Olivia in America!

Here is our lastest email from Olivia in America!

Have a look at what she is getting up to!

It is really fun in America. Today I went to Gatorland and I saw loads of alligators.I got to hold one baby gator, two snakes and I got to sit on a huge gator called Jess. Also at Gatorland there was a bird aviary with heaps of budgiesand they just all fly up to you in a big swarm and sit on your head, arms, feet or anything that they can stand on.
Yesterday I went to Ripley's believe it or not and I saw lots of lots of really weird and wonderful stuff.There was a room that was completely round like a tunnel with a bridge running through it. The room spins when you walk through it and even though the bridge doesn't spin it feels like it is spinning. It makes you fall over or no reason because of the illusion.
On Thursday I went to Disney World in Orlando and it was really cool. We went again when it was dark and we saw the Disney fireworks.
I miss New Zealand but it is probably the only time I will get to go to America. It is really funny because none understands our accent so when I said I was from New Zealand they thought I was from England.
I went to universal studios and to the new Harry Potter World and it was amazing.I had a look in the Honeydukes candy store in Hogsmeade and they have chocolate frogs and Berty Botts every flavour beans.
In San Francisco we drove across the Golden Gate bridge, drove down Lombard street in a limosine (crookedest street in the world) , rode the cable cars and had Dim Sim in china town.
I will tell you more when I come back.
From Olivia.


I just received another email from the Nasa with a picture of someone as I was writing this post!

WE REACHED OUR GOAL

We now have had a visit from every continent in the world!
Except for Antarctica but we think that is because penguins have trouble typing.
