Well, have a got a wicked story for you guys!!  I finally got everything sorted back home! Packed up the flat and moved everything into mamas garage!! God bless her! Paid off my bills, got some money sorted to tie me over for a wee while and said my goodbyes!!  Off I went…..

Well the first part of the plane trip was bloody awesome, I know some poeple that knew some people heheh!!  (Chris, Rob and Gabriella you guys ROCK!!!!)  we got the meeeeanest hook up!! Kayte (a fellow rider that happened to be on the same flight) got to travel FIRST CLASS!!! Oh my god can you imagine 2 broke asses, sipping away on our OJ’s in fancy shmancy glasses!!  Our own lazy boy chairs that fully turn into a bed!! Duvet and nice pillow 3 course meals, this table ting that folds out and they put like a table cloth down for ya!! what the!! heheh…  when we boarded and Rob told us to have a seat but we couldnt settle in just yet…. Kayte and I were like figers and toes crossed, that someone wouldn’t come on in the last minute and bump us back to our seats!!  Oh I had sooo much fun!  Like little school girls!!! ha

Anyhow!! So the rest of the flight went pretty smooth, pretty much the usual over the top security measures in LA, then Heathrow more waiting and about 35 hrs later I arrived at my hew home for the next couple months!!  Its MASSIVE!!  The town is called Tielt-Winge, and im not too sure if its a town, or village/street…. but it exists, and we live here!! So far everything looks the same to me! I’ve been out on 2 rides and would not have a fogiest idea what direction we were heading but im sure with time i’ll be sweet!! 

The house has like 5 bedrooms and at the moment  we have 10 people staying,  Im in same room as my kiwi team mate Tones and and Ozzie Louise!! I got the top bunk bed!! Its not too bad, havent fallen out yet!! and the a pretty cool set up high ceilings so its not too cramped when u lying in bed!! 
Pretty wicked actually, like the bathroom’s like the size of my room back home!! big kitchen dining….  I like it!! i like it alot!!

Decided to take it easy for the first week!! Its freeeeezing!! We got pretty cool kit! pink, white and black! Looks wicked when we’re all out riding same bikes, helmets and everything!!  Thank god they provided some warm booties and gloves! Its like 2 degrees… well prob more like 5….   But lucky no rain yet!! 

Righto I’m staaaarving…. off to have some lunch! Hope everyone’s cool and hear from ya soon!!
