graduated on 1 June, and the next day, westarted travelling! Shes Chinese and Im

English! It was an incredible adventure and I

had a wonderful time.

We started in England in Kings Cross station

for the train under the sea to Paris, and then

across France to Marseilles. That was very

expensive but it was good fun. We met our

friend Louis in Marseilles and we stayed one

night in his at. Then he drove us to Spain.

We sailed from Algeciras (Spain) to Tangiers in

Morocco. The weather was terrible on the boat

and my face was green! We went down Africa

on the bus, from city to city all the time. Then,

in South Africa, we took a plane to Buenos

Aries.

Finally, we travelled all the way to Rio on

bikes! (Really!) It was amazing! My legs were

really strong at the end. Then, we got a planeto Los Angeles. Im going to tell you all about

that experience ... next time!
