A day to remember

04 Sep 2022

It was good to go on a trip on a good day. My father, my mother, my sister, and I went on a trip in the morning. We went to our aunt’s house first to pick up my cousins who had come from America for a school vacation, and then we started on our journey. All of us went to Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. It was good to walk on such a lovely day. We went to lovely places at the botanical gardens. We looked at the rose garden and took a beautiful photo there.  We saw different orchids inside the orchid house and we were amazed. My cousins found a tank full of colourful fish. When we came out of the orchid house, I saw a map of the garden and we went in the opposite direction. Then we found an open area with a few trees. In the centre, there was an enormous fig tree. We ran through the grass field to look at the big tree. Then we sat on the grass under a small tree and we had our picnic. Suddenly my leg started to hurt; when I looked there was a shoe cut and my elder sister very kindly offered her shoes to me. When I returned to the car, I returned my sister’s shoes and used my sandals. We went to Kandy City Centre (KCC) as our next stop. We parked our car at the Kandy Municipal Council public car park. We went to the fourth floor of the centre. We first entered the play area where we started with the bumper car rides. I was sad that I didn’t get a chance to drive. After that, I went to the storm racer area which I enjoyed a lot. There were three tickets left. I was happy this time because I could drive a bumper car on my own. We came out of the play area and entered ‘World Spice’. We ordered two pizzas and two rice dishes; we ate them all and went to the Galataria where we ate a lot of ice cream.  Next, we went to Sarasavi Bookshop on the third floor. I chose two Asterix books and one Tintin book while my sister looked for some books for school; she didn’t find them. My father asked me to get only two books, but my aunty bought the Tintin book for me. I came out of the bookshop very happy with my new books. It was a great trip after years of lockdown. Finally, we left the centre and went to our aunt’s house to drop off our cousins. We said goodbye to them, and we continued our journey back home. It is a good day to remember.    Jineth Indumina Athapaththu Grade 4D Trinity College Kandy
