Naynay's adventures

Hello Mrs Williams

 

The last update I posted I was in Holland and I'm sorry for not updating you for the last three weeks.

 

In Holland I have been staying with a family ( they were Dutch ) with another girl from New Zealand but she is originally from Uzbekistan / Russia

 her name is Valintina  and the family who I'm staying with have an older daughter who is 14 and they have an older son who is 13.

I am good friends with them.

 

When I first went to their house they taught  me how to bike ( the bikes with no gear and the fancy handles and seats)

Then we went to Amstelveen city and looked around the city.

 

The people who I stay with have their own little boat and they took me on it and I got to drive it for a little bit. On the boat I

went around a big lake and got an ice cream, it was really fun.

 

The families grandma lives on a house boat ( a house on / in the water ), when you go to the bottom floor the water is up to the window, you can also feel the house swaying. Holland was so beautiful.

 

I know some words in Dutch as well

 

Nee pronounced nay: means no

Ya: means yes

hood a morha: means good morning

hood: means good

 

 

 When Valintina and I go to training we would go by bike everyday. I trained with the tennis New Zealand team with Valintina and a coach who's Dutch and also another coach from New Zealand. We also had a fitness coach. Every day Valintina and I would have breakfast with the family and lunch and dinner at the place where we train. We would train  4-5 hours of training and then a hour of fitness with the fitness coach.

 

After two weeks of training Valintina and I moved in with the tennis New Zealand team in a house and beside the house is a tennis venue where a tournament was held. In the house was Three boys and Three girls counting Valintina and I. Another two coaches came and stayed with us as well . I only stayed there for a week and then went to Germany with my family because the other tennis New Zealand people are older and they compete in stronger age groups. 

 

So I went to Germany with my family to play a 12s tournament in Germany. We drove to Germany and stayed in a very nice hotel that had a under ground swimming pool and sauna.

 

The facilities where I play are very nice.

 

Now I'm in Slovakia at my Grandmas house and today I went to a out door swimming pools and played there for a while.

 

 

I had three weeks of hard training and I didn't have the time to update you.
