A trip you can never imagine!

A trip you can never imagine!
Spain

Last year in November, I went to Spain for two weeks. To get to Spain, it took 30 hours! First we flew from Auckland to Hong Kong, then we flew from Hong Kong to London. After having six hours of rest time in the Air New Zealand koru lounge. From London we flew to Barcelona, Spain.

We arrived in Fira Palace, our hotel. We felt very tired because of the time difference New Zealand is twelve hours ahead of Spain.

The next day we wet to Barcelona Zoo to take a look at the animals. The day after that we went to the science museum called Cosmo Caixa. It also had an indoor tropical rainforest. On the night of my Mum's birthday, we went to the magical fountain. There was a show that happened every night at 8pm. The fountain shines with lights and water and there is music. No one is in charge of the show. It is automatic!

The next day we went to Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia. A famous monument in Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia was made by the architect Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi died in a trolley accident during the process of building the monument. 1o years later they decided to complete the Sagrada Familia closely following Gaudi's design.

The next day we flew from Barcelona to Valencia, Spain. We stayed in Palacio de Congresso in Eurostar hotel and Novetel hotel. In Valencia we visited the largest aquarium in Europe! In the aquarium we saw a really cool dolphin show.

We also went to a really nice restaurant called Pepe Pica and ate some delicious spanish food. We really enjoyed our trip to Spain. We flew from Valencia to Barcelona to London to Hong Kong then Auckland. We arrived late in the night and went straight to school the next day.
