Teddy Goes To South Africa

Barnaby’s cousin Teddy

went to South

Africa on holiday for a month

Teddy travelled to Heathrow airport to catch a plane at 4 o’clock in the

morning.

The flight lasted for 12 hours. Teddy

slept for some of the time.

Teddy looked out of the window on the plane and saw the Alps in Switzerland.

The Alps are mountains.

The next day was very hot and Teddy was very tired so he relaxed by the

pool.

Then Teddy travelled to a camp site to meet lots more friends. He slept in a

tent.

He enjoyed his breakfast

It was very hot so Teddy went on the water slide. Then he had to

get dry.

Teddy watched the barbecue being cooked.

Then he had a go.

Next Teddy went to a farm in the Orange Free State. There are lots of farms in the Free

state. This is what he saw on the way.

He also saw a giant ant hill. You can see thousands

of ants crawling about. It takes

then years to build a home like this.

Ants are hard workers.

A tame meerkat came into the farm house to say good morning

to Teddy.

Teddy saw lots of animals on the

farm and enjoyed his ride on a

horse.

Then Teddy set off on another long journey. It took 6 hours to get to the Eastern Cape.

Teddy saw a river on the way

He also saw

mountains.

He finally got there.

Queenstown is where Nelson Mandela was

born.

In South Africa they call these houses ‘squatter’s camps’. If the

people move they break their house down and build it

somewhere else.

Teddy had a lovely time on the beach

at the seaside.

He met lots of interesting people.

Teddy saw lots of interesting things.

Before he went home Teddy went to a South African school.

Teddy had a wonderful time in South Africa. He saw lots of different places and people and would love to return.
