From December 3 2009 to January 3 2010, I went to Europe for a holiday. As it is almost been a year since my amazing adventure, I thought about writing down all of my memories as well as uploading some of my favourite photographs.
December 3 2009
I had woken up at 6:45AM with a big smile on my face. After an hour of getting ready, dropping my brother off at school, I was off to the Brisbane International Airport. When I said goodbye to my parents, I felt both excited and scared, since I was going to be flying all by myself to England. (Note: A week before, I had an English Speech as my exam and it was on 9/11, which caused me to worry about flying). After I had gone through Customs and went to find my gate, my plane to Hong Kong left at 11:46AM. During my flight, of sleeping, taking notes on where I was above at such and such time, I changed my watch to the time for Hong Kong. At 6:00PM, just before we touched down, I had noticed two dozen boats in the water.
After my four or five hour wait in the "Unaccompanied Children Room" I was taken to my gate, where I would be flying to Zurich, Switzerland. The air hostess who was to look after me was beautiful - bright blueyes and soft brunette curls which stopped between her ears and shoulder.

At 12:30AM (still in Hong Kong time), we took off. I have to say, that the most fascinating fact during this flight is where we flew over: Omsk (Russia) as well as Kazakhstan at one point. I cannot remember the time it took to fly to Zurich, but it was between 10-13 hours. After arriving in Zurich, I went on a small plane to Birmingham. Twenty five minutes after touching down, my Uncle picked me up.
I was welcomed to my Aunt and my baby cousin before my Uncle had to go and teach a class - they stayed in a house located inside their boarding school. After lunch, my Aunt, cousin and I walked around the school where I saw eight squirrels. They were so cute.

On this day, my Aunt, cousin and I went to CadburyWorld. While in the "Essense" room, I had melted chocolate with jelly babies whereas my Aunt had melted chocolate with marshmallows. Fact: Chocolate has to be churned for 12 hours. I had purchased a little keyring but I had seen a one kilogram of chocolate, which you could buy however, I never checked the price. During dinner, my Uncle explained that they have a door in their cupboard which goes into the boy's bedrooms (their small house/apartment is between girl's dorm and a boy's dorm on the other side of their house/apartment). My Uncle joked that what if one night a boy could open the door and "did a Narnia". Here are a few photographs I took while I was at CadburyWorld:

Who else is a Cadbury chocolate lover?
