Hexham, England - 16th June 2012
By: Snamoen
Hi Mum!
Today I saw the Olympic Torch - it was pretty neat!
We arrived early to make sure that we got a good spot to see it. Luckily we had brought a seat with us, so we could just sit back and relax.
Then lots of police started to show up.
And then we saw it - the torch!
It was an exciting day.
Bye,
Sheela

Essex, England - 8th July 2012
By: Snamoen
Hi Mum,
This past week I have been in Essex. Snamoen's Nana has just been released from hospital, so Snamoen went down to help out around the house. This means that I haven't had a chance to explore, but don't worry, I've been keeping myself occupied with all the animals that Snamoen's Grandparents have!
Here I am with Summer. She's such a sweetie, she loves to play and have her belly rubbed.
This is Honey. She's very mischevious and loves to play.
This is Tosca. He has to be the fluffiest cat I've ever seen! He loves to go outside and explore his domain.
Here I am with Jessie. She's quite an old lady (she's 15), so she likes to spend her time relaxing in the sun and being stroked.
And finally, here I am with Mr. Pickles, the tortoise. He's a great little character and is very cheeky.
So as you can see, I'm having a great time with all the animals here!
Bye,
Sheela

Hi Mum,
We arrived back in Hexham early Sunday morning. And today I said goodbye to two new friends, who are continuing in their travels.
First I said goodbye to Huhn.
And then I said bye to _Mishuta_.
It was sad seeing them leave, but I bet they have a great time at their new hosts'!
Bye,
Sheela

Istanbul, Turkey - 20th July 2012
By: Snamoen
Hi Mum,
Just a quick update before I go to bed - it's been a very long day! We were all up at 3am, as we had a plane to catch.
But first we said bye to Niiskuneiti, who is going back home.
Then we quickly made sure that we had everything we needed, and we're ready to go!
I'm now on a cruise ship - but haven't taken any pictures yet. It's been a very long day travelling. I'll make sure to update later, with more pictures.
Bye,
Sheela

Beirut, Lebanon - 25th July 2012
By: Snamoen
Hi Mum,
Today we docked in Beirut, Lebanon. It was a great place to visit, but I’ll get to that later.
First we went to the ancient city of Byblos. Here I am at the entrance.
It was such an interesting place to visit. I mean, this is the city that the Bible was named after!
Can you believe that it’s over 7000 years old?
Here I am with a beautiful view of the coast of Beirut.
After we had visited Byblos, we decided to go to ‘Jeita Grotto’ – the caves of Jeita. They were beautiful. However, the security wouldn’t let us take any pictures, unfortunately.
This statue is in front of one of the entrances to the caves, it’s called the ‘Guardian of Time’.
Look Mum! Now I can safely say that I’ve seen the entire world!
After we had finished exploring the Jeita, we had a wander around Beirut. Here I am in front of the parliament house.
This is the main Mosque of Beirut. Did you know that 50% of the population of Lebanon is Muslim and the other 50% is Christian?
As you can see Mum, it’s been another great day!
Love,
Sheela

Hi Mum,
It's been a very long day. We've been travelling from 9am yesterday morning, and only arrived back at hostmum's home at 1am. I had a quick nap, and then it was time to say bye to Flummi, who is continuing in his travels.
I'm still pretty tired from the journey, so think I might go back to bed!
Love,
Sheela

Hexham, England - 1st August 2012
By: Snamoen
Hi Mum,
We've been taking things easy these past few days, as hostmum has had a lot of unpacking and washing to do! So we've been relaxing in the garden.
I've especially enjoyed lying on the sun-lounger and getting a bit of a tan!
Love,
Sheela

Hi Mum,
Today HelgaHH has left us as she's travelling to Finland.
It's been another quiet day. But hostmum says she has a surprise for all of us tomorrow. Hmm... I wonder what it could be? Guess I'll just have to wait and find out!
Love,
Sheela
