Dear diary,

It's been a week since I moved here to Krakow and I'm trying to get used to my new life. I spent the first days walking around the city seeing the sights. Our flat is lovely, but the weather is so nice that I enjoy spending my time outdoors. It's warm and sunny at the moment, but the people who live here say that in the winter things are different. I really can't wait for the temperature to drop and the city to be covered in snow. Today my parents and I have organised a day trip to the Old Town. We're going to the WawelRoyal Castle, which used to be home to kings and queens in the past but now it's a museum. I'm really excited.

1. Kate moved to Krakow        ago.

A Mexican Adventure

by Anna Stanford

I’ve travelled to several countries so far, but my trip to Mexico last year was the best. Unfortunately, the trip didn’t start very well. When I arrived in Mexico City, I wasn’t feeling well, so I spent the first two days in bed and saw nothing of the city.

However, on the third day nothing could stop me from getting on the plane to Acapulco. I’ve seen people do amazing things, but the cliff divers of La Quebrada were something else! They jumped from a height of 45 metres! I did something exciting too, but less dangerous: I went scuba diving near Acapulco and saw the beautiful statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe under the sea.

During the month I stayed in Mexico, I went surfing in Baja California, swam with dolphins in Puerto Vallarta and climbed Iztaccihuatl, one of Mexico’s most amazing volcanoes. The view from up there was impressive.

I had a lot of fun and I’m definitely going back some time in the future.
