           When I came home in Amersfoort from school, my mum told me that we where going to move to South Africa. I didn’t like to go to South Africa because then I will miss my best friend Kyra and my under friends Claudia, Kirista, Lotte, Nicoline, Claire, and Merel. But my parents wanted to go to South Africa, because we went already for three holidays to South Africa. 

          It was a bit exciting when the movers picked up all our furniture and boxes to send to South Africa with the boat. I invited a good friend, Nicoline. We had a great time with the movers. After that we had two weeks with no furniture, only our camping equipment. So we where in an empty house. So I played two whole weeks with my best friend. We played hide and seek and tennis, and we built a big hut. It was exciting. Then we needed to leave for South Africa, and to miss my best friend Kyra for 3 years!
