Christmas Lights at Lobethol

Lobethol is a small town in The Adelaide Hills which has a lot of Christmas lights on every single house. There were lots and lots of people watching the lights and we saw Santa Claus with his Elves giving out sweets and presents.
We also saw Baby Jesus in a play called The Nativity. The play was about Baby Jesus being born in stable under a bright star. There were Three Wise Men who brought Baby Jesus presents and the Angels came down to celebrate the Birth of Baby Jesus. There were also Shepherds who told everyone that Baby Jesus was special. Mary and Joseph (Baby Jesus' Mummy and Daddy) put him in the stable in a bed called a Manger.
We saw a white dove with the angels and I stroked it. The Shepherds had a stick called a staff and had sheep and goats.
Everyone sang Christmas carols and I enjoyed myself.

On the beach at Glenelg

Today we went to the beach at Glenelg which is close to my Baka's (Grandma's) house. We played on the lovely sandy beach and collected shells. We met some people from UK who had driven from Melbourne and were very tired because it took 8 hours.
Jai went swimming with Mummy in the sea. Jai was naughty because he threw his shoes in the water. Jai did't wear any swimming trunks!!

The Rodney Fox Great White Shark Experience

We went to learn all about Great White Sharks because my Mummy went diving with Rodney Fox in a shark cage in 1999.
Mummy and Daddy told me everything there is to know about Great White Sharks but I just had to see for myself.
I think the most interesting thing was seeing a film of Rodney Fox when he got bitten by A Great White Shark in 1964. He survived the attack and dedicated his life to researching the life of The Great White Shark.

Semaphore Beach

We went to Semaphore Beach Tonight to watch the lovely sunset. Daddy took lost of photographs for his website www.pamaya.com

Santa Claus Came To Our House!

After I wrote a list for Santa asking for presents because I was a good girl, he gave me a lolly and a dolly and a camera and a pink tent and a Dora computer.
Santa was dressed in a 'coch' tunic and pants with a 'gwyn' beard so that he couldn't kiss with his lips.. When he arrived he said Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho!
Santa also brought presents for Pepa (my Cousin) and her Mummy (Nina) and Cica (My Auntie) and Keka (my Auntie) and Baka.
Santa brought presents for my Brother Jai; a bike, a colouring table and lollies and a Bob The Builder

Hello To Everyone in Bodafon School

I Just wanted to say hello to everyone!!

Keka's Birthday

Today was my Strina 9Auntie) Keka's birthday today. We had a lot of people at our house and ate lots of nice food on the 'barbie' including Tuna, Squid, Snapper and of course we had to toss another prawn on as well!!

Toddlers Group

Today Mumy took Jai and me to a toddlers group.

It was in the same place that Jai had his Christening party. I met lots of Australian children and enjoyed playing with all the games and books.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

I spent my first Day in an Australian School yesterday. I made lots of new friends and a big girl called Layla looked after me. The schools is very different to Bodafon in Wales. Instead of wearing jumpers and tights we wear skirts and sandels. When we go outside instead of putting our coats on we have to put suncream on to protect our skin from the very strong sun's rays.

I will send some pictures of the school and my friends when I have a minute!!

Last night we went to a 'Party In The Park' which was a fun evening with lots of other children singing Christmas carols and getting their faces painted and playing on a bouncy castle.

There were lots of different boys and girls with darkskin and olive skin, light skin and green skin (that was an Elf!!) It was interesting to see lots of different people from different places and to play with them.

Just like in Wales, it is going to be Christmas soon. Its funny to thing that Christmas things still happen even though the weather feels like summertime. Everyone was wearing teeshirts and skirts or shorts and singing 'Silent Night' and 'Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer'. It was very strange when Santa Claus appeared in his red suit and white beard. He came along to ask if we had been good and what we wanted for Christmas. I told him that I wanted a Barbie tent!! I hope he thinks that I have been a good girl...

Learning Numbers

Daddy helped me to learn numbers today. I have coloured in all the numbers I know so far.

Our First Day in Australia

The next day we went on an aeroplane to Australia to see Baka, Keka, Baka Vlasta, Strina Maja, Striko Stevo, Branks, Mima, Pepa, Nina and Cica.

Mummy and Daddy put the swimming pool up and put sand underneath it then filled it with water and I went for a swim with Mummy and Jai.

The weather is warm 32 degrees Centigrade, its not raining and the colour of the sky is blue.

An Evening in Hong Kong

We went for a walk in the evening and saw a lot of Chinese boys and girls who were very friendly.

We saw an elephants tusk called ivory. There were lots of people and a house carved in the ivory.

We also saw babies/nymphs carved in green stone called Jade.

Afterwards we looked at pretty lights on the skyscrapers from our bedroom window.
After the lightshow we went for a walk in a place called ‘Kowloon’ We saw lots of Christmas lights coloured white, pink, red and silver.

We walked along a busy road with lots of cars and noise. Old men were sleeping in the shop doorways. We saw a Mc Donald’s but Mummy and Daddy wanted to eat Chinese food.

We went to a night market and saw ladies buying silk dresses and watches, my Daddy bought me a ‘Bratz’ watch.

We went to a street cafe and ate Chinese food with chopsticks and I ate some fruit from Hong Kong called ‘Custard Apple’. Then we went back to the hotel to sleep.

Our Day In Hong Kong

The next day we went for a walk and Jai ate my lolly. I bought a small black Chinese dragon with my pocket money.
There were lots of Christmas trees on the beach by the sea.
We went on a boat trip across the sea so that we could go up a mountain on a tram. We went up a very steep hill in the tram and we saw lots and lots of skyscrapers from the top.

I bought a Chinese silk outfit which was pink and I bought pink shoes to match

I met a princess and a Kung Foo Fighter.

Arrived In Hong Kong

We got on a fast train which took us from Hong Kong airport to our hotel
When we got there, Mummy, Jai and Me played with playdoh and stickers. There was a lift with big sliding doors and mirrors inside.
We were staying in room 15 on the top floor. Our bedroom had two big windows. We went for a barbecue and played on the slide.

At night we went for a walk and saw a fountain and we stroked a lucky lions paw.

Left For Australia

Packed our bags with clothes, Christmas presents, books to read, games to play, dollies and clover (my bedtime cuddly dog) but we forgot our tooth brushes!!

A man with a big car came to our house to take us to the airport. He put all our bags in the back and Mummy, Jai and I sat in the back of the car and we went to the airport.

In the airport we looked through the windows and saw the planes taking off. We gave our bags to the man at the airport so that he could put them on the plane.

We got on a little plane which took us to Hong kong. On the way there I watched a Peter Pan movie on a little TV and listened to it with headphones.
We had a nice burger to eat but didn’t have any ice cream...
The flight took 4 hours and a sleep then another 2 hours. Then we arrived i Hong Kong.
