It is just like the sahara, but no sand, in the sahara the air is really hot but here it is really cold and crisp and rips the warmth out of our bodies.

Hello everyone, I'm currently in the Amazon. The Amazon is so big and green. You know the amazon river holds 25% of the worlds water and the amazon rainforest has 20% of the worlds oxygen, so your not likely to sufficate here. The amazon is 1.7 billion acres, massive, and 1.4 billion acres are rainforest. This region belonging to 9 countries/nations: 60% of the amazon is in brazil, 13% in peru, and the rest in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. The rainforest is calm and tranquil one minute and teeming with wildlife, insects , birds and animals the next. Did you know that many of the ingredients neede to make up todays medicines comes from plant species in the Amazon. Another great creation of Gods.

The Himalayas

The Himalayas strech over 6 countries including : China, Bhutan, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Nepal. The air is really crisp and clean, but so cold. Every one tells me how easy it is to get frostbite, so I am definately keeping my gloves and beanie on.

Surfer's Paradise

Hello everyone, I'm in Surfers Paradise now. The beach is really good and the waves are excellent too. Apprantly Surfer's Paradise was the cleanest/best beach in 2005 and has been just as good ever since. Theres so much to see in surfer's paradise its amazing. There is lots of tourists everywhere and heaps of Amusement Parks to keep me busy. The other day I met one of the Lifeguards on the main beach and they told me that this beach was one of the busiest in Australia.

The Great Barrier Reef

Hello everyone, I am at the Great Barrier Reef. The water is so cool and clear here. You can see all the marine life around you, the wonderful colours of the coral is amazing. It's got 2500 different types of reefs! There is 1500 different species of fish and it also provides breeding areas for humback whales, sea turtles, dugongs and seabirds. You can see the damage the environment is having on the coral, as some of the coral has been bleached white from the ozones harmful rays. It makes you want to do more to save the environment and all these wonderful creations of God.

sahara desert

Hello everyone, at the moment I am in the sahara desert. I am in the western part of the sahara desert. As you can see it is very hot and dry here, with the temperature soaring around the 50 degrees +, and not much better when I am in the shade. Everywhere I look is sand, sand and more sand. Hardly any vegetation can survive in this harsh environment. My mouth always feels dry and parched and I cannot go longer than a few minutes without water. I have to get out of here to a cooler environment.
