Our journey down was
uneventful all though slightly damp – a sign of things to come. We arrived and
were allowed to leave our bags outside our allocated chalets and made our way
to the sports hall for lunch and games. A competitive game of football rounders
was eventually won by team Sapphire 24-23.
Last night was spent with
much parading up and down, but the children were way too excited to go to sleep
for hours. The last cabin finally succumbed at 12.30 am and first voices were
heard at 5am. However, there were many bravado stories of midnight feasts and
no sleep all night long.
