Me Amelia, you Tarzan

Well I finally made it to Toulouse to see my cousin and what a mission that was only took 14hours of traveling, luckily I had a sleeping train (which was interesting... I swear the guy opposite me was about to drop dead! His lungs must have been so full of fluid he was making more noise that the train, and then he would stop breathing for like a minute before coughing and spluttering and choking everyone awake... bergh!! Even the memory makes me feel like spewing)

So their new house was cool... empty but cool. Spent a bit of time furniture shopping and then furniture building and by the time I left it wasn't so empty :-)

We went to this crazy ropes course thingy. Ariki and Tamati were like little monkeys swinging all over the place while the rest of us were tentatively negotiating our way around. Half way round I got brave and decided that if everyone else can flying fox upside down then I damn well could too. Well that ended up with me getting my hair caught in the slidey thing, missing the rope to pull myself onto the platform and sliding back to the middle of nowhere... apparently my assumption was wrong.

Elroy and I stupidly decided to go the extra for experts route (see photo) , oh the PAIN! It looks easy but I tell ya there is no comfortable way of doing that!

Pretty People

A few photos from Susys wedding. Was an awesome night (even had a few English speakers venture down for it).
