well it all started on a fine, well actually cold monday morning, jumped on a train over to the coast of england..then caught a ferry over to france! it was V AWESOME, me and my cuz nina trained into paris that night and was staying 10minutes walk from the eiffel tower and could see it from my room, MEAN MAORI, desided to visit the next day coz we wer tired from the long journey.!! so the next day, early morning we headed up the tower.! it was amazing and spectacular.!! so beautiful and was soooo surprised to see how big france was.!

After that, using the tickets we freely recieved on the boat, we went to disneyland!! haha funny as, jumped on all the rollercoasters, most of them V average but there wer a few awesome ones that we ended up on a few times... our day had almost ended so we jumped back onto a train to pick up our packs from the hostel and then headed to the train station for our onward journey through spain then onto marroco (africa)

BUT

after a series of unfortunate events, like missing trains and walking the wrong way we ended up missing that train by 1-2 minutes! gutted we tried to book another train but the ticketman, in broken english, just told us to talk to the station master, after doing that we wer told that we had to get a ticket, sooooooooooo back to the ticket man we went, and found out that all the trains wer booked, so we tried to sleep in the trainstation to get the first tickes of the next day, but wer kicked out,
so went back to the hostel

The next day, we went in early to try book a train but they wer booked for the next few days, so we wer stuck in paris... i didnt mind haha Paris is V nice.!
after alot of talking and desiding what to do, and talking with other travelers, we desided to head down to biarritz (south france) as we arrived, i jumped off the train... as i was walking i thaught i saw an old mate from litle old nelson, and guess what.. it totally was haha Chris Pratt, my mate from intermediate, who i hadnt seen scince then just happened to be on the otherside of the world in a litle french town of biarritz! was soooo sweet.!!
when we got to our hostel, we noticed that biarritz was a surfy town... so we desided it would be sweet to go surfing and we had all our trains booked a couple a days down the track so it was ALL good!

BUT, with all our worse luck, the waves just happened to be to big, 3m big, the 1st waves that crashed onto the dry sand wer way bigger than me, and only pro surfers could even make it out coz the waves just pushed everyone else back in.!

so we wer out of luck there to, but all good.!! i had the best time in france eh.!! AMAZING

then on the day we wer to leave to madrid (spain) to catch up with our friend, HILLS, the waves were perfect, but we had to leave... but theres always another time, and ive desided that surfing is the next thing i wanna be good at,!

after a train trip from 12-9 through spain we stayed with hilary, twas soooooooo coool.!! she has the most awesome kids shes looking after, David, who is sooo cool, exciting and does crazy flips and dives into their pool, and eli, who is cute as and only speaks spanish apart from a few frazes like hello, how are you? im fine and you? im fine and you? haha so Cute

so in a litl town out of madrid we stayed with them nd loved every moment of it.!!

so even though we missed africa, this trip was still V MINT

I'm talking about hide and seek/spotlight in the park. The corner dairy, hopscotch, four square, go carts, cricket in front of the garbage bin and inviting everyone on your street to join in, skipping (double dutch), gutterball, handstands, elastics, bullrush, catch and kiss, footy on the best lawn in the street, slip'n'slides, the trampoline with water on it (or a sprinkler under it), hula hoops, jumping in puddles with gumboots on, mud pies and building dams in the gutter. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.

'Big bubbles no troubles' with Hubba Bubba bubble gum. A topsy. Mr Whippy cones on a warm summer night after you've chased him round the block. 20 cents worth of mixed lollies lasted a week and pretending to smoke "fags" (the lollies) was really cool!.. A dollars' worth of chips from the corner take-away fed two people (AND the sauce was free!!).

Being upset when you botched putting on the temporary tattoo from the bubblegum packet, but still wearing it proudly. Watching Saturday morning cartoons: 'The Smurfs', 'AstroBoy', 'He-man', 'Captain Caveman', 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', 'Jem' (trulyoutrageous!!), 'Super d'', and 'Heeeey heeeeey heeeeeeey it's faaaaaaat Albert'. Or staying up late and sneaking a look at the "AO" on the second telly, being amazed when you watched TV right up until the 'Goodnight Kiwi!'

When After School with Jason Gunn & Thingie had a cult following and What Now was on saturday mornings! When around the corner seemed a long way, and going into town seemed like going somewhere. Where running away meant you did laps of the block because you weren't allowed to cross the road?? A million mozzie bites, wasp and bee stings (stee bings!).

Sticky fingers, goodies & baddies, cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, riding bikes til the streetlights came on and catching tadpoles in horse troughs.

Going down to the school swimming pool when you didn't have a key and your friends letting you in, drawing all over the road and driveway with chalk. Climbing trees and building huts out of every sheet your mum had in the cupboard (and never putting them back folded). Walking to school in bare feet, no matter what the weather.

When writing 'I love....? on your pencil case, really did mean it was true love. "he loves me? he loves me not?" and daisy chains on the front lawn. Stealing other people's flowers from their gardens and then selling them back to them...

Running till you were out of breath. Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.

Pitching the tent in the back/front yard (and never being able to find all the pegs). Jumping on the bed. Singing into your hair brush in front of the mirror, making mix tapes...

Pillowfights, spinning round, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles. The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Weetbix cards pegged on the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Collecting WWF and garbage pail kids cards.

Eating raw jelly and raro, making homemade lemonade and sucking on a Rad, a traffic light popsicle, or a Paddle Pop... blurple, yollange and prink!

You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents! It wasn't odd to have two or three "best friends" and you would ask them by sending a note asking them to be your best friend.

You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve and tried (and failed) to wait up for the tooth fairy.

When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When 50c was decent pocket money. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10c.

When nearly everyone's mum was there when the kids got home from school.

It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.

When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at the local Chinese restaurant (or Cobb'n'Co.) with your family.

When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed her or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.

When being sent to
