Paris

After taking the train back under the English Channel we drove to our apartment, where we would be staying in Paris and met our cousins and uncle (our aunty was already with us). In Paris we did some cool things like going up the Eiffel Tower,





going up Notre Dame,

going to the Louvre and seeing the Mona Lisa,

going to The Pantheon, going to Sacre Coeur,

went to a cool playground and at the same place hired little boats and pushed them around with long sticks

and went to the Arch de Triomphe, where all the Le Tour de France races end.

    

London

For the last couple of days we have been staying in London. In those days we have done some fun things like an awesome Doctor Who Experience (some of you might not know what Doctor Who is, well it's a T.V show),

went on the London Eye (the enormous ferris wheel), found Vegemite in a supermarket YAY! (you don't find Vegemite in Europe), went in the FREAKY London Dungeons,

These photos are always taken at the awkwardest moments

which had things about the plague (did you know that Ring-a-ring-a-rosy is about the plague!?), Bloody Mary and Jack the Ripper, saw Big Ben (did you know that big ben isn't actually the name of the clock or the tower it's the name of the bell at the top that is hit by a hammer every hour?), saw Buckingham Palace, saw some Harry Potter film locations

  and found vegetarian food YAY!

Liverpool VS Sunderland

Liverpool have scored and my ears have fallen off of my head. We are in Liverpool and at Anfield Stadium for the first game of the season: Liverpool FC verses Sunderland AFC. We are going for LIVERPOOL! And at the moment it is 1-0 to Liverpool. Yay! The crowd and noise is incredible and I can't see one seat empty. There are police lining the fence and some of them have those big, funny hats that make them look silly. Here I have a rating of the loudest noises:
Clapping when the ball goes out of the field: Loud
Clapping when someone misses a shot: Pretty Loud
OOOOOO when someone nicks a goal post or cross bar: Very Loud
Booooooo when someone does a fake trip: Ear Ringing
Yay when Sunderland scores: Ouch My Ears Hurt
WOHO when Liverpool scores: Eardrum Popping

At the end of the game the score was a 1-1 draw.
Suarez (pronounced s-w-a-rr-e-s) scored the goal for Liverpool and Larsson for Sunderland.

Here is a video of the goal for Liverpool that my mum took:

England

Just six days ago me, Mum, Dad, Eden and Elki caught a train underneath the English Channel from France to England. We had to drive our car onto the train. We have been staying in a little town called Winchcombe.

 In the last couple of days we have gone to the town called Bath where there are the Roman Baths,

Leicester, where we watched a roller derby bout (game),

Cheltenham, Bourton-on-the-water, where we went to a car museum that is the home of Brum (the little yellow vintage car that has been on T.V for about 20 years) and where Brum was filmed,

we did a murder mystery thingy in Winchcombe and then we drove to Oxford, where we went to Oxford University and saw some of the places where Harry Potter was filmed. This is the stairs where the children waited for Professor McGonagall to lead them into The Great Hall in the first movie.

Belgium

In Belgium we stayed in a town called Bruges. In Bruges me, Mum and Eden climbed 366 steps to a bell tower and while we were up there the bells chimed. It works like one of the little wind-up music boxes. In Bruges we also went on a boring canal tourist boat ride, I didn't think it was very interetsting, the only fun part was when I touched the water and the underneath of one of the bridges. We stayed in a big, cool three storey house with very, very steep steps. On one of the last days we went to a chocolate museum and in the museum I learned that people used to use cocoa beans as currency. You could get a rabbit for 10 cocoa beans and a servant for 100. Belgium is famous for their beer, waffles and chocolate. I got to try lots of weird flavours of chocolate like earl grey tea and basil.
