Day 2 Destination: Spain
Woo! Spain was so hot! There was a Fiesta going on in Barcelona and I managed to find a Piñata for Jack!
Day 3 Destination: Ireland
Went to Ireland today, it was very nice except all the thistles…
I had Pratties and watched some girls dance to a fiddle playing a nice merry jig! One if the dancing girls handed me a Shamrock which I thought would make the perfect souvenir for Jack!
Day 4 Destination: Brazil
Wow! Brazil is so tropical and the wildllife here is amazing!
There is a HUGE festival going on called Carnaval!
The costumes and floats are all so bright and colourful!
There was a float going round throwing stuffed toys and I managed to catch this Pit Viper Plush for Jack!
(Carnaval is actually on now until the 4th of March!)
Day 5 Destination: Europe
Amazing! Europe has such a rich history! The Romans who wanted to conquer all of Europe, the Industrial Revolution and all it's wonderful inventions, and more! But, my favourite was the Vikings, striking terror into anyone's heart just by the mention! Which is why for Europe, I decided to buy this fake Viking helmet for Jack!
Day 6 Destination: Australia
Australia was scorching! It was so hot I went down to Surfers Paradise to catch a few, It was gnarlatious!
I got this bitchin surfboard for Jack as a souvenir.
Cowabunga!
*Bitchin is surf slang for awesome/very good
Day 7 Destination:Mexico
Mexico was also fairly hot, and when I arrived everyone was on Siesta! I found this paper mâché horse skull used for the Dia de los Meurtos or the Day of the Dead for Jack!
Day 8 Destination: India
India had so much culture! I went to the temples and the statues, it was all so beautiful! I really wanted to go on an elephant ride but I didn't have enough time! But I got this beautiful beaded bracelet from a temple!
Day 9 Destination: Canada
The people in Canada have such funny accents >u<
The maple syrup was delicious!! <3 I saw someone getting maple syrup from a maple tree, it was fascinating!
I have this nice string of ornamental maple leaves for Jack!
Day 10 Destination: Hawaii
The Coconut trees in Hawaii are so big! The milk from the coconuts is so yummy! I watched a special Hawaiian tribal dance and got these wonderful Grass Bracelets
Day 11 Destination: Egypt
Went to the pyramids in Egypt! The way the Egyptians built the pyramids looks so tiring! And all just to bury their rulers, the pharaohs. They had a little souvenir shop near one of the towns selling gold pharaoh bracelets and I bought one for Jack! All though I don't think an actual pharaoh wore these ones XD
(It's on the snake)
Day 12 Destination: Madagascar
I met up with some lemurs and they took me around the island to see all the animals such as the creepily cute eye-eye, o~e
The lemurs were so kind as to make me this lovely feathered armband which is Jacks souvenir from Madagascar.
Day 13 Destination: China
China was so cultural! I went to the Great Wall of China and saw the dragon dancers! While at the Great Wall of China, I saw some golden pheasants. I got this awesome winged Armour based off of Golden Pheasants
Day 14 Destination: Antarctica
Brrr! Antarctica was cold!
The penguins were so friendly though so it was worth visiting.
I also met the scientists that work down there and even got to do an experiment myself! I got to drill a big tube into the ice to collect samples for carbon dating!
On the way back, I took the Aurora Australis back to Tasmania and got this cute Emperor Penguin Plush for Jack.

NiTi, This competition was awesome!!!
(I hope the last one counts because he didn't get the souvenir from Antarctica)
