More sailing

We thought we would send you one last message before you go on holiday on Friday. We will be back in NZ by the time school starts again.

As you can see by the photos we are still having a great time on the yacht sailing around he Greek Island. We just love the warm weather, the sunny days and the warm water to swim in. We even got to have a turn at steering the yacht.


After we finish our sailing holiday we will say goodbye to our new friend Flynn, and travel by bus to Athens. Our next trip is then going on the ferry to Naxos. Kermit is getting very excited because he has been before and is looking forward to seeing Averil, and her family. Averil is a friend of Mrs Perry, and she grew up in Runanga. We will send some photos later for you,

Sailing holiday

This week we have been on a sailing holiday in the Greek Islands. We flew in big jet from London to Athens. Then we had to fly in a smaller plane to Corfu where we got on the yacht called Sirius. We have another new friend called Flynn. He is Irish but comes from a classroom near New Plymouth. Each day we sail to a new place. We moor on the water front right beside the restaurants in the town. During the day we sail on the very blue water. We stop in a small bay for a swim, and some lunch. The weather is fantastic with hot days and warm water for swimming.

Camping and the Green Kermit Car.

We went camping in the Peak District near Manchester. The car we hired was a real Kermit car and we loved it.

 

The camping ground had a playground and we loved playing on it and meeting lots of children. They were having their summer holidays because it is summer over here. It is the opposite of NZ. Soon it will be autumn and you are starting spring.

 

The Queens Holiday House

This is Sandringham Palace. This is Queen Elizabeth's holiday home. In New Zealand we might call it a bach or a crib. How would you like to have a holiday in this place. There were lots of gardens and parks to play in. We weren't allowed in the house. I bet it would be great for playing hide and seek.
