Why to Go to New Zealand

A lot of people have seen the Lord of The Rings trilogy and a lot of people liked the scenery that New Zealand born director Peter Jackson put into those movies. He filmed the movies in New Zeland so if you liked what you saw there then you would like what you would see if you ever visited the two islands. Even though the movies sparked alot of tourism in the country alot of people haven't seen these two beutiful islands. From the hustle and bustle of Wellington and to the top of Mt. Egmont, I'm going to give you three reasons, animals scenery, and traveling, as to why you should visit New Zealand.

 

Let's be honest, New Zealand has some crazy animals. For several hundred years being iscolated from the world had given this island nation to grow some great habitats for animals, namely birds as New Zealand has some crazy differant ones. The most reconizable bird is the Kiwi bird. This flightless bird has made its way onto the dollar coin that that New Zealanders  use for currecny, infact the people who live on these islands love kiwis so much that they even named themselves that as whenever people refer to people who live there they refer to them as kiwis. The crazy birds don't stop there as the Kakapo is a flightless parrot, the only surviving one in the world. They can use their wings to glide from trees and to escape predators they can run really fast. Speaking of another flightless bird there was once another flightless parrot that lived huundreds of years ago when nobody lived in New Zealand. This bird was twelve feet tall and dominated the bird eco-system, but it went exticnt in the 1400s when Maori settlers arrived. Being twelve feet tall makes you an easy lunch. Incase you don't like birds New Zeland has one reptile that is related to dinosaurs. The Tuatara males peak up thier backs, which have prickly scales, and scare of predators. Tuataras can live to be 120 years old.

 

Scenery is one thing that people like when they go places for the summer. New Zealand has many places that you will surely not forget. The two islands are green and plentiful with nature. As I mentioned before, Peter Jackson filmed the Lord of The Rings in New Zealand so if you liked all the nature scenes in Middle-Earth then you should go to New Zealand. From the white sand beaches to the top of the volcano Mt. Egmont, New Zealand has places for all of our out of doors activities with many water activities and great hiking area through out the two islands.

 

Traveling isn't too important to some people when they travel but if you are one of those people then you. If you are interested intouring a country of even a continent then New Zeland will work for you. New Zeland has two islands so touring them won't be too hard the islands are small so you can probably take a boat tour around the country that only takes one day. If you are interested in touring a continent as some people are then you can do that in New Zealand as it is just right off the coast of Australia so you can spend a couple of days in Wellington and then go to Sydney for some fun. Now only is it close to Australia it is close to the Oceanic Islands so if you score a cruise around the South Pacific Islands then you are in for a treat, but if you didn't and if you want to go other places don't worry as the Cook Islands and Tonga and the Chatham Islands aren't to far away from New Zealand.

 

So one day in the future when you are planning a vacation, I hope that you are considering New Zealand as an option for where you want to go as it really is a great place to visit.

 

   

  

Why to Go to the Caribbean

Now you probably don't really need an convincing to to the Caribbean Islands, as it is one of the most highly thought of destnation spots for summer travels, but incase you need any convincing at all then I'm here to give you all the convincing that you will need (if any). I will give you two reasons, weather and destinations, as to why you should go to the Caribbean.

Weather is one thing that always effects people when they travel suring the summer. For some destinations it is either too hot or too cold if you are visiting the southern hempishpere. The average tempaerature in July in the Bahamas is 82 degrees Farenhiet where as In Rome, a more popular destination, it reaches 88 degrees Farenhiet. The temperature in the Bahamas is in a good position as it isn't too warm or too cold for those do get too cold in the summer.

 

Destinations are another thing that make people want to go places whiile traveling in the summer, and well the Caribbean has alot of them too. Jamacia has quite alot of places to see and visit when you are on your free time there or are planning a trip to there. The Shaw Parks are one beutiful destination that has 25 acres of troplical nature and paradise with many garderns that will surly give you great views and moments that you won't forget. The Half- Moon for us who like to sample exotic foods that we don't get in the states is a resort that has an array of dining pleasures with four resturants and eight bars. For those who like deep-sea diving and also scuba diving the Carribean had many of those types of places as well of course it is a group of islands. Costa Rica, Bahamas, and Trinidad & Tobago are all great places for us who like water activities.

 

So in conclusion if you needed any reasons why to go to the Caribbean then here are a couple. There are many other reasons to go there and someday I hope you.     

How to Make a Timeline

 

            Step 1: Pick out point of history you want to make timeline for.

            Step 2: Get paper, pencils and colored pencils (optional). I don’t really have any brand to recommend so just use whatever you have available. 

            Step 3: Start by a making a line on the top of the piece of paper and divide the line into separate parts. Depending on how detailed you want it to be then the more parts of the timeline you will have.

            Step 4: Label the parts of history that you want to include. You can make little pictures with something relevant from the time period that you are referring to in your section that you are labeling, such as aqueducts for Roman times or an American flag for the Revolutionary War. This is what the colored pencils are for.

Step 5: Go over your timeline and make sure you’ve added years for the timeline and make sure that every part of history is in the right place and is correct. Remember, you can’t rewrite history.       

How to Make a Robinson's Map

 

 

Step 1: Get a piece of paper and a drawing item. Make sure to use a plain white piece of paper and not the striped ones. Also make sure to use a pencil for any mistakes.

            Step 2: Draw a circle, but make it wider than taller as this is a characteristic off this kind of map.

            Step 3: Start drawing in the continents. Most Robinson’s maps have all of the continents on there. Antarctica is a circular continent which doesn’t show well on this kind of map so make sure you also draw it longer.

            Step 4: Label oceans and continents and seas if they are big enough to show up, such as the Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

            Step 5: Add compass rose on the top left corner of map. If you don’t have room in the top left corner then add it anywhere else.
