Coach 1 - Saturday's Fun and Happy Birthday Daisy!

The antics of Coach 1 continued today with a trip to the Boulangerie where we met Bruno the baker. He showed us the traditional way he made his bread, pain au chocolat and croissant.

No visit to the Boulangerie would be complete without trying something, so everyone had a pain au chocolat - they were wonderful!!

It is Daisy's 9th birthday today, so we started breakfast singing and giving her presents - how wonderful to be in France for your birthday!

We then headed to Boulogne Sur Mer for some sand yachting on the beach. We had wonderful sunshine, so sunscreen and lots of water were the order of the day. Girls were given gloves and helmets and off they headed across the beach to put their sails on their sand yachts.
The wind didn't play ball with us as much as we would have liked, so the girls had to push each other to get going, but there were wonderful demonstrations of teamwork. All the girls worked in pairs according to height, which meant they didn't know their partner. This didn't stop the chatter and laughter. 

The day finished with us eating out picnic tea on the beach and a paddle in the sea.
Todays awards go to, Ellie for being really friendly, especially for saying "hello Mister" to our coach driver every time she gets on the coach, all the Brownies for their Team work and Brooke for picking litter up that wasn't hers.

Getting off the coach tonight, it was lovely to hear leaders and girls saying they had had a wonderful day and thank you - time for bed now ...... Belgium tomorrow!
