We heard a lot of stories about New Caledonia, because my father and my mother lived there for a year when they were young. I went to New Caledonia with my father and my elder brother last year.
We stayed there for 3 weeks. It was August in France, and it was summer. In New Caledonia,it was winter, but winter there was like summer at home. It was very hot.
It took us a long time to get to New Caledonia.We took the train to Paris, and then we took the plane for 22 hours! We still made a stop in Japan before arriving in Nouméa, the capital(首都) of New Caledonia.
In this trip, we did not stay in the same place for 3 weeks. We went around the main island (主岛), and we also visited other two small islands.
The views were very different in New Caledonia: we could see white beaches and in the center of the beaches we could find forests. An interesting finding was that the earth (土壤) there was red. What' s more; there were hills in the North and bushes (灌木丛) in the West.
It was a very nice trip, because the views were beautiful there and the people were very kind. I will visit there again!
