TRAVEL BLOG: My Year Around the World I'm Sara. I'm 12 years old and this is my blog! We left Canada in January when Mum and Dad decided they wanted us to give up our lives in Canada, and go travelling for a year! They said they wanted us to learn about lots of different things around the world by seeing them all! It was the start of a big adventure! On Day 1, we flew to Delhi, in India. What an amazing place! It was so busy and noisy. There were hundreds of rickshaws, motorbikes and cars driving around, and people shouting and rushing everywhere. We spent a couple of days in Delhi and then went by train all the way down the coast to Kerala. The journey took four days! But it was so Interesting to sit on the train and watch the sights out the window. We stopped in a fantastic town called Varkala. There were palm trees on the beach, white sand and great sunshine. We sat on the beach for a few hours and then we decided to do something really exciting! We went on an elephant ride! We travelled through the jungle and across rivers. It was so exciting! It was quite scary being so high up on an elephant, but it was still great fun. Unfortunately, my brother Dan hated it because he doesn't like heights! After Varkala, we spent a few days on a houseboat travelling down a river. We stopped once at a village and met a local family who invited us to eat with them. The food was traditional food from Kerala. It was quite spicy and full of different flavours. After that, the local children raught us a traditional Indian board game called Carroms. We also did some fishing from the boat and I caught my first fish! We cooked it and it tasted great! We're going to spend a few more days in Kerala and then we're going to Sri Lanka. I'll write an update on my blog again when I arrive there!
