jungle trekking

this is a bug we found on the way the the Cameron highlands. it was huge but it was almost dead.

 

this is a pic. of the hill side on the way tho our hotel. there was row after row of tea and strawberries.

this was our driver on this tour we went on to see the worlds second biggest flower and the this aboriginal village. it was a lot of fun because i got to try to shoot a blow gun. surprisingly i almost hit the bulls eye on my first try.

this is part of the road up to the flower. it was one of the better parts.

that is a bridge we had to walk across to get to the flower.

here is a bug we found along the way.

lots of the trail was eroded away by rain water and floods.

we had to cross a river half way there. it was freezing cold.

and hear it is the flower we all wanted to see. it was so big i almost thought it was fake.

most flowers smell good but not this one. one way to describe the smell would to say it smells like a public toilet out side a Mexican restaurant.

like i said before i got to try the blow gun and i almost hit the bulls eye.

on the way back we stopped at a strawberry farm and i got a strawberry shake. it was very good.

very busy week on the islands

Malaysia travel

May 25




The day before yesterday we got on this train from Johor Bahru to Tanah merah. It was an overnight train that left at 7 pm and arrived at 8 am. So we got on and we had all top bunks. We really wanted bottom ones so we could sit down and every thing because you can’t in the top ones. So we climbed in our little bunks and tried to sleep. I don’t remember much of the ride because I was sleeping, all I know is that it was very rickety. Yesterday we arrived in Tanah merah. It was a very small little town and the first thing we noticed was the market. But we couldn’t stop then, we had to get to the ferry. Once we got the tickets we went to the market and got 3 pineapple 2 watermelon and 2 pounds of water apple. I really liked the water apple. once we got to the island we got a room and went to the water. As soon as I stepped in I was disappointed. The water was about 40c. So we spent lots of time just on the beach. for dinner we had pizza and pasta. It was very good.

Today we went out to this deserted island. There I made a bamboo spear and I almost got a mullet with it. I also tried to get a parrot fish but it was to fast. when we got back we went swimming and ate lunch then we went swimming a bit more and soon we will eat dinner. So I have to go.

p.s. I want to know who’s all reading this so please leave a comment. And if you can’t figure out how then that’s pretty sad.

Singapore Chinatown

Yesterday we took a bus to china town. The first thing I noticed there was the smell. It smelt horrible from all the little shoppes and the gross food they were selling. One place had dried lizards. We also saw lots of temples and mosques. Part of the time we were looking for this building that looks like it has a huge boat on it. For lunch we ate at this food Court. I had some spicy won ton soup and a strawberry banana smoothy. It was very good.We went to see this big Farris wheel but it was to far away so we didn't. I really wanted to go on it because it is so big and you can hardly see the spokes because they are so small. So hopefully we can do that yet. Well we haven't dune much more than that that so  bye.

living with Tumar

this is Tumar

two days ago we arrived in Darwin. it hasn't been my favorite place so for... archly it is my least favourite because the city is very dirty, the people aren't that friendly, we are staying in a nice house by ourselves because the man who owns it is camping and then there's Tumar. Tumar is a dog who's real name is spike. he is 15 years old and has a tumor the size of your fist. the tumor is always pussing and bleeding all over the house and deck, it is disgusting. Tumar has to take 1or 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening. he has to eat this gross wet dog food witch we haven't been giving him because it smells and looks so bad. instead we are making him good food. Right now mom is making him scrambled eggs and toast.
 yesterday we went to town and walked around looking at all the shops, it was a lot of fun. While we were walking we came across a little store were they had lots of didgeridoos.we all got to try to play them and I was the best. I wanted to get one but the good ones were 700 dollars or more. well that's all for now, bye.

Great Barrier Reef

today... or your tomorrow... well any way, for us today we woke up at 6:30 am to go on our snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. we got to the place to get the pass then boarded 75 foot catamaran sailing ship. we departed the pier at 10 past 8. it was a long but fun ride out, it took 2 hours but it was fun. once we got out we took a little glass bottom boat to this small cay from which we walked out to the reef. it was a cool island but it smelt like rotten fish and bird poop. on the reef the first new thing i saw was the giant clam. it was huge and purple. i also say a bunch of sea turtles that i could almost touch.i also saw a huge moaroiw rasse. it was maybe 4 feet long and very cool. once it was lunch we had sandwiches, watermelon, pasta carbinara, salad and prawns. it tasted grate but i kept smelling the islands disgusting aroma. eventually we left for the next spot. there i was the second in the water while mom was questioning whether she would even come in when i saw 2 sharks swimming 30 feet under us. so i weld that there were 2 sharks and right away she jumped in and came to see. they were about 6 feet long. they were white tipped reef sharks so they were harmless unless you feed them so we kept our food in the boat. after some scuba divers scared away the sharks i went to fined something else that could heart me, sadly there were no more sharks so i settled for another 4 foot long grouper that i almost touched. later on it the trip mom and Miranda were on the boat so me and dad thought we would be dune to, wile we were swimming for the boat we came in contact with a school of jelly's. i didn't know what was going on till it was to late. me and my dad both got stung lots of timed but i got it the worst. i had hundreds of stings on my arm 5 or 6 on my hand a few on my back some on my stomach and lots on my lips. we got to the boat and put on some stuff the make it feel better and no it was not pee it was like vinegar. if that was a box jelly i would be dead for sure. luckily it wasn't thou and I'm still hear.after an unpleasant ride back of pain mostly on my lips and arm we finally got back and the pain mostly went away. right now it doesn't hurt at all but it does Itch a little. well it was still a fun trip, bye.

fishing

May 14




Today me and my dad went fishing . We had to wake up at 7 and we left shortly after. At first we had to get some bait. The captain had a big net and got a bunch of little fish for bait. We all caught a lot of different kinds of fish. Once we had a lot of bait we went for real fish. My dad caught 2 coral trout. In china, coral trout can be worth $150 a piece. So we are going to eat them for supper…um… dinner. We didn’t catch any more coral trout but lots of other kinds. When we got back I had lunch and brownies. Soon we will eat dinner and I hope it will be good.
