Mac’s Overseas Adventure.

I have just got home from a 5 week adventure. I went to Scotland for my aunty’s wedding. My Dad hadn’t been home to Scotland for 14 years. We went from Nelson to Auckland first. Auckland airport is really cool. We left Auckland and Hong Kong was our first stop. I didn’t like it that much. It had a funny smell and it was really hot. When you went outside, it was like walking into a heater. It was hard to breath. Then we went all the way to London. It was an 11 hour flight. I didn’t get any sleep on that flight. This is where we met up with Grandma and Granddad. I hadn’t seen them for 3 years. We drove to Scotland from London. It was torture having to sit in the car for 8 hours to get there. When we got to Scotland I slept for hours. Grandma and Grandpa’s house was a cottage and it had this gravel type stuff on the outside walls, that attracted heaps of snail! On the inside it was like a fancy New Zealand house.

In Scotland I met lots of Dad’s family friends. I also met 5 of my cousins. In Scotland we visited East Colder, Edinburgh, Stirling and Crimond. We got to see the Edinburgh dungeon. It was really scary. I tried Haggis and it was disgusting. When we left Scotland my Dad was really sad and he cried. It will probably be ages before he visits Scotland again.

The highlight of my trip was my aunty Pamela’s wedding. It was really fun and I ate a lot of cake!

I was really happy to get home. I missed the smell of Nelson. I also missed Mum, Bamma, Tim, Wallace and my class.
