Well I do apologise about the lack of updates recently. Some could think its because of our race or maybe a lack of internet. True story is my computer has finally stopped working.. Anyway I will write a big post when I get home of all my adventures. Currently we are in Paris for a week before coming back to NZ. Thanks to the French guys for helping us out with a ride and a place to stay.

Worlds results: 45th, Teams not sure actually but not flash..Ill write about it when im home.

Well I have been rather slack with updating this, not due to lack of time, just lack of internet. We have moved out to the apartments which are really sweet and only 5mins away from course. Trainings has also been going well with some good sessions before nations training…

We also went to the local fire festival. It was a rather crazy experience. Im pretty sure they have no regulations for fire or anything here. We were warned by the Aussies to wear old clothes and something to cover your face. We were a little under dressed compared to most people, but we ended up being ok… First of all we were gathered around a stage where some lady cooked young kids who turned into devil like things who ran around with a spinning and over sized sparkler. Then the crowd was pushed through town where they had set up fire works all over the show. Pretty much ended up in the same place as it started, funny thing is a tree caught fire, we thought it was part of the show. Turns out we were wrong.

Johan has been playing around with his camera and these are some pics that he has taken.

Made it here!  Johan had better luck with our directions and got us here in good time to have dinner and sort out our accommodation. We are at the farm house, where the Australian Team is. Its a pretty cool old style farm house just a stones throw across the river.

Training has been going really well and Im really enjoying paddling here, although Bourg was rather fun!!

Here are a few pictures Steph and Johan took, playing around with his camera.
