Kumaon

So, I again am apologizing for not posting earlier I actually forgot I had this blog.

we stayed in an Airbnb, and the house was also beautiful but we had ticks in the pillows and we learned a valuable lesson, always bring bug spray, especially in mountain/valley sort of terrain.

Rishikesh

Rishikesh is a small town in the Himalayas. The Ganga River flows through it. Lots of tourists visit it, people go there to meet with saints, learn yoga and bathe in Ganga. People also do adventure sports like white water rafting, swimming, and trekking. You can also float Diya boats. They are made of marigold, paper bowls and finally Diya flames. The Ganga comes from a glacier called Gangotri and the water is very cold. There are 2 banks. On 1 side there are 2 ways to go in the river: sand and stairs. And on the other side there are only stairs. To go to the other side you can go on 1 of two bridges, one on the side with stairs (the one with sand as well) or go with the other bridge closer to the mountain. Oh, I forgot to mention there was also a ferry to get back from either side of the river.

Hong Kong

When we landed in Hong Kong my mom told me we were staying in the airport hotel, but I said we were not staying in the airport hotel, and I was right. We were staying in a place Called Marriott Sha Tin (Sha Tin was the name of the island the hotel was in) Hong Kong is made up of islands. After we stayed in Marriott, we went to Hong Kong Disneyland hotel after we checked in, we went to bed. The next we ate our breakfast and went to Fantasyland (A part of Disneyland) were Elsa world would be but when we got there it started to rain so we went on a indoor ride but it was so boring after that we went to Tomorrowland(Another part to of Disneyland) and went on a ride were we shot alien technology with laser guns and then after the ride stopped at the gift shop we bought A spider man Lego set and some raincoats and before we left Disneyland we bought my sister a puppet and that’s it.

Dharamshala

For Christmas eve, we went to Dharamshala. To go to Dharamshala, we had taken a train to the nearest train station. But, there was bad luck and the train was canceled after arriving at a place before Chandigarh. Then, we took a bus to Chandigarh. Then from Chandigarh, we took a taxi, a big Traveler, and arrived at the (Dharamshala) hotel at 1:30 AM. I woke up quite late the next morning.

We stayed in a hotel for a few nights with my friends and family. The hotel service was nice.

There were delicious chicken momos. We enjoyed them in my friend’s room. We stayed next door at the hotel. We also enjoyed room cinema at their room.

From the hotel we took our Traveler, and walked a long trip to arrive at a majestic waterfall. There were rocks on which we could sit. My father, mother, and little sibling were eating spicy Maggi, and we were also eating momos, my favorite food!

Enjoying the waterfall in Dharamshala

We went to a cafe three-time and had a lot of cakes and cookies there. We also had mineral water and mignon cookies.

Chandigarh

Train to Chandigarh

Chandigarh is a clean city, sorta like Switzerland. There we visited a place called Rock Garden. We saw very very fun things like swings. The garden feels like a maze. There was a temple with a waterfall coming out of it.

There was a nice cafe. We had pizza for lunch and marrons for dessert.

The toilets were not very clean. The toilet was too high for me to reach, too. There were a lot of swings at the end of the park. My friend’s mom got me a slinky and helped us on the swing.

New Delhi / Noida

New Delhi Metro train is very cool. I visited my aunt during Diwali last year and played in a park near her home. I also enjoyed my favorite chicken soup at a Chinese restaurant in Central Delhi. I award them a five-star rating.

But before going to New Delhi, I went to Noida to see other family members. There I saw a very shy dog and went to a park that had a pirate ship. I also watched video and played games on iPad. I had a movie night with two new friends.

In Noida, we went to a wonderful place called Chokhi Haveli. It had a lot of spicy Indian food. The puppet show and the magic show were amazing. A snake fell on my hand; but don’t worry, it was fake.

Lake Geneva

Rating: 5 out of 5.

(also called Lac Leman) – Many people are crowded there. You can make sand castles. The waves can ruin the small castles so you should make big ones. My favorites beach activity is swimming. You can go on a ship to France on the lake. Don’t go too far; I am not sure; there might be sharks? But the lake is real beautiful. Because of the sea weeds sometimes it becomes greenish, but otherwise its blue.
