Travel plans

I would bring my friend along for my travels. I hope to create more memories with her before we go our separate ways at secondary school. Here is my travel plan:

         First, we would take a plane to Paris, France to see the amazing and well-known Eiffel Tower. I have heard of it but have never seen it with my own eyes. I wish to take a few photos of us up the tower and go window shopping as well.

         Next, I would want to take a ferry to Britain, where I could watch the live parade celebrating the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth. I read from the newspaper that there will be 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians! What a grand event! Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, we could have a handshake with the Queen and take photos with her! We could also catch a glimpse of the Buckingham Palace.

         Lastly, I would like to bring my friend on board a helicopter to Iceland, so that we can find out if Iceland is really covered in ice. However, I would NOT try the traditional delicacy of whale meat in order to protect the whales. Of course, one of the main reasons why I want to go to Iceland is also to watch its famous Northern Lights. My friend and I can roast delicious marshmallows while lying down on a blanket. That would certainly be a memorable time that I would not forget.

         After the trip is over, we would take a plane back to Singapore, our home sweet home.

I would like to go to Australia with my family. I would walk from place to place, as I can then enjoy the great things just that little bit more. I think it would be ideal to visit during the December holidays, as we can stay for far longer. I would absolutely love to visit a farm like I did when I was a little girl. I want to hold a snake that would dangle from my neck, and feed the other animals, like chickens and roosters. I hope to ride a horse around the farm, how fun that would be! And it delights me just thinking about snorkelling or diving into the cool ocean water, and being able to see the majestic and magnificent Great Barrier Reef and its many beautiful inhabitants — fish, sea slugs, starfish, etc. When all of this happens, I’ll be ready with a camera to capture the moments in photos or videos to keep as memories of this simply amazing trip to Australia.
