My school picnic

We went for a picnic to a planetarium called Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium. We did not go straight to the planetarium. First, we went to a solar hut.I always thought electric houses were better than solar houses in looks. That day(17/12/08)I found out that was not true.

After looking around inside the house, we went out of the house with two people, who were our guides, and they showed us a solar cycle. It was like an ordinary cycle, except that it had a flask-like thing attached to it, which was the battery. On the left side of the battery was a keyhole. You slipped in the key and the motor would start. Last of all, we went to the planetarium. In the planetarium, we watched a show about the solar system. After that we got on the bus and went back to school.

My cycle ride

Last week,I went on a cycle ride to a restaurant called Infinitea.
It was a really hard cycle ride in a place full of gradients. The toughest one was on Palace Road.

I really did not eat much there. I only ate garlic bread. I did not have a leg ache as my mother said I would. I rode 8 1/2 kms to the restaurant on Cunningham Road. I was supposed to ride back in the car with my mom. But I felt good enough to cycle back. So my dad and I cycled back again for a total of 17 kms.
