Orientation at the Millenium Hotel
As soon as we got to the hotel (I shared a room with Hannah) I made my mark with my England flag - thanks Ange! Ok so Hannah was asleep whilst I hung up my flag.
However, whilst I was asleep she did this:
The whole event was very well organised and the hotel was lovely. However we did get cabin fever after a while. We had lots of lectures and I had to take a driving test - which I passed first time! In the evenings we spent most of the time in the bar - well the English, Irish, Scots and Aussies did anyway! Here are some of the people I met. Not all of them came with us to Guilford County.
A mixed bag!
2 girls from Ireland. Bernie on the left and Martina on the right (she came with us).
Michelle, Justine (Guilford), Bernie, Martina (Guilford), Erica (Guilford), Penny (Guilford) and me! All Aussies apart from the Irish! Spent a lot of time with these guys and boy were they fun!
On the last night we had a DJ and dinner (it was like a school disco - we even had the Cha Cha Slide!). No Build Me Up Buttercup though! Some of us decided to dress in our football shirts and tie our flags around us. Don't we look sexy! This is a picture of Cate (Guilford), Aoife (Guilford), Emma, Hannah (Guilford) and me!
This is Jodie she is at Guilford and she is a lot of fun! Yes, she knows she looks like Gerry Halliwel! She is from Essex - but I am sure you guessed that!
We had a great night and we danced lots. Justine (Aussie) and I set up a limbo competition and we had a truly international experience. This is me dancing Salsa with some Chile/Columbian bloke!

Hello Darlin'!
You look like you are having a total laugh! Love the flags - it makes at least one of the photos look like a low budget Eurovision Song Contest
Anyway, I'm pleased that you have met Charlie Dimmock but you need to be warned that the bloke you are dancing with has sweaty armpits and his flies undone. Oh well, par for the course in Bransgore, so I'm sure you're feeling at home.
Flat, sorry, apartment!! sounds good and I think you should put pictures of it online. Hope that we can come across and see you! That's if we are allowed to take anything on the plane! I bet you are glad you got there before the current airport/airlines crackdown...!
A year ago today we were in Auckland! And now you are there... Can't believe it has gone so quickly.
Lots of love xxx
