Racetrack Playa,USA

Tuesday 10th August
I am going to California in the USA. When I get there I am going to Death Valley. It is the hottest and driest place in the USA.

When I got to Death Valley it was really windy. All around there was tall mountains  made out of dolomite. I looked down and there were millions of cracks on the floor. It was awesome. There was also  imprints everywhere and they lead up to some rocks. I asked the man who I was with "how do the rocks move." He said they move during the times when the ground is really wet and soft and muddy. They slide. I took loads of pictures of the Racetrack Playas and the mountains.

I had a great day. I thought the Racetrack Playas were a bit spooky. I will never ever for get this day it was so amazing.

Deer Cave, Malaysia

I arrived at the airport at 10:00 in the morning. I was tired but excited. I was going to Deer Cave in Malaysia!.

When I got to Malaysia I checked in to a hotel. It was very different to hotels in England.Then I caught a plane to Deer Cave. It was really noisy. As we hovered over Deer Cave I saw how big it was and how beautiful.


When I got off the plane the guide showed me the bats. He said there is about 5 million, it was so amazing the whole ceiling of the cave was covered in them. They were all screeching at each other. All of the floor was covered in bat poo and cockroaches. It was quite disgusting but the smell wasn't bad. It smelt sweet because bats it sweet fruit.

Then the guide asked if I wanted to do some caving I said OK. I didn't go very high because I wasn't allowed but it was still amazing. I asked the guide before I left "Why is it called Deer Cave" He said it is called Deer Cave because of the deer that came to the entrance of the Cave to lick salt off the rocks.

I went back to my hotel. I had a great day and I wish I could go back.

The Forbidden City, China

Monday 17th May

I arrived at the airport at 10:00 in the morning. It was very busy and I was so tired. I am going to Beijing in China.
When I got to Beijing I checked in to a hotel and went to bed. Traveling is so tiring.

Tuesday 18th May
The next morning I got on a coach and traveled to the Forbidden City. When I  arrived there were thousands of people queueing to get in. When I got to the entrance it was very long. When I got to the main building there were some guards wearing funny hats and clothes. I walked in side it was beautiful. It was full of silk and Chinese patterns and it was amazing. All of the buildings were red and gold. There is about 10,000 houses in the whole of the Forbidden City so one of the guides told me. The Forbidden City was built to protect the emperor, his wives and concubines.It was also for the emperor to get away from his enemies from Mongolia.

I left and got back on the coach and then back to the hotel. I hope I can go again as it was beautiful.
