Month: June 2019

This week has been awesome. In Puglia we went to a beach that had a huge bridge above it. There were lots of rocks and I jumped off a rock that was 6 meters to the water. The view was amazing from the beach into the water.

Another highlight was when I walked up a waterfall that had 260 steps. The thing that is special about the waterfall is that it only runs 10 times a year. We were really unlucky because the waterfall ran 6 days before we were there.

Then we flew to Greece. We went into Santorini first and there were so many amazing views and incredible sunsets. The first highlight I did was an 8 kilometre walk along the ridge which joins several of the small villages. It was tiring but fun at the same time and the views were great.

Then the next day we went on a sunset boat cruise in the afternoon. It was probably my favourite thing of the holiday so far. We got to stop and swim at three different beaches, including the hot springs and I jumped off the side of the boat. We also got to watch the sunset from the boat. My favourite Greek food it probably souvlaki.

The past week of my holiday has been awesome. We have been to two different houses since my last post. I am now currently staying near Lecce which is the capital of Pulgia.

A highlight this week is when we went to Otranto. There was a very large church. At the back of the church there were all these skulls for the people that died when the Turkish invaded the town.

Another highlight is when I went to a beach called Porto Miggiano and we could jump off a rock into the water. Then we would swim too a grotto which is like a cave and explore.

My favourite beach so far has been Cala dell’Acquaviva where you could just keep jumping off the rock.

We went for a walk to explore the coast line. The view was very similar to the 12 Apostles. My favourite food so far would probably be seafood.

So far my holiday has been really fun. I finally got to Italy after three flights. The last week we have been going to the beach or staying around the pool.

We hired a paddle boat twice and the first time we had a wonderful time because the water was so warm to swim in but the second time we hired it there were so many jellyfish in the water. We still went in which probably wasn’t a great idea because after a minute my Mum got stung.

Then the next day we went to a different beach and we were swimming from a cave all the way into shore. Then I built a rock sculpture on the sand.

I have also been going into a lot of churches. One of them was in a cave and it looked amazing. Another highlight so far is the sunsets. The one I saw a couple of days ago was very unusual because all of a sudden fireworks started to go off. It was very interesting though because they tied in with the colours of the sunset.

I hope the year 5 market goes well.
