Green sea turtles are big. These turtles live in the coastline of Australia, Costa Rica and
of other 78 countries. They live underwater, where they can rest quietly for five hours
at a time before coming up for air. The first years they eat plankton. When they are older,
they eat seagrass. Baby sea turtles are in danger. Animals such as birds, crabs, and

My name is Alan Walker. This is my travelling blog! I recently came back from my vacations at a
place called Easter Island and now I’m in Scotland, writing this blog from home. At the beginning, I was
worried and afraid, because the trip is very long. My family and I got there by airplane and stayed in a small
hotel. We were there for twenty days. Easter Island is a fantastic place. There are very nice and friendly
people. There are spectacular beaches and we swam there every day. The weather is usually warm and
sunny, but there was one cloudy day. There are palm trees, too. The food is delicious. We ate lots of fruit,
vegetables, tuna fish and a few lobsters. We also went to see the mysterious Moais. There were many
people celebrating the Tapati Rapa Nui Festival. That was lovely! At the end of the trip I was very tired, but
I felt very happy and relaxed. I had a great time!
I hope to come back soon!
