Introduction
This is a journal of my ANDORRA HOLIDAY
⛱️! I went with my mum and with Oak Hall,
a Christian organisation! Andorra is a
little country sandwiched between Spain
and France, and it has a native language
called Catalan. It is a very mountainous
⛰️ region will hot 🥵 and cold 🥶
temperatures. The rocks 🪨there make
hikes and walks difficult💩.
🈷️ They speak Catalan, Spanish, French,
and Portuguese in Andorra. I already knew
some Portuguese from the Portugal trip a
year earlier. Although, `eu só falo un
pouco de Pôrtugues!' (I only know a
little bit of Portuguese!). Apparently
half the population of Andorra speak
Portuguese, so I took comfort in that
number 🧮, I had a 50/50 chance 🎲 of
either being understood or having a bad
time communicating ❌🗣️.
Packing
It was forecasted to go up to 36°C 🌡️🥵!
I brought 3 pairs of shorts 🩳, 4 T-Shirts
👕, 1 pair of trousers 👖, 5 pairs of
socks 🧦, and much more clothing! It was
quite fun 😊 to pack 💼, as it was kinda
like Tetris! 🧳I also brought 2 notepads
📒, some pens 🖋️, my QiYi M Pro 3x3 🧩,
my MoYu Timer ⌛, my phone 📱, and other
fun games 🎮 I could enjoy 😊. Toothpaste,
a toothbrush 🪥 and other essentials were
brought as well. Because of the rocky 🪨
walks🧗🏻, I brought my walking boots 👢
with me!
I was carrying my Among Us bag 🛍️ 🤨
with my stuff and my mum was carrying her
bag 🎒 and a large suitcase 🦣🛅.
The suitcase was checked in ✔️ and my bag
💰 was a bit heavy 🪨!
Journal
29th July
🚐 to train station, 🚆 to London,
Euston, 🚇 to London, Victoria, 🚆 to
London, Gatwick, 👣to 🏨. In the hotel, we
had a small and a big bed. At 🌃, it was
really 🥵. Only 7 hours of 💤! The bus and
train 🚃 🚂 were long, making it hard! 💨
30th July
Got up and treated myself to a nice
Premier Inn continental breakfast
. The Premier Inn was also right
next to Gatwick Manor. I had a few Pain
Au Chocolat, half a sourdough crumpet,
and some Coco Pops. Munching on
Sweet and Spicy Giant Wotsits️, I met up
with Oak Hall in the South Terminal of
Gatwick Airport. The ride on the plane
was nice, I had a sandwich for lunch
and I played a bit of Hangman. The
flight was to Barcelona, Spain,
followed by a coach to Andorra. The
queue was really long, over 30 minutes!
⌚⏳It was really frustrating 😡.The
coach ride was nice, but I was bewildered
by the spice of Takis️! Dinner was
already in our rooms when I arrived!
I settled in nice, and the room was
quite good! The entrance led to a
corridor to the main room, with the
bathroom branching off. The main room
had two beds, with a few lamps and drawers.
Past the main room, there was a BALCONY
with an Amazing View!
31st July
Got up in my new hotel room, and I
forgot I was on holiday! I looked past
the balcony, marvelling at the
mountains. I walked around the outdoor
space, and saw that there was a bridge
over a massive river with a waterfall,
and with a swimming pool on the other
side! I had breakfast and met someone
who had studied language in University,
and had a nice chat about Latin and
Greek. I went on a 8.5 kilometre walk
to Andorra La Vella, where I ate
McDonald's McFlurries! To get there, I
had to slide under a fence, which was
very adventurous! I was quite
worn out.
1st August
I had a nice breakfast and went canoeing!
I canoed at Olympic Park in Spain then
headed to another town, where I got an
oreo ice cream. Other people went kayaking
and paddleboarding. I had a big dinner,
with some delicious chocolate mousse.
2nd August
I kicked the morning off with some
calm mini golf, and nearly got a
hole in one on the hill hole. I
then chilled at the pool for a
while. I was surprised that the
hotel had so many activities!
3rd August
I visited another cool place and
it was really hot! It was a bit
hard to focus on the tourist
attractions!
4th August
Another travel-free chill day,
and I played some tennis and
rested in the refreshing pool.
Not much to note here though.
5th August
I visited a few nice Andorran
villages and there was a high
up church that I had to climb
up the mountain to. I also
bought an Andorra hat!
6th August
I took the flight to London
and the sleep wasn't was not
as hot as it was on the 29th.
Passport Control didn't take
as long this time.
7th August
And this is where the story
ends! I returned home to
Manchester and enjoyed my
own cozy bed!
