Hill Holidays














We went up to the hills with Marty, Poppy, Molly and Eva and stayed in a lovely little cottage surrounded by tea plantations. The air is clean and fresh and so cold that you even have to use a blanket at night - not what you expect in Indonesia.

We visited an animal safari and fed the animals from our car. I even got to drive the car with dad's help! We saw a lion playing fetch in the water and a big hippo sat in the middle of the road so we couldn't go forward until he decided to move.

We also went for a walk in the tea plantations. We had a great play together and drank freshly picked tea at a little tea house.

We had a relaxing time until we decided to go home sunday afternoon only to find that the road home had been made one way. So we set off and tried to find another way home. We got stuck in traffic on a pot holed road with me and molly and eva and finn all in the car feeling hungry and tired. After 6 hours we eventually got home when the journey should have taken 3 hours. We rolled out of the car and into bed exhausted.
