Photos from scout camp

Hi room 7

Here are some overdue photos of my exciting scout camp.

This is the tent before the rain and after.

We walked in the mountains for many hours with all our gear on our backs the whole time.

I got a new knife!!!

After a hard day we all relaxed (here at the lake Lucerne)

Sounds like you had heaps of fun on you ski day. We have had temperatures of over 30°C for a whole week instead.

Summer holidays

Hi Room 7

I haven't forgotten you at all. I have been so busy... I have just got back from the most amazing scout camp. It was called a Pentathlon because we travelled around Switzerland by train, boat, bus, bike and walking (5 different ways!). We had to carry our bags the whole time and we slept outside in tents made out of canvas army tarps. We walked up into the snow, rafted down a river in a rubber boat, jumped off a 7m diving board, biked about 50km every other day and visited a huge transport museum. We cooked over the open fire and I even ate a carrot...

The photo above is in the city of Zürich, 20min on the train from where I live. The photo below is from the Weisshorn near Arosa, where my family and I went hiking. Yesterday we all went to the dinosaur museum and saw real fossil skeletons of T-rex, Brontosaurus and friends. I have still got 4 more weeks of school holidays. Next week I am going on a rock climbing camp for 7 nights. Will let you know how that was later.

A few answers

The playground at my school is bigger than Mapua school's. We do sport inside a large gym. I am the most popular kid in the class because I know English. There are 12 class rooms and about 200 pupils in the three story school (Robenhausen).

Miss you

Just another day

Hi

The playground at my new school is huge. The school is only 100 steps away from my house. It was my birthday on the 7th. I got a new scooter (Micro) and a guitar. Not far away from us there are some week old cygnets.
We already managed to catch the wrong train once... but get the right bus or train most of the time.

First few days in Switzerland

After a very long flight we arrived in Switzerland in one piece. The in-flight entertainment was cool, so it was not too boring.
I started school on Tuesday. I go home every lunch time (1 1/2 hours) and have Wednesday afternoon off. The indoor Gym is huge and has lots of great equipment. I have already made new friends.

I miss you guys

Last day at Mapua

This was my last day at Mapua School. I'm leaving to go to Switzerland to live.
I am looking forward to going there. We will be able to walk to different countries. Can't do that in Mapua!
Mum will be working right on the border of Switzerland and Germany. A few steps and she could be in Germany.
