last stop
The morning i left London CG found a lovely lady to take care of me on the plane and at the arrivals, we left late because some guy didn't pay for his ticket and when we arrived the police were waiting for us all to get of the plane because there was a criminal on the plane, we went and got our bags i said good bye to Margie then found my mummy. that night they had a surprise for me we stayed on the 17Th floor over looking Niagara falls it was amazing we got to go under the falls a i threw a coin of the edge and made a wish. the next night we stayed in Cleveland and went and saw American idol it was cool. and then we went back to Chicago and we ate at "babba gump shrimp co". the day we were leaving we went for a walk on the navy pier we went on the Ferris wheel and i went on those swings that spin and go really high. then we got on the plane to LA and then went from LA to Sydney but on the way home we faced head winds and had to go around them and when we were of the coast of NZ we had ran out of fuel and had to stop in Auckland to re full so we sat on the tar for 1h then we missed our flight to ARM and had to wait 1 more hr then we arrived at my new home.
THE END
THE END

catch up
For the last few weeks i have been swimming in the river because the swimming pool is shut, and when the boys go fishing they make me go and look for the hooks that they have lost in the river.
One very boring morning George came round to our place [Pol was still here] and said do you want to go to limoux on the bikes, and we said yes of course, so at 2:00 we left its about 4 km to limoux then after about 2 km there was this sharp turn and i sped down it and flew of my bike and cut my leg open it was really deep so George gave me his bandanna tie around it and then we carried on,we turned up at CGs work with blood dripping down my leg. it was so deep that now it has scard and my bone has built a little bit of bone on top to protect it, it looks funny.
In ALB there was a big dance festival that started on the Thursday with Panama dancing then on Friday was Cuba and the start of the fete d'ALB the village party, that night i danced for 4 hours straight and in the end i had very sore feet. The day after we ate at a friends house then we went to watch Burkina Faso
and Chile and then at the fete i danced on stage. the day 
after that was carnival a french tradition to dress up so no one knows who you are and dance around the village i went as an All Black then at the fete we left early at 2 am.
We picked up Karina at the airport and since we were at the airport we went and saw the tower and i gave them chocolate as usual and i gave a box to the check in ladies. Stefan has had a new baby.
There was a film festival www.cinesansfilet.com that went on for 3 days in the village the first day i met up with a friend from school.
Then the second night Pol left to go back to Spain, then on the 3rd night it was just the winning films and then an Australian band (Rob Sawyer) played and in the end they gave me their drum stick and a CD signed by the band.
CG Japanese friends, Suzuki sensei, Hitoshi & Shiho came to stay for 2 days and one night this is what we managed to do:
.go to Mirepoix, the market was there it
was huge, and we went for a look round the area.
.we went wine tasting , once in Castel Negre and once in Limoux it was fun.
.went to rennes le chateau looking for treasure.
.we went to arques donjon.
.ville rouge termenes Cathar castle.
.abbey de frontfroide a huge castle type church .
.then we went to the beach at Gruissan.
I went to the beach with Thierry and the gang for the afternoon first we went to the port and got these huge ice creams with lots and lots of cream then we went to the beach but their was no waves so we didn't get to boogie board but we did swim little bit.
Two days ago I went to the beach to stay with Yvonne, Jordan and Kelise for 3 nights and 2 days, the first morning we got up and had breakfast then went straight to the beach and i didn't put any sun block on and had really bad sun burn, any way that morning we made a huge castle / swimming pool actually it was a hole full of water and we made a caste of left over sand that after noon we found it still alive so we rebuilt it. the next day we got up and went to the beach again and made a spa bath very relaxing.
