So off i went to TOURS awesome bloody town to spend a week with Tory and her host family (they are the best host family you could ever have beautiful people) First night Victoria and I went to her Rotary meeting it was in a beauiful Chateau.. the view of the town was beath taking. Her Rotary club is alot like mine.. nice people. So nice that I got invited to go PARA GLIDING with Victoria =) =) So LUCKY and just wow. Rowan went to Paris so i didnt get to see him for a few days.

CHARLIE came to Tours on the tuesday!!! I love charlie.. we went out for ice cream and some shopping. The ice cream was really good. I also got some gurguz shorts! it was bloody awesome to see CHARLIE again i love her so much!! Tory and I died my hair but we mis judged the amount and well it went jet and i mean JET BLACk but not to worry since i am writing this blog a month late i can safely say my hair colour faded to a beautiful brown i’m really like it.

 

So WEDNESDAY = PARA GLIDING!!!!

ahh so so awesome, We were collected and driven to the airport thingo (forgotten the word in english) my french at this stage was still average… so i had a little difficulty understanding everything that was said, we were shown the plane and how to use the parachute (just in case!) Victoria went up first.. i tried to watch but eventually she diasappered into the sky ( ok so the sun was bright and my neck got sore) Finally Tory landed and she couldnt get the smile off her face.

 Then it was my turn to go up!!! Yikes…

Once strapped in the plane took us up above the runway the feeling wasEXTREME , with the view of the beautiful countryside. I have to say it looked nothing like Aus, lots of square paddocks and no bush anywhere and the trees where almost all pre planted by humans. but spinning around in a little plane ( forgot the actual name) and i mean around & round & round & round & round & round!!! Was awesome but about the 700th time your head does start spinning but it was EXTREME. Also being able to see entire villages from above was just amazing.. the chateau, the lake and just everything it truly was an awesome unforgettable experiance.    but to top it all off i got to DRIVE yes i got to DRIVE a para glider 4 km above the ground talk about dangerous and just as i got to drive i had this thought ( para gliding is really called para diving!!) So its safe to say i was a horrible driver but i did not crash or injure anyone or anything!!! Proud?? i know i am, i really would like to thank Victoria’s rotary Club for the wonderful experiance I t was bloody amazing!!!!!

 

That evening we went for dinner with victoria’s host parents on the river ( there is this beautiful place) where people dance (romantic old style) and a resturant it was such a lovely place, i wish angers had somewhere like it. We had a really good tasting meal of calamari and Chips. really good sauce to!! After wards we went to the Irish Pub (victorias host mum’s friends with the owner) it was pretty good.. driving home we got a little lost for about 15 minutes or so.. only yo discover we had been on about 300m from the house.

Next Day Rowrow was back from Paris!!! We spent most of the day watching movies.. Victoria fell asleep during dirty dancing..(she loves this movie just as much as me but she was tired) and as for Rowan he did understnad that its the greatest movie of al time and eentually he went off to sleep as well!! As for me I took pictures as i thought it was funny.. (kj i did consider drawing on there faces but these are good mates so i didnt)

We had the best Ice cream in the entire world after dinner that night.. It was from Thierry’s work (he manages the frozen foods delivery supplies place for canteen, hospital and resturant food) We got to tour his factory and it was mazing.. bloody freezing (-15 in one place) but just awesome.. blocks of cheese as large as you table for 300 euro (ok table was a bad example.. but it was just big!! So touring that place was just awesome we got told how everything runs and it was just so cool (in more ways than one!)

 

I got driven back to Angers.. just in time to pack for Piriac the next day.

I had a great time in Tours.. always do hehe
