Adventures

Moving houses!!!

Steps to moving houses (well how we moved ours)

1. A soon as the owners leave the house your moving into, pack all the ugly stuff in cupboards and on shelves were you can't see them.

2. Make a list of everything you need for your house.

3. Spend 1 thousand dollars at Ikea getting everything you need (and a fair bit more)

4. Make a human chain to get everything inside the house (especially important when your house is upstairs!).

5. Set up the house and unpack your bags. This includes putting table cloths on all the ugly bits if furniture.

6. Call your relatives and show them.



Gibraltar

On Friday the 7th we went to England, well Gibraltar! Gibraltar is a bit of England which is connected to Spain! So we had to use our passports to get there (Gibraltar is a huge rock).
On the rock we saw some good views, went in this really really cool cave which looked like it used to be water and then dried, went through some tunnels....


And saw monkeys! They were so cute (the baby ones were the best)! 
And a one year old one hopped on my shoulders!!!
It was amazing, but soon we had to leave.

















Interesting facts!

1. I did 1hundred acid drops in one skateboarding session (acid drops are when you jump off this box on a skateboard )




2. A monkey searched through Esther's hair!




3. We went to Arcos De la Frontera one of the prettiest towns in Spain! It looked really pretty with the blue sky and it was built on a cliff! (it was actually very pretty)!







4. I found a huge cola coa.





word of the day!

Feliz meaning happy !




I hope that everyone is having a good time at home and school and work. We are having a good time here!

Location: 11140 Conil de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain

    Glad you're having such a good time Astrid. It makes us very feliz :) You look very confident with your skateboarding and we thought you and Essie were pretty brave letting those cheeky monkeys get so comfortable with you. Great that you got to visit England this week too! Thanks for the tips for moving into a new place... Lucky there's an IKEA nearby. Lots of love, Nana and Farber xx

Exploring Spain

On Wednesday the 1st we walked to MACBA and to get there we had to walk past the Sagrada Familia again. MACABA is a famous street skate boarding place. We stayed there for a while then we walked down La Rambla a famous street in Spain and it runs down from Placa de Catalunya to the port. So we walked to the port and across a bridge that took us to the other side of the water. There we found some markets where we bought some olives. After that, we went down to the beach where we touched the Mediterranean Sea and played with the rocks. Then walked down the beach and saw some awesome sand sculptures that we weren't allowed to take pictures of. After that we went to a park and met a girl from Italy who we played with for a while before going to another skate park which unfortunately we didn't bring our skate boards to. Then we went home. The next day we caught the metro for the first time. We took it to a market, then we walked to a special restaurant for lunch. The food was amazin...

 On Monday the 6th it was Esther's birthday... and Pettie, my aunty had come in two days before to see us! We showed her around the city. She was amazed when she saw the cathedrals and the little alley ways. Next on the list we Esther's birthday but first was the 3 Kings Parade. The people in the parade were amazing, the way they knew what to do and just the way they danced and used their costumes. But it was also from  6 o'clock to 9 o'clock so we had to go to sleep a couple of minutes after it.  The next day I woke up first. Then it was Mummy and Daddy. We silently put the 3 Kings presents in the loungeroom. When Esther and Aunty Pettie woke up, we opened the 3 Kings presents. A soccer ball for Esther and a tennis racquet for me. There were two mystery presents each too. We both got a Sagrada Familia sticker and a bucket of lollies! But the presents weren't done yet. I still had to hide Esther's birthday presents! So Esther and Mummy went outside the apartment...
