LA PEDRERA

Image
Now it is time for me to go into more detail about the  museums. The first museum/building I went to was La Pedrera. It is one of the most famous in Barcelona. It was an old house which Antoni Gaudi wanted to rebuild because he thought it was quite ugly so he built the house in such a magnificent and wondrous way. He thought about every inch of the house and how it would work. He even considered how to keep it warm in the winter and not too hot in the summer. I think he is one of the best designers in the world. Sadly in the end he didn’t end up finishing La Pedrera because he got tired of changing everything.

This is when I went to Scotland. We took the overnight train Caledonian Sleeper from St Pancras Train Station in London all the way to Glasgow. It was a very relaxing and fun journey, but really long (about 7 hours). `, My train journey to SCOTLAND   ST GILES’ CATHEDRAL  NEW CALTON CEMETERY ST MARY'S EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL EDINBURGH CASTLE  WEEPETER STATUE  LOCH NESS It is a lake located in the Scottish highlands.

VISITING … THE NAZCA LINES!!

Image
- Nazca Lines are large ancient figures in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.  - We spent the night in a Nazca hotel, then got up early and took a short, 30-minutes overflight to see the best of the Nazca Lines. - We drove 7 hours from Lima to Nazca city. - In total, there are over 800 figures of straight lines, animal and plant designs. I saw only 20 of them which are some of the most famous ones. - The best way to see the Nazca Lines is by air…. It was so much fun flying in a small airplane! - Sadly this beautiful site is facing some environmental problems due to pollution and deforestation in the region .

This is a picture of my cousin and me sailing in France . It was a really fun experience, I had a really good time, I learnt to sail and I really enjoyed it. I think that the best time to do sailing is in the summer. The weather was really nice: warm and sunny . Preparing the Sailing Boat Team work 

THE ACROPOLIS (GREECE )

Image
I really recommend a visit to the Acropolis ! The Acropolis is one of the most famous monuments in the world and a national symbol of Greece. The Acropolis is the name of the hill on which ancient Athens was founded. The most famous of all is the Parthenon Temple , dedicated to G oddess Athena – the patron goddess of Athens city.  There are two entrances to the Acropolis rock. From there you continue your way to the top from where you have a stunning view a s you continue upwards, you will see others temples too such as the Propylaea , the impressive marble main entrance gates , Erechteion , the Temple of Athena Nike , and the Sanctuary of Artemis .
