Adventurous!!

I have been extremely busy this past week, and feel adventurous!!

Tuesday, I was riding my bicycle with Auntie Rebecca, and crashed into a post! My clothes were covered with dirt, and I have exceedingly purple bruises!
It was an amazing crash, but Auntie Rebecca told me that I landed in an awkward position!!

At Victoria beach, they have a beautiful pier, which Auntie Rebecca jumped off! I even managed to take some photographs on Auntie Rebecca's camera!!

Auntie Rebecca, Erin, Natasha, Eithne, and I drove all the way to Grand Forks, situated in the United States of America, situated in the state of North Dakoda. Auntie Rebecca and I had to have visas to enter the country, so the security guard fingerprinted and photographed us!!

The hotel was excellent, and there was a huge waterpark, with flumes!

Victoria Beach!!

I have had a tough time adjusting to daily life in Canada, but am beginning to feel much more joyful!

Thursday, we arrived at Victoria beach, which is a larger size than England. It is a beautiful place, which I did not appreciate at first!! All the residents are tremendously friendly, and welcome you with a smile.

I particularly enjoy the bakery, where they sell a large amount of treats. For example:-
Cinnamon buns, cookies, sausage rolls, date bars. They are all delicious, and freshly made each morning!

Today, I have been cycling, to take Eithne to the park!! (I didn’t even complain). Auntie Rebecca has helped me very much, and has put up with my stubbornness! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I have even been swimming in the lake, where I played ball, and splashed around, including having my hair wet!!
Thank you also Erin and Tim for being extremely generous, and including me into your family!

Canada!!

I have finally arrived in Canada after an 8 hour flight! (I'm glad it was not 12 hours)!!

The flight went well, particularly as my ears did not pop! Once we arrived, Sean, Natasha, Erin, and Eithne were waiting for us, and gave both Auntie Rebecca and I welcoming hugs!!

Auntie Rebecca has been extremely kind to me, and is understanding!

I miss home very much, because it is a different routine, and I am not used to change!! Everyone has been kind towards me, and I feel like part of the family! I played with Eithne this morning, and she enjoyed it!!

Flying!!

It is only two more whole days to go, until I fly to Canada (for the first time)!!

I have half of my suitcase packed, but I am worried that I may pack too much, and the case will be extremely heavy!

I feel as though I am travelling on an adventure, because it will be the first time I am travelling without my parents! I will miss them terribly, but at least there is e-mail, and postcards!!

I love flying on aeroplanes, particularly taking off, as it feels like a huge rollacoaster ride! I especially enjoy watching the films, and eating the food!!

Bannantynes leisure centre!!

I have finished each of my assignments for college, which is excellent, as I can relax for the Summer!!

Today, Auntie Rebecca very kindly took me swimming, as a guest! I managed to build my confidence skills, but still have a long way to go before I am a champ!

The spa was the best bit, because it was extremely warm, and full of bubbles. Unfortunately, once Auntie Rebecca and I walked into the swimming pool, we were both freezing cold!

I have not been swimming for at least three, or four years, which therefore meant it was rather frightening!!

Wimbledon tennis Chapionships!!

It is coming towards the end of the Wimbledon tennis championships, which have been excellent!! The weather has been appalling, so the players are lacking behind!

In the final for the women, I would enjoy seeing Justine Henin play, because she has never once won the Wimbledon championships! Thankfully, she has just beaten Serena Williams in the Quarter finals, which therefore means that the final will not be a Williams final!!

Unfortunately, Maria Sharapova was beaten by Venus Williams, of whom played like a monster!

The final for the men is definitely the best, where I would enjoy seeing Rafael Nadal play against Roger Federer, or Llyaton Hewitt!! Rafael Nadal was born in Majorca, which is the most beautiful country in the whole, wide, world!
