The drive from the aquarium went smoothly although too much chatting on one coach and too much Baby Shark singing on the other meant DVDs were a necessity for adult sanity to be maintained. Everyone fell into a deep slumber (except the drivers thankfully) only interrupted by the occasional ‘Are we there yet?’ Finally, however, at around 7pm local time, we were indeed there and with only one person using a sick bag, it has to be considered a success.
With rumbling bellies needing tending to, we quickly found our way to the dinner hall to enjoy wonderful freshly baked pan (enjoyed by all), white fish with rice and ragu (less enjoyed by all) and some fromage and desert – Mr Madden had three servings of all courses. Before launching into evening activities, we took a moment to sing a raucous version of Happy Birthday to Jay and Daisy along with candles and cupcakes for the celebrated two.
With fuel in our bodies it was time for mini-Olympic games, archery and fencing; a great way to finish the day before a very well deserved sleep.
Finally, we congregated in front of the chateau as the light grew dim and finally, finally found out room allocations. Whilst the children were all delighted with their rooms, I think the Year 6 teachers were even happier to have avoided any tears – quite some feat!
Mr Cadman (blog author) was excited to get into rooms and wish everyone good night so he could begin this blog and let everyone know we are safe and having a terrific time; however, the Kingswood staff had other ideas with a Fire Drill (at 10pm) top of their wish list. Nevertheless, here it is everyone. Tomorrow, more adventures are install for us. The weather looks agreeable and after a good night’s rest, we will be ready to tackle anything.
See you this time, more or less, tomorrow night.
