Fifth Location

Lake Dey Dey is in South Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra. No countries border Australia because it is a continent surrounded by the waters of the Indian Ocean. It is very hot and humid in Australia. There are lots of beaches and kangaroos there. Dutch explorers first sighted the landmass in the 17th century. Lake Dey Dey is important because Australia is a country and a continent. Lake Dey Dey is very far from Lake Victoria because they are on different continents. I got to Lake Dey Dey by a plane which costed about $500. The only problem I had about going to Lake Dey Dey was that i was so far away from my family. I would say the biggest difference between Lake Dey Dey and Lake Victoria is the size because Lake Dey Dey isn't big at all compared to Lake Victoria.

Forth Location

Lake Victoria is in the country of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda in Africa. The capital of Tanzania is Dar Es Salaam, the capital of Kenya is Nairobi, and the capital of Uganda is Kampala. the countries that are touching Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda are Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Zaire, Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The Indian Ocean is touching them. The GPS coordinates are 1°S 33°E. It doesn't get to hot at Lake Victoria, it usually is around the 20 degrees area. Lake Victoria is very calm and pretty but looks a lot like a Ocean. It is very important because it is one of Africa's great lakes. Lake Victoria is very far from Lake Ladoga because they are on whole different continents. I got to my fourth location by a plane. I would not have any layovers on the way. It will cost around $344, plus the cost of a hotel which could vary anywhere from $100-$60 a night.

Third Location

The Lake I am visiting is Lake Ladoga which is in Russia, a country of Europe. The capital of Russia is Moscow. The countries that surround Russia are Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine. Russia is touching the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea. It is usually hot there. Russia looks alot like London, where there are a lot of castle looking buildings and is city-like. From about 1500 BC the Slavs, an Indo-European group, settle in the region of Poland and western Russia. Lake Ladoga is important because it is the largest lake in Europe and the 14th largest in the world. It is very far from Lake Titicaca to Lake Ladoga because they are on different continents. I got to Russia by a airplane. It would cost about $530 for a plane and $ for a hotel. I did have a bit of a problem traveling all the way to Lake Ladoga because it was so far and it was on a different continent. The biggest difference between Lake Ladoga and Lake Titicaca was that they are from different continents and very far away from each other.

Second Location

I would like to visit Lake Titicaca which is on the border of Bolivia and Peru. The capitals of Bolivia are Sucre and La Paz. The capital of Peru is Lima. The countries that surround Bolivia and Peru are Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. The body of water that touches Peru is the South Pacific Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 15.836389°S. It is tropical wet and highland in Peru, and tropical wet and dry in Bolivia. Peru has a lot of mountains and Bolivia is mostly calm but both look almost middle ages. The main language of Peru and Bolivia is Spanish. Lake Titicaca is so important because it is one of the highest commercially navigable lakes in the world.
