Around the World in One Day!

Ferdinand Magellan traveled around the world in three years, Jules Verne traveled around the world in eighty days, well, I out did them both! I went around the world in one day! With my sister Heather and my friend Karina, we set out to the city of Zürich, which was the beginning point for our journey.

Our first stop was China, we went to the Chinagarten (China Garden) in Zürich. Isn't it such a cute little garden ;P

Lunch time came and we spent it in Turkey by having our Dürüms. Even though we sat next to a river in Zürich I want to keep with the world tour theme, so I will call it a Turkish river, which is where we ate our lunch while being watched by Turkish Swans :)

Next was a visit to the Stonehenge, more accurately it is modern art in the middle of Zürich that, in my imaginative mind, resembled the Stonehenge. We continued on to a church that was "cool," it felt nice after the hot weather! I am not sure what country that will represent but I suppose I will call it the Vatican since it was, after all, a Catholic church.

We finished our round the world journey by arriving back in Switzerland and enjoying the last few hours in Zürich by the Zürichsee. If you want more information about this historic trip or get our autographs for being the first people to go around the world in one day, just contact either me, Karina, or Heather :D

awe! that was such a creative thing to do. I think you have given me an idea though I will not copy your around the world theme. I have ideas brewing in my mind. You and your friend look like you guys have a lot of fun in the process!

This is such a cool idea!!!
It must be a cool feeling to be the first person who traveled around the world in one day! =P Haha,hihi,hoho.
In German you would comment like that:
"Hesch's dir eifach gmacht, so ume reise!"
Yours, Vera

Cool idea! It doesn't seem as though you visited many countries though... but yet again, if you have to do it in one day you have only so many hours! :P hehe!

Love,
Acacia

P.S. I couldn't enlarge the picures. :(

About the poll: I wouldn't just want to do one thing the whole vacation. I would like to stay home and hang out with friends and travel. But I voted for hanging out with friends because that is the thing that I probably most enjoy doing.

Love,
Me
