I arrived in Vietnam first. I was on a package tour,


which meant that I didn’t have a lot of freedom to go
off on my own. There was an activity planned for us
every minute of the day, and we saw some of the most
beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen in my life. We were
also taken on an ‘island-hopping’ trip to see the islands
around there, and that was on a special type of
Vietnamese boat called a junk.

I’d just won some money, so I decided to treat myself
and my friend to a luxury holiday travelling around the
islands of Indonesia. We were there for three weeks
and travelled to about ten different islands during that
time. I think Indonesia has the best beaches in the
world! We had some really good meals, too, like ayam
bakar, which is a delicious spicy chicken dish.
