A 3 am start for some that woke giggling and nervous for their day ahead, heard through the wall. Saxon was the last to appear - was busy doing his hair! We were at the airport on time at 6am. We had a great flight. Bethany squeezed the stressball so hard during take off she has turned the ball's face inside out and was the quietest person on the plane for 3 hours! Ollie's face was a sight to behold. He was enthralled throughout the flight.
We were greeted with typical tropical temperatures when we landed and it was a beautiful day. After dropping our bags at Jean Mariotti we walked into Palm Beach and caught Le Pettit Train which took us on an informative and interesting tour of Noumea.
The kids have been great and loved the day. We were so proud of them as they each went up to their host and greeted them in the correct way, totally embracing the cultural experience ahead.
We have had no phone calls yet!!..... so I'm sure they are all well-settled for the night. I know we are looking forward to an early night ready for tomorrow's morning at school. It's amazing to think you are all freezing at home only three hours away and we are sitting in singlets and shorts on such a beautiful balmy evening! Sorry.....!
Au revoir!
The tis team
