Holidays in Morocco

We had a wonderful time in Morocco - all inclusive hotel Iberostar in Agadir with 3 swimming pools and one was heated; made friends every day talking in french and english, played in the pool, played cards, chatted, played football, danced at the disco, watched two shows, dressed up for Halloween.

We also went on a trip for 3 days to Marakech and Ouarzarate. In Marakech we visited beautiful Saadian tombs, a Palace, walked around the city and around Koutoubia Mosque, had a dinner outside overlooking the church/tombs with music and big meat skewers, we walked through the bazaar for miles (and people all friendly). We saw the main square Place Jemaa el-Fna in the day and at night, so crowded at night with orange sellers, snake dancing, stalls selling many different things. We visited the Film Studios of Ouarzarate where they filmed Asterix (Cleoptra). We stayed in the old town by the old castle, all made from mud. I happily joined in with 3 boys playing football in the main square at night. We also visited Aït Benhaddou town where they were also making a film. Here are some pictures of us.

Grandma's birthday

Ti'pah and Grandma stayed on after the parties and we could celebrate grandma's party with cake of course. We also went to Paris on the train to meet mamã and papá who had gone the night before. I saw the Eiffel Tower - very excited - so tallllllllllll. We had a lovely lunch before taking metro and bus and going to the horse races. I tried to guess the right winner, got it wrong each time. One horse won millions of euros. Wowwwww. We had dinner on the train coming back travelling first class to celebrate.

Wedding Istanbul

School finished at 12.10 and then home for lunch before on the aeroplane to Istanbul. We had a great hotel (HHK) with my own individual room. We looked over the Golden Horn, a few hundred metres from Suleimaniye Mosque. Beautiful with a little pool and very friendly people. We visited the city including Haghia Sophia, the Archaeological Museum (with some amazing tombs), Grand Bazaar where I got football top and shorts of Portugal from Euro 2012 with Ronaldo #7. We went to Berna and Dany's wedding on the Bosphorus, Portaxe. Beautiful time - a very happy big party with loads of great company (playing with the other kids) and dancing and food and...eventually I fell asleep on my inflatable bed. The next day we went across the Bosphorus to Besiktas to Ortakoy (market stalls and lazy cafés) and naval museum, to the Blue Mosque at night after kebab dinner. We visited the wonderful frescoes of Church of St Saviour in Chora and then had lunch overlooking Golden Horn at the Pierre Loti restaurant. We walked down through the BIG cemetery and took a very small powered boat to Miniturk. Loads of fun walking around Miniturk that I drew pictures back home. Then it was time to leave and back to the airport after visiting the spice market.

California cont...

On our way home I had a few special treats. We visited an amazing BIG aquarium in Atlanta (where we touched baby sharks...well I kept missing as too low below the surface but mamã and papá managed) and we visited the Coca Cola museum (I just liked the fact I could try a very odd flavoured drink at the end of the tour and pick up my own coca cola BOTTLE). And....on the aeroplane from Atlanta to Brussels I got to sit in the cockpit and meet the pilot and crew. I put on the 'captain's hat', sat in his seat and 'steered'. I don't think though I want to be a pilot...

Gran Canary Holidays

Wow, we had so much fun in Gran Canary. We went sliding down sand dunes, we went sliding down water parks, we went uphill into and across the mountains, we visited zoo with many types of parrots and dolphin show, I had a photo taken with a seal (that made my head very smelly of fish :-)), I had a dragon tattoo like papá (that is already disappearing), we joined cowboys and indians at 'stunt shows' and I got dressed up too, I also became a devil for the evening of halloween.
I got a Ben Ten watch early birthday present (and told my parents the time every minute for quite some time :-)), we played/swam at 4 different beaches, we had great food and sun (25-28 deg C) as well as I joined the mini-disco two nights following the professional dancer :-)....and now we returned to the cooler Belgium.

  

Princess and Wedding

Here we are all very smart waiting from the Princess in her white dress. Wow...I followed her around all evening and night. Church wedding started 7 pm and I ate and partied until the bus home to our hotel in Madrid, Spain, at 3 am in the morning....I am in most wedding photos of the happy couple :-) I smiled all the time and was very well behaved. I had loads of fun...thank you Princess Tania and Rui for inviting me.

Efteling Amusement Park

No swimming....so off we went to Efteling in Holland....old children's stories amusement park and with loads of new fun rides. I enjoyed the chair carousel, spinning tea cups and water rafting - we all got wet especially me and papá - we walked off the ride trying to widen our legs to stop our jeans sticking to our legs....we laughed and laughed. I even went on a toboggan with papá - i did not cry from fear but I could not see too much outside. I ate a very very large ice cream and got to keep the 'Efteling head' cup and I got a jedi sword...."Power be with you" (and reminds me of the video where I was one of the 'children' of Yoda in Star Wars film. We stayed until the place closed at 12.00 pm and I told mamã and papá I would fall asleep immediately when I got in the car....15 seconds later I was asleep :-)

Brussels and Weekend Holiday

I have a trotinette (Scotter) and I am very happy - having used Tiago (Gabel and Ze-Miguel's) scooter at Christmas...I have been asking for one...Mamã and Papá say this is my easter present. Yeeepeeee. I am very fast but also lazy....after a few minutes on it I want to give it to someone to carry it...well you can guess who...Papá  is teaching me to "fly" with both my feet on it.
We went on a holiday - I packed my own small suitcase of cars, toys, books and doudo...I looked for the taxi to take us to the airport but we went by car....we went to a beautiful farm house with a swimming pool and a sauna (why do people like saunas, it was very boring). We had a big dinner and I had burger and chips in a basket and afterwards an ice cream - yummmmy. The next day we visited the "SeaLife" in Blankenberge and I got a very special badge after we watched the seals. We had lunch at the seaside and then I went cycling along the sand dunes path which was loads and loads of fun :-)

Rome

I love pizza, cake and biscuits and ice cream and chocolate...my parents love me for this (they say "no...enough"). Here I am in Rome...eating and posing for my portrait. What a hard life - running around...eating...Mamã and Papá said they were also celebrating an anniversary (what more cake and candles :-))
