Mt Gambier, Australia- By Anna

When we were in Costa Rica, we met girls from Australia who went to the same Spanish school as us. Their names were Charlie,10, Kadie,9, and Teagan,7. When we arrived in Melbourne, our parents surprised us because they told us we were going to go visit them. So on Monday morning, we hopped in the car and drove the seven hours to Mt Gambier. The drive was beautiful. The weather was perfect and the ocean was so clear. Tash our friend’s mom, recommended a couple places that we should stop so that’s what we did. The first stop was at the Umpherston Sinkholes. Sinkholes are caves which the entire ground has fallen down. It was pretty neat because it was transformed into a giant botanical garden. We also got to see a possum, which looks a little like a squirrel and a rat mixed together. The second stop was to go meet up with them at the Blue Lake. It was so nice to see them again. We took a couple pictures then we went to their holiday house. We settled in a bit and then we went out for fish n chips. They were so good because we ate them with extra chicken salt. The next morning, we ate breakfast and I taught Charlie and Kadie how to play a card game called “Exploding kittens”. At ten o’clock, all the girls went down to the park ( my dad was working). We played in the park while our moms drank their coffees then, we went back to their place for lunch. After lunch, we played a tag game called Camouflage. It was really fun and we couldn’t stop laughing. We had chicken and sausages for dinner and we played more Camouflage. The next morning, we sadly had to say our goodbyes. We packed up our car then we drove away. We are still hoping that they come visit us in Canada.
