Well, let's begin. A good way of getting over jetlag is to just chill out for the first few days of holiday. If you want to do this, it's helpful to be having a lovely long holiday (3 weeks minimum) and to be staying with lovely friends who are also happy to just chill out.
So our holiday began! Our first day was a Friday so everyone else went about their business and Sian took us out to the centre of Sandgate for a playground/coffee combo. A combo that would repeat many times during the holiday.
Here you have Marisca doing jumps on the way to the station.
And here is Tom playing at the playground. It's much like the playgrounds we have here, but instead of pigeons they have ibises which came as something of a surprise. Tom continued to call them chickens though, the same as he does pigeons despite being 5 times the size of pigeons. Ah well.
What else did we do for the first couple of days? Well, Marisca got to know Jess and Anna and were soon as thick as thieves. It was quite fun to watch the older girls jockeying for position as Marisca's favourite until they worked out they could all play together nicely.
On Saturday (I think...) we took another trip to Sandgate to see the sea and have fish and chips (then coffee and a playground). The fish was very good, the chips fine, and the ginger beer also very tasty.
And then a stroll down the beach for Marisca to do some jumping and Tom to do some landscaping.
A good start to the holiday!
