***NEWS FLASH PEOPLE!!!! THE GRAND TREK THAT WE ARE ON IS GOING BACKWARDS! SO ANYOLNE WITH A LIST, WE STARTED IN NIAGRA FALLS!!! NOT WASHINGTON DC! WE ARE GOING ANTI-CLOCKWISE!!!! Good, glad I have managed to tell you all that at last. ***
OH MY GOD! Having the time of my life. So, Trek started off at the Holiday Inn at Secaucus. Had to get up at 4am and leave Ed and Ashleys at 5am to get there in time! Our trek leader is called Dave West. He is so funny. We got in our little trek van mini bus thing and headed off. Something like a 400 mile drive up to Niagra. Got to the campsite which was nice. Here's the shocking news. Brace yourselves friends and family. I PUT UP A TENT!!! Oh yes. And took it down the following morning! I am now a pro at this. We saw the Niagra Falls at night which was amazing. They get all lit up and it was beautiful. Check out the photos. Got back to camp and slept WELL. Next morning, went back up to the falls to see them by day and went on the famous Maid of the Mist. It was amazing!! Got soaked but was so worth it. They are MASSIVE! And very loud. Was really cool. We then got back on the van and drove up to Sandusky. Stayed at a nice campsite there before moving on to Chicago! Got here yesterday.
Chicago is really cool. I would recommend it to anyone. We are staying downtown and its great. Yesterday we took a night time bike tour of the city. It's really nice. Cycled all past lake Michegan...Miccicagan?? You know what I mean. Anyway! It's one of the 5 great lakes and is about the size of Ireland. HUGE! We went through the centre of the city and basically saw everything. Biking was really fun. Rach, Becky and I then mooched in our hotel room and watched some quality american info-mercials. Today is a free day so we are just going to try and cram as much in as possible.
Dad - tonight we are going to check out some live blues! Should be good, wish you were here xxx
I am missing you all lots and lots xxxx
I shall try and get back on soon, not sure when because we are camping so much but will try.
Love to all of you. Han xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
