The walled town of Arhweiler

On the Monday we walked into the walled city of Arhweile. It wasn't a far walk, but the heat was - let's just say,  Really HOT! The teachers were really mean, making us walk next to the river, where there were people wading. I kept telling my friends that I would soooooo do that!

Oh, just to tell you....my work group was different to my dorm group - my work group was Wendy, Adelina, Saskia and I. We had a teacher called Mrs. Bourne, who was really nice. We were called the Jumping Jellybeans!

My crazy dorm

While in Arhweiler I shared dorm number 110 with 3 other girls. Wendy was from my class, but Laurna and Lauren were in a different class.

Loungin' at the hostel

We arrived at the hostel after a 4 hour bus ride - with a half an hour stop in the middle. Unlucky for us the boy's got to go to their rooms first so us girls were stuck outside. The sun was blazing down on us - burning us, so we sat in the shade, trying to keep out of the sun. 

Wow, this bench is comfy - maybe I could sleep out here!

Here we are, in the front garden of the hostel.

Sunday Morning bus trip

On the Sunday the 27th of June I got a ride into school with one of my friends, Wendy. She lives nearby so she picked up Mommy, my suitcase and me. 

I was going to Ahrweiler, in Germany for a one week school trip with half of my grade/year. We met in the school atrium and left on the bus at around 11.

Kelly, the smaller girl in the pink hat, forgot her passport and Dutch ID. We had to wait for her.

Oranje Oranje Everywhere!

After the triathlon Terri organized a dinner at a Italian Restaurant in the nearby town of Voorschoten. On the way with our bikes there we passed a street covered in orange flags. Getting ready for the world cup. Here in Holland nearly everyone finds a way to celebrate. HUP HOLLAND HUP!

The Best Team!

BSN are The BEST!!!

Guess who were the best team?

BSN!

In total there were 4 people on the podium from our school.

In my category - girls under 14 - I came 5th with a time of 58minutes and 31 seconds. 

David had a time of 45 minutes and 50 seconds.

What's really annoying is that if I had been participating in the above 14 I would have come 3rd.

Oh well, next time!

Finish!!

Here I am crossing the finish line after the 200m swim, 14km bike and 2.5km run. 

Tired, but happy.

Getting my meadal

OH, look, candy! Yummy!
