Goa, India (By the kids)

Hello, it is me, I want you to enjoy this blog, so do it. ENJOY IT.
On the 20th we were going to have a waiting day, we’re going to wait because we have a train to go to Goa. It’s also dad’s birthday, my mum keeps saying sorry because they planned it badly. The train was supposed to arrive at 7pm, so we decided to have a birthday dinner, but the train arrived at 9:30pm. When we got there we went to our room and slept.
On the 21st we did a bit of shopping because we have a kitchen, and I’m missing food from home a lot. After that we went home to do some planning (I mean mum and dad do some planning). Me and Emma did some board games and played a bit of a game I call do crazy stuff. We have this spinner thing that we were chucking at each other, it was fun, then we got a ball that I use for juggling and started using it for a soccer ball. Then did other stuff for ages, then we went to have dinner then, we went home and slept.
On the 22nd we decided to go to a waterfall, we had to take a taxi to go there and it was about a 1 and a half hour drive, I had enough when it was only 10 minutes in the drive. When we got there it turned out that the taxi couldn’t go all the way to the waterfall, but we paid the taxi to go there, even though we didn’t. We had to pay for parking for the taxi so they would stay there for when we wanted to go home again. We had to go get a jeep to go there. So we went to go get our jeep but then we figured out that we need to pay for them so we pay and went in to, pay again? Apparently this was for the jeep, the other one was for the entry to the national park (the waterfall was in the national park). When we left on the jeep, we ran into a check point we had to pay entry fees to get in the park, I thought we already did that? When we finally got there it turned out we could only stay for one hour because there was so many people there. It was fun when we got there because there were lots of fish around me, I spent most of my time trying to catch the fish with my hands. When we went back home we went to go to the beach. We were going to the beach because there was a show down there, there was bands playing rock music. Me and Emma spent most of our time running around, at one point we saw some fireworks coming from the other side of the beach, it was cool. When it finished we went home and slept.
On the 23rd we started our day by calling Mathew and Lachi (there some of our friends) we talked for a while (I ate 5 bananas) then we said goodbye and (sadly) hung up. After that we went to a museum, the museum was divided into three parts. One was about olden day transportation, the second was about how they were living without electricity, and the third was about the Portuguese influence in goa. It was interesting, when we were done with the museum we went home and did schoolwork and blog (I also ate another 2 bananas).
On the 24th we went to another museum, but this one was about science museum, it wasn’t about history or old stuff, it was about fun little experiments. Not like mix stuff together science, it was like move stuff around science, still pretty fun, I’m not complaining. My mum has asked (well not asked assigned) me to write a bit about something I’m interested in, and explain it. So what I’m going to write about is that metal can become non-magnetic, that’s right, metal can become non-magnetic if it is very hot. The way they did the experiment is that they get a coil of wire with a magnet attached to it then they heat up wire and then the magnet falls off, SCIENCE!!!!! The point where it falls of is called the Curie point, it was discovered by Pierre Curie, a French scientist, he is the husband of Marie curie and is from the 19th century, HISTORY. It was very interesting, there was so many cool stuffs like that. When we finished we went to a few temples and churches there was this very old one that was huge. Wait, slight problem we couldn’t get in, well that’s annoying. When we finished we went home and slept.
On the 25th we went to another church well actually two still standing churches, one collapsed church. The collapsed one was my favorited one because it has the ruins around it and I like that sort of stuff. We went to the still standing ones first. In the inside there was lots of decorations it was very pretty, I liked it, there was a lot of gold painted stuff, it was interesting. After that we went to some forts, the forts were near the ocean, the forts were really cool it was amazing. After that we went to a dolphin spotting trip, it went for 45 minutes, we saw some dolphins but I didn’t see many, Emma and Dad saw around 20, I saw 3 (poor me ☹☹). When we came back we went back to the hotel and slept.
On the 26th we went to a cooking class. I really like cooking classes, but for some weird reason I don’t like math classes. In the cooking class we cooked Samosas, butter chicken, paratha, poori, kheer and chutney. The results were an Indian mixture of deliciousness, it was YUMMY. When we went home we were very full so we did our blog and we did more blog (and some more blog) and then we slept.
On the 27th we packed up our bags because we are leaving today, on ANOTHER NIGHT TRAIN we’ve been on about ten already well I think, (it’s probably only around 5). So we finished off our blog and we’re going to post it today. I only have today to do because I did the rest yesterday. We’re going to wait around because the trains leaving at 8pm were going to play some board games and read our kindle a bit. We have a while to wait, why waste it. We’re going to play board games, read, (maybe play computer games). Whatever, we are going to Mumbai I hope it will be fun, so I will see you next time, hasta la vista.

The End

HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me am back. Now on to the story.
Thursday the 20th. we were still in Udupi, but we wanted to get out. Plus, it was dad’s birthday, so we wanted to get him a birthday beer. We had a train in the afternoon, so we still had time to do a little something for him. Andrew and I made a presentation. I made a paper one and Andrew made a computer one. I also stole his phone and rapped it up like a present. After that we went to the train station. it arrived very late. Andrew read his kindle, and I draw. I draw lots of dogs.
Friday the 21st. we did some shopping. Then mum and dad did some planning. While me and Andrew played games. We played three in a row, four in a row, juggling, miny cricket, and other stuff like that. That’s what we did for the whole day. It was fun.
Saturday the 22nd. we took a taxi to the waterfall. Then a jeep for the last 12 km. we spent 1 hour at the waterfall. I practiced swimming and Andrew practiced catching fish. It cost about $170 dollars. Then we went back to the hotel. in the evening, we went to the beach to listen to music (to be honest with you, it was rock music). It was pretty good. Andrew and I spent most of the time running in the sand.
Sunday the 23rd. In the morning, we called Matthew and Lachi. It was nice talking to them. I miss them vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish they were here with us right now. Then we visited a museum. We saw lots and lots of olden day stuff. Then back home and schoolwork.
Monday the 24th we went to science museum. There were lots of stuff like marble runs. Well, there was more than just that one. There were so much more than just that. There was an instrument that you just had to wave your hand above it, and it made music. It was awesome. That interested me very much but there was another that interested me even more. There was this chair that had nails sticking out of it. And people were allowed to sit on it. I know what you’re thinking, who would want to sit on a chair that had nails on it. Well, when someone sat on it, it didn’t hurt. Come with me and I will tell you how it didn’t hurt. If there was only one nail, we would have to put more weight on that same one, while when there are more than one nail, it spreads out the weight. So, it seems painful but isn’t as bad as it looks. It was amazing. Then when we were done, we did a lot of walking. We went to a church, but it was closed. It looked beautiful. We were very unhappy that it was closed. Very sad.
Tuesday the 25th we went to two big churches. Then a museum and, hey, another old church? After that it was down to the fort. We then went on a boat to watch dolphins. We saw a few.
Wednesday the 26th we went on a cooking class. We cooked samosas, mint chutney, paneer/butter chicken masala, paratha/poori, Goan prawn masala fry and kheer. Then we had lunch. And off to the marble temple. The whole thing was made out of marble. Cool.
Thursday the 27th is just a pack day. We have a night train, but we have to get out of our room a bit before, but the people who run the hotel let us stay in another room that was not being used. Bye-bye.
