Getting ready for a trip.
I’m really excited about my trip to Europe. I haven’t travelled much outside Australia before. Just once, two years ago, I went on holiday to Bali with my family, but I’ve never been to Europe or the US. I often travel inside Australia. Last year I flew to Perth, to visit my cousin, who lives there. It’s a five-hour flight from Sydney, where I live. Australia is a big country! Also, I’ve been to Cairns in the north three times. I learned to scuba dive there on the Great Barrier Reef.
We have just finished packing, and now we are waiting for the taxi to take us to the airport. I’ve never flown on a 747 before. It’s a very long flight. It takes 20 hours to get to Rome. I’m going to watch films all the way. I can’t wait!
