Christmas dinner + Paje!

Last weekend, on saturday, we were at a christmas dinner. We know some Norwegian families, that invited us. It started with a volleyball match (they have a very nice volleyball court in their garden), and it was very fun. They live in a quite big house with many apartments inside, all the people that lives there are Norwegians. We sat on the roof when we ate (they have a big roof). We ate different things like samosa, springroll, salad etc.

After dinner we (the children) went down to one of the apartments and watched "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2". While we watched we ate Norwegian chocolate (delicious!). Then we had to leave.

On sunday, we went with two of the Norwegian families to a place called Paje. It is a very nice beach there, so we were swimming a lot! For lunch I ate pizza, which was very good. After lunch, we played american football on the beach. It was really fun, but som of the adults were a little bit violent. They are so strong, so they were pushing each other threw themselves over each other. Last time we were at Paje, some of them got big bruising. After some hours there, we went home.

Fun-run!

Last sunday it was something called a fun-run here in Zanzibar. If you wanted to run you could choose between 5km (fun-run), 10/11km (relay) or 21km (half-marathon). I chose 5km. It was very fun but very hard. It started at 7 in the morning and it was very hot. We started at a stadium and it was some drinking stations on the way where you could get a small bottle of water. When I almost was back, I was so tired and hot that I started to freeze, and my legs was hurting, so I had to walk a little bit. When I got back, I was so tired that the only thing I wanted to do wat to sit down. Istead we had to stand in a line and wait for our turn to write our names and where we come from, etc. After that we got some energy-biscuits, energy-drink and some water. Then we just sat down, waiting for the others from the school to finish. While we sat there, a lot of people fainted and couldn't stand because of the heat and not enough water. My dad ran the 21km run, and when he got there, it was no more energy-drink and no more biscuits so the only thing left    
was water.
