Recount 2<br />
Hi Dylan<br />
Our plane was late leaving Heathrow on Saturday because of the bad<br />
weather. Brad and Lizzie were grumbling and whining by the time we<br />
finally got on the plane. Theyʼre such little kids! Dad was really<br />
excited about his new job and Mum was looking forward to finally having<br />
a big house and some nice weather. Thank goodness the novelty of being<br />
on a plane quietened Brad and Lizzie down for a while until we landed in<br />
Singapore!<br />
By the time we arrived in Singapore we were all ready to stretch our<br />
legs. We spent the night in a really great hotel close to the airport.<br />
There was even a telephone in the bathroom! Unfortunately, we had to get<br />
up early to get on the plane to Australia. At least I got a window seat<br />
on the plane so it wasnʼt as bad as the first leg of the journey! I got<br />
to see ʻKung fu kingʼ, but I wonʼt tell you what the movie was about and<br />
spoil it for you! The food wasnʼt too bad but I enjoyed the chocolate<br />
ice-cream the best! I was glad that I filled my backpack with comics and<br />
computer games as the trip seemed to go on forever. We were all getting<br />
tired of travelling by the time the pilot announced that we were making<br />
our descent.<br />
We finally arrived in Australia on Sunday afternoon. After we had all<br />
disembarked and collected our baggage, I was starting to worry again.<br />
I realised that it was going to be a big change coming from winter in<br />
England to summer in Australia. When we got out of the terminal, we<br />
could already feel how hot it was! Itʼs hard to believe it was cold and<br />
rainy when we left England.<br />
We caught a taxi to the motel where we are staying until our furniture<br />
arrives at the new house. Tomorrow, weʼre taking a hire car to see where<br />
weʼll be living.<br />
Talk to you soon! Dad wants to use his laptop to email Grandma and<br />
Grandpa to let them know we arrived safely! When heʼs finished, Iʼm going<br />
to ask him how hard it is to learn to ride a surfboard!<br />
Your ʻmateʼ, Evan!<br />
