a day in Mahon...

went to Mahon today to the market. its a really nice place where you can pick up some fab things. its so colourful, and you never know what you will spot next!these are a few things i picked up, a shell ring.some amazing cool hair clips.

a walk on the beach...

we went for a walk in the evening on the beach, it was really nice. walking on the warm sand was really nice. while walking on the beach you could see the sandcastles people had made during the day start to get washed away.we went to this bar that my grandparents know the owner. we had cool ice creams in the bar, they are like a plastic toy with ice cream inside...yum!! we also walked around and went in a few supermarkets and shops in the area.ABBA Gold were on in the evening, but we have seen them before...i only problem i have is no one can sing as good as ABBA could, it just sounds weird!

fruit fish

went for a walk after breakfast to get some air..i was nearly on stage tonight...i got to the final of french boules..32 people played!! but i lost out to Richard....i really wanna get that shirt!!

had tea, lots of yummy food again. we had a guy cutting fruit up and making cool sculptures.

a t-shirt is my aim..

..and the morning came and it was the next day! we all went down for breakfast. after breakfast it was time for the welcome meeting. in the meeting they tell you a bit about the island and what you can do. they also told us about the entertainment within the hotel. then this mad woman got on stage, her name was Jo, and she was going to be one of our reps. she was the maddess person i have ever seen...hmm at this point all i could think of was how good last year was...was it going to get better? Andy and Becky were amazing reps last year.

anyway after this they showed us the new prizes that could be won in this silly games they play like skittles, bean bag boules, french boules, so you can have fun, meet people and win a thomson gold prize. the prizes were, a neckrest, a wine stopper, a travel wallet, and a NEW black thomson gold t-shirt!! i was thinking in my head.. i will get one.

we then went to play skittles, dad and vic didnt wanna play, but they ended up playing. we met Jo, and she is very odd. she has the most weirdess laugh ever,crazy lady. anyway skittles was hard as three skittles, one weird ball...and dad won!! and he won a t-shirt!!! played darts later, i could get them in the board...gdad did well so did dad. then had target frisbee..i was so rubbish!! i got one in tho!

then later we meet our other rep jane. she was lovely, really nice. we did some Origami with jane in the afternoon...i thought we would be making cranes and other really cool stuff, but it was just the basics, but still fun meeting new people!

then dinner again, after we went outside to watch the show. dad had to go up on stage to get his prize..he didnt wanna do it. but it was so funny! and he got his t-shirt. there was this really creepy singer on that night...it was weird. watched the sun in the evening, it was lovely.

my holiday day one

ah i am back now from holiday, but thought i would put some posts up of most of the days i was away and what i did. i went on holiday with my dad, mum, sister, nan and grandad.

the car ride in the morning to the airport felt sooo long. when we got there we had to wait for such a long time...i hate waiting around!!

the plane was a bit scary!! it was flying all over the place...crying children...robin hood on the telly...peanuts..a normal plane ride!!

then we landed...ah the heat!! you can feel it straight away. we got on our bus to take us to the hotel. it takes about 30mins to get there...the sun was shining down, it was great.then we were at the hotel; Fiesta Hotel Castell Playa, Arenal D'en Castell, Menorca. when we got to the hotel we walked through the doors, and who did we see, our rep Andy from last year!!! i couldn't believe it. we went over and said hey, it was so weird. he is now the entertainment manager for the whole island. it was good to catch up, and he said he used to work with one of the reps; Jo, and that she was great.

checked in, and went up to our rooms. WE HAD THE SAME ROOM AS THE YEAR BEFORE! haha, that was so cool. i had to share with my sister. we unpacked and then straight down to dinner as we were very late. Yummy dinner was waiting for us, and same faces. it was really nice to be back. the food is amazing, and the cakes and puddings are to die for!!

after dinner we were all to sleepy to watch the show so we all went to bed for some much needed sleep.
