We're currently planning what we would like to do in Mexico when we get there in 57 days. We're definitely going to visit Chichen Itza, an ancient Mayan site that is one of the 'new' wonders of the world. We can't decide what else to do between swimming with dolphins, snorkeling in coral reefs with turtles, scuba diving etc. So much to choose from!
We also have our skiing holiday to look forward to in two weeks. We've been getting the mini bus sorted out and arranging what we want to do while there. Not just skiing, but spa days too. Because Matt and I suggested the trip, all of the organisation has been left down to us, booking the house, minibus, equipment hire, ski pass purchase, booking lessons. Everything. It's been a bit stressful for us both, and we're getting a bit fed up with being the only ones doing anything. Oh well, I guess someone has to do it, and it'll be fun when we get there.
The beginning of the week was busy for me as I was covering a teacher who was off sick. I was asked at 8.36am to cover registration, which starts at 8.30, then double English straight away. A stressful morning. The rest of the week was OK though. We've been very busy getting our stuff together to make our VISA applications to China. We need a huge amount of paperwork, and it will certainly involve at least one trip to the UK to visit the Chinese embassy and get full medical examinations. There's a lot to think about, and it's all a bit overwhelming really.
Yesterday, Matt went out to watch Duisburg with our friend Markus, while I went for lunch with Sean. We had amazing chorizo burgers, then wandered around the shops, before heading to the harbour for a couple of cheeky cocktails. It was a lovely, relaxing afternoon, and just what I needed. Matt was meant to be playing football today, but the match got cancelled, so we're having a lazy day on the playstation and doing my online photography course.
Yes it's going to be a few weeks/months of stress but it will all be worth it!😬
