Blog update




I haven't written my blog for a long time now, so I decided to just write a quick update.I'm in Sydney now, unloading the doors that we got in Egypt.They are stunning! On Saturday 2 of dad's freinds came over to help unload the door's.It looked like hard work.After about 4 hours they had unloaded all the doors except 1 into a warehouse that we had rented earlier. The last one left was an islamic door.It was the biggest one.After about 1 hour it was out of the container but not in the warehouse.

Back in Greece

We got off the ferry feeling tired but that didn't matter.First we arrived in Makrihelo at first (I think). It was very different to be back in Greece but nice.Once we had reached Methoni we went straight to our house well (Chrisanthe's house).I was so excited I ran to the house and pushed the door open it was amazing.I went to my room it had changed alittle.Then I said to mum ''where is everything'' she said it was in the basement so we rushed down and got all our stuff such as: Gondolas,teddy bears souverniers and clothes we looked at every thing about 5 times and then went to the park.At the park we saw Thori, Yani,Yani ,Evthoxia,Christiana and Lemonia.From that day on we went to the park every day until school interfiered.We booked in to school and went to it every day. Iwas in a 3/4 class (like Australia) and Olympia was in a 5/6 class. The school was a very naughty school.For instance,When someone does something naughty like play on teachers phone the teacher grabs them by the ear and smacks them on the head with 5 books.It's not a pretty site. Anyway you get used to it after a while.But dont worry they do abit of school work. We got about 10 books made up of : 1 religion book,2 history books,2 language books,2 music books,2 math books and 2 English books.School life went on and on until the last day we had to leave.

On route from Dover to Dunkerque

We got to Dover feeling really exited about being on a ferry,but once we got on it felt normal.The ship was a big ship one that didn't have any cabins but that didn't matter because it wasn't an over night ship. The first thing we did was have a look around the ship. On our way around the ship we decided it was time to have a nibble before we reached Italy so Olympia and I had a packet of chips. I had salt and vinegar. When we had left the cafe we went to have a look at some shops.Olympia and I tryed on all the perfume in the shops,Unfortunately we got caught by the shop keeper and she told us off.Just when we were about to head to the deck to have a look we were told that the ship was in Italy and we had to go to the car.We rushed down to the car and got ready to drive off we were the 4th last to drive off. Atleast we were in Italy.

Goodbye Egypt, Hello England

My journey back to England


A few days ago Mum and Dad tried to book tickets on a flight called Thomson that goes to England, so they got on their computers. Mum booked her and me and Dad booked himself and Olympia and they pressed ok at the same time and guess what ? Mums computer went back to the start and said "you have failed" and Dads went to something that said "you have succeeded". What! They have got a flight and we haven't! Oh what a nightmare! So it seems like we have to stay in boiling hot Egypt for the rest of our lives while they get to go to the nice cool England.Thats Unfair.Finally after a few days we managed to get tickets for the same flight and all was well except for the fact that ours were more expensive. So after a fantastic week in Dahab we were on the flight watching T.V of course. But when the Dinner came around Olympia and I had to pay 7 english pounds for each one. And mum and dad got theirs for free, Of course! because Dad was sitting in mums and my seat, so thats why mine and mums were more expensive! So we paid for the meals and a few hours later we were Finally there. . It was 15 degrees not 38 like Dahab. Goodbye Egypt. Hello England.

My amazing dive in Dahab - Egypt

A few days ago I was in Dahab ready to dive, I had my regulator, my wetsuit, my tank, my booties and my fins. I was going to dive in the Red sea again! My instructors name was Mady but I also dived with Dad seeing as he is a dive master. We got in the water at about 11:00 and Mady and Dad taught Olympia and I a few sign's such as: I have a problem,Can I watch you do that again?, can we go up a little bit. and are you OK. She also taught us how to clear your regulator in 2 ways! When we finally got under we went straight down to about 9 meters when my regulator fell out of my mouth. Oh no I had to clean it.I cleaned it with number 2 way which is to take it out of your mouth, put it upside down and then put it back in your mouth and blow as hard as you can. Fortunately it worked it was safely placed in my mouth and it was clean. Anyway what I saw was: The Racoon butterfly fish,The red sea banner fish,The threadfin butterflyfish,pipe fish, The half spotted grouper,Lion fish,half and half chromis, Long nosed halk fish,The Napoleon wrasse,The red sea Picasso fish,starry puffer,The red sea ghost crab,hermet crabs,jelly fish,grape coral,finger coral,rose coral,crown of thorns,honey comb coral,brain coral and rough leather coral. That's one load of things isn't it? A few minutes later we had to get out and get dressed to go have lunch with our instructor oh I was having so much fun.

My amazing trip with the rubbish

Today at midday Olympia and I had to go down and put the two bags of rubbish in the bin, the toilet paper one and the kitchen one. We both wanted to take the toilet paper one because every time we we would through it down to the bottom of the stairs and then go get it. But this time I through it down while Olympia tryed to catch it. Unfortunately this didn't work instead it went in a little ditch behind the sink. I went to go get it. It worked,so we went over to the gate only to find it was locked. Me nor Olympia wanted to go get the key so I squeezed the toilet paper one through the crack and chucked it in the bin. Yes it worked! Oh now the kitchen one was to fat. So we got the ladder that we use to get the cats. We got it over (with abit of fuss) and I started climbing the ladder unfortunately it got unstable so I got off and said it wasn't a good idea. So we were trapped. Until Olympia had a bright idea that she climbs the gate and chucks it in the bin Fortunately it worked Yey we got rid of the stinky rubbish! Oh now we had the ladder to deal with. So we picked up the ladder and just as we were putting the ladder back it fell on Olympia and squished her. Finally we got it up and lived happily ever after.
