Swimming in the Caves

We got driven up to a cavern in a big rock. The driver said that there was a beach at the other end of it. 

Inspecting the cave from the outside...

Daddy wasn't afraid to jump right in

JUMP!

Ahhhhh - cold, refreshing and amazingly clear

Eventually all of the kids and dads were in the water.

Daddy and I went into the cave to inspect it. It got VERY dark, but it was amazing. True to his word, there was a rocky shore at the other end. With lots of persassion we managed to convince the others to come to the back of the cave. 

Lady of Leisure

Two of the awesomest days during the whole holiday were the days we spent on the The Lady of Leisure. This was the boat that was owned by the owner of the villa that we were staying in. He offered to take us out on a circle of the island. 

It was AWESOME!

All of us kids sat in the front and rode the waves!

Welcome to Greece.....

Last day of the first half term we got on a plane and headed to Greece.

To the land of sunshine and warmth - leaving behind the land of the cold and the wet (Holland)

Our little jeep - open top to enjoy the sunshine......

View from our little villa that we rented. Situated at the top of the hill there was an infinitey pool looking out over the bay.

2nd place......again!?

2nd place for the 5th time running.....seems like we have a curse.......:)

Oh well. You know what? For the first time EVER - we were mentioned at school! Isn't that pretty awesome?

Well, next year David and Dominik and some of the other Y10's will be too old to be playing in the under 14's - wonder what we'll do now?

Well, let's think about that when we need to. 

Finals - BSN Lions v.s Weird German people who look like they just broke out of jail because of their stripy shirts

Although we won every one of our previous games, we just couldn't beat those stripy shirt's german kids. They were faster at us and had very good strategy. 

We played our very best, but I guess it wasn't good enough. Well, I guess it does help if you have at least a whole two teams on one team. (This means that they are always fresh when they sub).

Oh well, the day was fun and that's what it's all about.

Circle at the end of the game where we tried to speak german and they tried to speak english. It didn't work very well
