Amazing Race- Sixth Location

My last location is the Gangetic delta in India who's capital is Delhi. India is bordered by Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan. The Indian Ocean borders it also. The GPS coordinates of the Gangetic delta are 4304 N 0822 E. Temperatures of 50 °C (122 °F) and higher have been recorded in parts of India during the summer and in December and January or the winter the mean temperatures are of 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) in Indian Himalayas. India is pretty tropical but has different settings throughout the country. India's history is more than just a set of unique developments in a definable process; it is in many ways, a microcosm of human history itself. This location is important because it is my last stop in traveling the world! The Gangetic delta is 5386.93 miles away from the Ebro river delta. I got here by a plane, and renting a car. It cost $2,039 for a hotel room, rental car, and flight. My trip around the world was great! It was fun and I learned that all places are different and every place has something interesting about it such as scenery, the river delta's themselves and historical buildings. But I have to admit I am defiantly glad to be home! and my family is glad to have me back to, it was a fun experience and if you ever had the chance I would advise taking the opportunity!

Amazing Race- Fifth Location

My 5th stop is at the Ebro River Delta in Spain, Europe and the capital of Spain is Madrid. The countries bordering Spain are Portugal, and France. This only touches one body of water the Atlantic Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 3729.33 N 4039.90 W. Spain's climate is around the same temperatures as I live in. Spain has beautiful features in some parts but others are differnt with lots of bulls and fighting, just like any other country had differences. The historical rate of growth of the delta is demonstrated by the city of Amposta. The Ebro River delta is 10041.67 miles away from the Burdekin River delta, Australia. I got to Spain by an air plane and using a rental car! It cost me $2,103 to do this and rent a hotel room. I only had one problem getting there when I switched planes I almost missed the next one to get on, oops! The biggest difference Australia is that there are not wild animals everywhere in Spain.

Theres nothing important that we chose about this place but I always have wanted to go there so its quite a experiment. It is 10,143.17 miles away from the Mississippi River Delta. I got to my fourth location by an air plane and rental car to travel in Australia. and No i didn't have any layovers but I had to switch a couple planes.
