Naxos



You may think this is weird, but in Greece you have to put the toilet papper in bin, beside you, even if you'r going no.2! There is a way to spot Greece, that is look for the islands with white concrete and blue shutters.
Every house has either white concrete or blue shutters, probably both.

The other thing is that these guys have, Feta+Olives+ Breads for breakfast. They also have big chunks of marble on there beaches, not the sort you play with but the sort of building marble. They also this food called gyros it's like vegetables and meat in pita bread.

I forgot to tell you, that I went up to this monument called the temple, it was built thousunds of years ago, dad and I still don't know how they got the bricks up there!                                   .                (
                                                                                                                                      (
sadly there is a delay for our boat to Mykynos  so we have to go tommorow, .                (

My first day in naxos!

well today I woke up to a buffet, after a while we went to lunch, all three of us had gyros which us local food here in Naxos. On the way back me and Dad went and got a dume buggy, we rented it of course. We first went to a place called the Temple, after that we left the city in it and headded for the country. First we had to go up this huge hill it was a bit curvey but since I was steering it was OK! After a while I recorded a video for my blog. On the way back we stopped of at a sandy beach, and I got a peice of marble. A after we got back me and dad headded straight for the pool. After I got out I started bloging so here I am.

Last day in London :(

Mind the gap!
I guess I can't keep up with the time difference over here because the same thing happened yesterday! Well yesterday I went to the London transport museum, and I had to put a ticket in 13 different skinny booths, scattered across the museum.

Last time I forget my ticket
On the bottom floor there was an awsome train simulator, you had a lever and you had to push it forward, to make the train speed up, and pull it back to slow down.

London day 4!!

I couldn't blog about yesterday yesterday because I was so tired, I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bus.
Yesterday I went to Harrods the poshest shop in the world, I thought it was the biggest shop in the world to apparently not.

After Harrods, I went to this 4D show called the Doctor Who experience. As soon as I got there, the guy there said that "I was wearing the wrong top" because I was wearing my Arsenal top, then the guy beside him said " don't listen to him he's just denying it cause he knows that it's the best team in the world"

When I got in the small theater, I was a bit worried because have you ever heard of the weeping angels.

They are so scary well they were in there, and let me tell you they are not just your ordinary statues, for those who don't know them well I do. I recognize them from the show and the episode "don't blink".

What they do is when you blink or when they point at a light close by the light starts to flicker on and off, when that starts to happen they travel at the speed of light but never look them in the eye or else they'l turn you into one of them!!!!!!    
After that and my snooze on the bus I got a crepe from this guy just outside of our apartment, usually it would cost $4.15 but because of my shirt it was $4.00!
                                                That's all for now bye!

Hi A1.

I was wondering when you where moving in to D2, thanks for the update Matt and Jack. Once you get in the class for a couple of days, report back to me and tell me if I'll get to be in the class or only you, get to stay in it. Bye!

London - Day 3

Zzzzz.....
Today was awesome.


You should see the gun!
I got to go on the London Eye, which is a huge ferris wheel in the middle of London. Although it took us 15 minutes to get up to the top, we had some pretty cool sights to look at. For one thing we could see Big Ben, another thing we could see was Westminster Abbey - which is were Kate and William  got married. Oh yeah, that reminds me, I forgot to tell you that yesterday me and my mum went there.

I've got a little story to tell you, when we got off a train just outside of Big Ben, my mum asked me what I thought was in front of me? I said, "I dunno". She said, "Big Ben" - and I looked up and i was like "Oh yeah". That's my story.

Today I went to Hamley's, which is the biggest toy store in Europe!!! I got a 'lunar lander' which is a helicopter/car, and I don't mean that you have to stop it and transform it, I mean you flick a switch and turns into a car like magic! I also got some blendy pens, not the ones in NZ I mean way better ones no offence.

I also went to an imperial war museum which was so awesome - Dad loved it. That was my day, now I'm going to play with my new stuff!

BYE!

London day two











Hello and welcome to my second day in London, today I went to the royal mews, and saw the busby's standing on guard,  here are some photos as proof.

I'm in London!

Hi ya, I just got off the plane and man was it great! All though I didn't sleep as long as I would've wanted to, I did sleep for a good four hours. When we got out of the plane we headed straight to our apartment, when we got there there was a key waiting for us, and this high tech key. First I had to put the high tech key on this scanner, up the lift and into our apartment, as soon as we had a good look around, we went to a supermarket called sainsbury's, for the trolly we had to put a one pound coin in, that would trigger something to let the trolly go (we decided we were going to have lasagna. ) . so here I am now blogging to you all now.......        THE END FOR NOW!!!

Vegas part 2

After that we went back into our own hotel pool, before we knew it it was lunchtime, we  had some nacho chips and dips next to the pool.


A couple of hours later we went to the venitian, which is a venice themed hotel.




Soon after it when it was was dinner time we went to a place like New York New York except paris themed.  I had a 1/2 pound burger, which I could only take one bite before I was full as cane be. I wasn't really suprised how big it was, because last time I went to America, the food was huge!

For the third day we went on an awsome helicopter tour




for dinner we got take-aways we went this amazing show called LOVE, it was a tribute to the beatles it was awsome!! A circus to beatles music.

Later we saw a volcano erupt at the mirage, it had lava,water and even fire.





For pudding we ordered room service, I had a strawberry milkshake and ice cream. (it turned out to be whipped cream.)

For last but no were near least night we went to New York     

Veages

Hello I am sorry about the other 4 days, but I was so busy doing the most amazing things.  It was so hot when I got off the plane, it was 42 degrees.


 our hotel was on the top floors of this other hotel...they had treats waiting for me


For dinner I had pizza at New York New York. I went to this shop called houdini's and got this stupifying floating card trick  that I might show you upon my return.

On the second day I went straight to the wave pool and the lazy river with mum, I can't tell you anything more until I get to L.A, again to go  to London I'm jumping on the plane now.





                                                                    SEE YA!

The flight is taking so long

I can't believe how long it takes to go from one plane to another, there is one thing I will not forget, that is when I came into the classroom and said goodbye, everybody trampled me and it felt like Korban was gong to pull my arm off!! Thats it for now see ya later!   

I'm in Auckland.

Hi ya. In Auckland airport now, soon to be on my way to L.A. On a plane with T.V's, it'll be awesome.
Last time I went on a plane that took 12 hours, I woke up to a glass of OJ - I hope the same will happen this time to. My Dad just went to get me an orange it better be fresh! It is surprisingly. I guess I don't have to do any more homework I feel sorry for you guys stuck in NZ.


                                  P.S I just ate a chocolate cookie.

Farewell to NZ, here's some pictures of me,matt and josh
