed ducks in the river which runs through the village.

We the went to Cotswold Farm. We fed goats and cows. We went on a zipline which is like a flying fox. Zac and I went super fast on it. Then we went to the jumping jack pillow. It was pretty hard to jump on. It was like an enormous pillow. We went through a maze called the quest for the Cotwold Lion, which is not really a Lion, it is a sheep. They named it lion because it has a mane like a Lion. We went on tractors that were powered by batteries. Then in the afternoon we drove to Lacock.

MONDAY - UK COUNTRYSIDE

Hello everybody,

Today we caught a taxi to Gatwick airport to pick up a car. We drove 3 hrs and arrived at our relatives who live in the country. They have a german shepard dog called Rocky. We walked up the lane and saw a well which does not work anymore. They use to get special water from the well over 100 years ago and take it all over the world. It would cure illness.

LEGOLAND

Hi Everyone.
Today I went to Legoland. It was really cool because most things were made of lego, it was amazing.
First i went on the water ride. We kept bumping into sides and people squirted water at us.
I saw miniature model towns made out of 40 million lego pieces.
We also saw a 4D movie. 4D involves 3D plus things that come out at you like water and wind.

London

Hi every-one

I am in London and I live in Kensington. Afterwards we went to Buckingham Palace and I took some photos of it and then I had some lunch. Buckingham palace looks like a giant palace that had guards and humungus gates to protect the Queen.

We went to Hamleys Toy Store. It had five floors filled with toys. I bought a flying UFO.

See Ya

From Hong Kong

Hi every one. Today we went down to a place that has a buffet breakfast. After that we went to harbour city and bought some stuff. I bought a Pokemon book that is not out in Australia yet. Then we went to Kowloon park and played for a while then it started to rain so we went back to our hotel and I played DS. Then I watched TV then, well, I was typing all this. See you later from Hong Kong!
