Kaleb’s Travels

One day I was riding to school and I saw a storyteller and he was telling a story. I went over and listened, he was talking about an enormous cactus that had an itch. “He jumped up and down and all around trying to scratch the itch, the itch on his foot so bad. When he got to it the itching was gone and he was mangled like a tooth past tube. He is the toothpaste in my bathroom. We got him repaired and got him a home in Paris. When we saw him again he was in a good mood. He was happy where he was in the wilery log . In fact he was happy because all of the people were cacti.

One night I had a nightmare.

In this bad dream my mum called the emergency room at the hospital because I had turned into a prawn.

When we got to the emergency room everyone started screaming because there was a huge talking prawn on a stretcher. We got to the doctor’s office and she got started with the explaining. “He was diving with his father and apparently he swam up to a prawn and just turned into one himself. His father fainted and sank, because he’d just seen his son turn into... this... this thing,” said my mother.

I don’t know how to explain it. Was it crazy? Was it exciting? Or was it plain boring? Well, it was all of them.

Today we went to the “Parque Central” in Granada and waited.

...

But we weren’t interested in that. We were waiting for something else... something to move... something to happen.

Suddenly, a horse came by and fell over on the slippery, wet road.

There are 2 children first: Howie and Eddie. They are good friends. Eddie has a poor, sick and weird great-aunt: Aunt Mathilda. Howie and Eddie are going to the park to meet some other friends and end up going to "CRAZY" aunt Mathilda's house to give her supper. She says go and water the garden. When they're in the garden, Howie sees something in the attic window. He thinks it's a ghost.

Do you remember me telling you how my iPod broke back in Perth?

On my birthday we went to the London Eye, an amusement arcade/surprise and the London Aquarium (the arcade was a surprise at first).

The next day we went out to look for some breakfast and we couldn't find anything so we went to a shopping centre which served breakfast and I had some macaroni and cheese, Pop had a burger and Nana had bacon and eggs on toast. We went back to our relatives house and stayed until lunch and now I will introduce them. Daphne is my great-great Aunt and John is my great-great Uncle.

After doing a lot of things in London we went to Birmingham and stayed in a hotel that was called “The Holiday Inn”. On the train to Birmingham we had some food. The food was nice, but we also brought other food just in case we didn't like the train food. When we got to Birmingham we could see the hotel from the train station because it was so big and it was only down the street. We had a suite at this hotel and I have only ever seen hotel suites in movies, but it was just like I thought it would be.

The next day, Pop and I went to the science museum in London. On our way, we went past a playground that had “Princess Diana Memorial Playground” on the gate it also said “Opens 10:00AM”. Poppa said “We should come back later” and I said “Yay!”. So we kept walking to the museum.

On the 3rd of March, we went in my uncle Ben's car to Windsor Castle. We were in the car for at least two hours and I fell asleep. The next thing I knew I felt a tap on my head and, when I looked up, there right in front of me stood Windsor Castle.
