It seems that I went on another trip but it was not in Sri Lanka this time it is SOUTH AFRICA .Im also telling you all about the journey to South Africa so if it is boring you can skip.

I realy liked my trip to south africa because my sister did not come

In the morning we got into the airport express van and went to the air port and after all that check things we went to the lounge and waited for our flight and to keep myself entertained I ran the opposite side of those horizontal escalators. When the plane came I stopped and got into it. About 5 or 9 hours later we came to Dubai. Whilst my father sat and waited my mom was going shopping. I had nothing to do so i followed her. After she finished we went back to my father and bought some doughnuts and checked into a hotel at the air port. Whilst my mother and father slept I solemnly ate my doughnut and went to sleep in my clothes because we didn’t have our PJ’s. Then at 11.00 in the night we woke up and checked out again we went through the  check thingy and there was a lady who knew sinhala she was thrilled to see a Sri lankan, she also had quit a knowledge about the places in Sri lanka, so we said bye to her and went into the plane. After about 6  or 9 hours we came to johanas burg (it was in the evening).since there was something wrong with one of the machines our flight was delayed for a tinsy bit.After it was fixed we got on to South African airlines. This flight was boring because it didnt have those tv thing that are stuck on your seat but any way it was only a 4 to 6 hour flight.  Now we came to Port Elizabeth. It was late in the night about 12.00. After we went through all those machine things we got into a shuttle and went to a small nice hotell called Summer Strand. Unfortunately the weather did not live up to the name of the hotel and instead was the total opposite.It turned out to be freezing cold which was totally opposite of my thoughts too (burning hot). At the counter there was a really nice lady who said by to the almost sleeping me, but when they gave that card to put into the slot in our room in the place of a key hole i became wide awake hoping I could put it into the slot unfortunately I couldnt because we where only just introduced to the room and one of the hotel people had  to do it . Once we got into our room I quickly got into my pj’s and got into the bed I will be sleeping in for about 4 nighs, and tried to sleep, but it was quit hard to because it was kind of fun staying up because my mother and father where up to because my mother was waiting for her bag to come from the airport (my moms bag didnt come out of that machine where you take your bags from). Once it came it was a bout 1.00 in the night and my mother turened the lights off and we sleept.

Next morning I was woken up at about 7.00 in the morning.We went down and had breakfast (hash brown,toast,water melon). After that my dad went for a meeting and my mom and i went for a walk. we came out of the hotel door and noticed how freezing it was out side, so we went back in and i wore 2 vests, 2 short sleeve t shirts, 2 long sleeve t shirts, underwear, 1 pair of longs, 1 jersey and 1 jacket and it was still cold. We went out again and stopped at a big sign that said “Nelson Mandela Bay” or some thing like that i was amazed that i was there, because i had heard of this place and wondered what it looks like, well now i got my awnser !!. It amazing a huge beach with some dandilions and some other plants. We didnt walk on the beach but we walked on that wooden platform thing. “THIS PLACE TOTTALY ROCKS!!!!!!”. After the small walk we went back to the hotel and saw there was a small play ground, so i went and played there for a Little while suddenly a lady in a fancy uniform came running towards us “please i am very sorry but you have to go to your rooms,im am very sorry because the monkeys have come back again to eat the eggs of the weaver birds” and she pointed at the the trees that looked like a cypres tree, and we saw it was covered in weaver bird nests and about 5 to 6 monkeys dangling from a branch very dangerously and in its hands was a broken egg from a weaver bird, the yolk dangling from its foul mouth not that i have smelt a monkeys mouth and notl ike i want to.We quickly ran to our room and looked out side from the window and saw the panting lady chasing the monkeys away, and suddenly a monkey jumps in front of me (the window sheilds me from this foul but unusualy cute beast)I ran back the monkey looks at me with a look of amusement its face and sudenly it brakes into a lout screach like laugh. I quikly took a very nice looking stick that i collected on the road, and ran waving the stick the monkey saw me and stopped and ran onto a branch. Now look who’s laughing :p hihihihi. It looked at me with a scowl full of hatred.

Once the monkeys had gone i finnished my newly found fun at the playground after we came back to the room and we ordered lunch i had a hot dog, but it wasnt a ordinary hotdog it was a giant, messy hotdog with sauace and pickles and tomato’s and onions, of course i cant eat the whole thing. After lunch my mom and i watched march of the penguin it went on for a long time and during that time my dad came and went back down………………….. (full stop). After we ate dinner we walked up to the room (i ran with the card to the room).

It was still quite early and my dad went to check his e-mails again and my mom and i had breakfast. We went back to our room and decided to go for a walk and as we passed the checking counter a very friendly lady told my mother that there was a small aquarium/theme park some where close by, so my mom and i caught a bus and we went to this place it was quit noticeable for there was a huge sign saying BAY WORLD so we went in. There was a show of some sort so we went and watched it was about 2 real dolphins, a big male Domino and another one said to be his daughter. After the show we went to see the aquariums. It wasn’t bad. There was a bigger tub like one with small circular windows. I walked towards it and peered inside and a ragged tooth shark suddenly appeared from out of the blue and scared me. After this we walked all over and came to a museum like place with weird thing like a 2 headed puppy (that freaked me out a bit),a baby with 2 heads sitting in a bottle with a human brain (that freaked me out a bit more) and a half preserved corps (now that seriously freaked me out). After this we went out of bay world and took a look at the street pavements. They were very interesting for they were full of various things, for example paintings, statues, bookmarks which i liked quite a bit for they were very creatively painted on leather, key tags which i also like for they are done with great skill. After this we walked back to the hotel and had lunch and i took care not to take the hotdog. After lunch my mom and i decided to watch some tv. I doubt there was any thing to watch, but we found some thing it was Heidi (by  Johanna Spyri) or that’s what I think it was. Then we watched some old Disney movie about some boy who dreamed of playing golf or some thing. Now I’m starting to think that it wasn’t so bad. My dad came back to the room and after about 2 hours he went back. On his 2 hour stay he dropped something on the bed, and the thing he dropped on the bed was a shark egg. Pretty cool huh?

Well life goes on and on and on as it seemed to me. We watched the Marche of the Penguin again but in French and i could say that. My dad came back and we all took a wash and went to dinner. Just if you are curious I ate a hash brown and some thing very odd but very tasty, and finally for dessert mint and chocolate chip ice cream, or some thing like chocolate. I know its bad for me, because i tend to sneeze at very random moments, if I don’t go to bed bed early or if I

The wonderful land of Port Elizabeth The poor weaver birds not knowing whats in store for themThe sea lions at bay world

eat cold things before I go to bed. What can I do thats my favourite ice cream for some very odd reason its not being sold at home.

After we woke up once again we went for breakfast and said bye to my father (as i told you life goes on). So my mom and i went up to the room, and once again i snatched the card from my mother and ran to the room opened the door went inside and waited for my mom to come. A few minutes afterwords my mother finally came.we spent about an hour in the room spending our time watching tv. We watched varius things like how to go fishing and some african programe. After that we went for a walk and discovered a park after going on the swing for about five minutes we were going to leave, when all at once a van full of people stopped and screamed”get out! get out!” and we rushed out the park and to the hotel. Since it was quite a boring day i went to the little play ground at the hotel. there i met some people and they were nice and we made friends with them and played a game with them until we went back to the room. There we had lunch as my father walked into the room.After we had lunch we went for another walk but we did not dare set foot in the newly found playground. What a shame that play ground was really nice.
