Courtney's Birthday

Today is Courtney's 14th birthday. Although she is missing her family and friends very much, she knows show lucky she is to be spending her birthday in two different countries.

Today we sorted of "wasted" a day away in Paris. After a week of getting up early, waking and rushing we decided on having a little sleep in. There is along way to go yet and we don't want to get burnt out. 

We packed the suitcases up and Dad and the girls went to the Le Comptior Cafe down stairs and had fish and chips while Louise ducked out for a last minute look at the shops (the rest of us had retired our feet)

But the resting didn't last long and soon we were walking with the suitcases to the train station (where the escalator was broken) to catch the two trains to the airport. 

We flew Easyjet from Paris to Belfast which took about 75 minutes - once they'd changed a wheel on the plane. 

When we arrived at our accommodation there was a huge bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates for the birthday lady, delivered all the way from Mum in Australia.

Rayanne House, the guest house we are staying in is beautiful. Courtney thinks it is jury like the house in a book she is reading at the moment. The girls have their own room with huge beds.
