A VISIT TO INDAH RECREATIONAL PARK During the last school holidays, my uncle took my cousins and I to the Indah Recreational Park. We were thrilled and overjoyed about the whole trip. We went there in my uncles brand new Naza Ria van since there were six of us. We sang songs all along the way. It took us an hour to reach the park. When we finally reached our destination at 10.00 a.m., we were greeted by a pleasant tour guide. At the main entrance, there is a beautifully decorated fountain which contains many fish of different colours and sizes. At a distance, we saw a big pond in the middle of the park. As we walked along the path, we saw lots of beautiful and colourful flowers such as hibiscus, wild orchids, morning glory and bougainvillea. Some were grown in big pots and some on the ground. There were signboards all over the park, telling us not to pluck the flowers. All the trees around the park are labelled with their scientific names. By 2.00 p.m., we were hungry and tired. My uncle took us for lunch and after that we went home, feeling tired but happy.
