Q: What do you get when you cross a kangaroo with a giraffe?
A: Broken Legs
Let's take a journey to the land down under. NO NOT ANTARCTICA... We shall spend our time in a mystical place of joy and hope. We shall see things beyond our wildest dreams. Please note: no unicorns will be seen on this adventure. Let's take a hop, a skip, and a jump (or a plane) to Australia.
Australia is mostly known for the Outback, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Sydney Opera House. It's a given that our first destinations would be these three. We will hike the enormous Outback in search of Kangaroo Jack. We will try to find Nemo while scuba diving and snorkeling. The true thrill seekers that we are will show as we para sail over the Great Barrier Reef in hopes of possibly catching a glimpse of Free Willy. We will also stop at Sydney to listen to some tunes in the Opera House (*side note* I often mispronounce Opera as Oprah).
After the three most common tourist attractions, we will go to the three best theme parks in Australia. The theme parks consist of Movie World, Sea World, and Wet'n'Wild. Movie World has a roller coaster that goes from 0-100 in 2 seconds. Sea World obviously has animals like sharks, polar bears, penguins, and sting rays. The main performance at Sea World is the jet ski stuntmen. The worlds best freestyle jet skier and a former X Games gold medalist team up for the Jet Stunt Extreme jet ski show. Wet'n'Wild is famous for its slide named the Kamikaze. We will plunge down on a tube for a 11 meter drop at a step 70 degree angle and reach speeds up to 50 mph. If that's not crazy then call me Betty White.
Australia at its finest has three main attractions and three insanely thrilling theme parks. Are you ready to rock? Because I'm ready to roll, roll on down to Australia for an out of this world experience. Well, it will at least be an out of this country experience anyways.
This was really interesting, I don't know a lot about Australia, but now I learned that there are plenty of wonders to see. I also enjoy the joke at the beginning, it made me laugh and want to keep reading. I also think it's cool how you acted like you were sort of a tour guide. You acted like you were trying to sell tickets to a wonderful vacation in Australia. You also put some personal flair on it, like you talked about how you pronounce opera, Oprah. That made me laugh. (: Also, there were some FANTASTIC adjectives. Without those adjectives, it would've been pretty bleh. Thanks for the tour of Australia, now I want to see it in person!
ReplyDeleteNice voice throughout the piece. I can sense your enthusiasm about this going on this vacation. It sounds like you have it all planned out. I'm ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this writing style because it had plenty of jokes, yet was still extremely descriptive. Sounds like an awesome vacation spot.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you use humor in this piece. It somehow makes Australia seem like a better place just by telling jokes and getting me in a good mood.
