Hello everyone! I am back from two lovely relaxing and scorching weeks in Croatia. I did lots of swimming in the sea, eating truffles and reading – including the first three books of the ‘Twilight’ series. (By the way, I have to say I am definitely team Jacob rather than team Edward).
This photo is of a scorpion that crawled very near our heads one night in a Croatian bar! It was not quite as scary as it looks here as it was only a few centimetres long, but it was a bit of a shock nevertheless! But one of the things I love about visiting a different country is all the different things you see, smell, taste and hear – from delicious new food to scary scorpions. It’s so interesting being surrounded by different things from your everyday life back in Britain. Here are some of the things that I will remember about Croatia:
1. The almost deafening whirr of the crickets at night
2. The feel of the slimy, shaggy seaweed under my feet walking on the rocky shores
3. Eating delicious homemade bread at a restaurant, still warm from the oven
4. The feel of sticky flipflops slapping against my feet walking over cobblestoned roads
5. The sound of a choir singing in the moonlight
Your challenge this week is to tell us about a different place or country you’ve visited. What are the sounds, smells and sights that stay with you?

the only place i can remeber going other than britain is france… i will always remember being the illest ive ever been and having hallucinations. And eating peanut butter crisps and drinking minty pop. That was the main thing that stayed with me… tha CRAZY flavoured junk food.
Well, I remember going to Mexico when I was 4 years old & this is all I really remember:
1) Going on a boat trip in the sea and seeing a turtle, some dolphins and some pelicans/birds. I didn’t get to see the birds because I fell asleep!
2) I went to the main square of Mexico city & saw a GIANT flag of Mexico! I nearly frightened myself to death!
3) Burning my feet on the sand!
