COCO THE KOOKABURRA

April 21
Dear Mr Fleming and 7A,

I'm in Israel at the moment and I am going to Istanbul on Monday. I'm leaving to go to the airport at 1 am. I went to visit a kibbutz and I saw a boat that people think is about 2000 years old. It is called "the Jesus boat" and it was found on the bottom of the Sea of Galilee.

In Egypt I met a 94 year old man who was a water boy that discovered the tomb of King Tut. Howard Carter was about to give up his search and return to England when the water boy uncovered part of the tomb while playing in the sand in between fetching the water.

I have been to the Dead Sea where I watched Suzy float. I have been to almost every other place in Israel.

Looking forward to being back home with you next week.

Love, Coco xx
