When we got to the Eden Project it took an hour to get there. At first we went to the rainforest and we saw a giant waterfall and it kept wetting everybody who went past it. It was very hot in the giant soccer balls. There were water sprinklers spurting all the water onto the plants and trees so it looks more like a jungle. Then we had lunch. After lunch we went up a grass track and saw a row of gum trees and then we went into a museum and saw a great big pineapple and it was about four metres high and it was made out of a big rock. It took 10,000 hours and it was made by hand and it had big bumps the size of netballs on the pineapple. Then we went on the top floor and saw the pineapple from the top but the bumps were different on the top. They were the size of tennis balls. Then we went to the shop and bought four cacti for Mary and Tony, who lent one of their houses to us.

Hello Ellie,
What fabulous stories you are sharing with us on the blog.
I can't wait to hear more about your time at the Eden Project. I went there in 2001 and I am sure it has grown and changed a lot since then. The big pineapple sounds amazing - what a wonderful description of it.
I hope you have a great time in Portugal and learn a few words of Portugese to share with me. Don't forget to take a book to read in the queue at Gatwick airport - it can be very long!
Lots of love, Sophie
