Lake Gekeynes

Our first day of relaxation in Hungary was spent by lake Gekeynes. A lake in western Hungary. very hot. water cold. me like. The diving board was the high light of the day with all team members giveing it a go, some with better conviction than others. we even had a few hungarian families laughing as people ran to the edge of the diving board and abruplty stopped and ran back with a very pale face. we would like to point out that the diving board was a ginormous seven meters above the water. though we are convinced it was more along the line of twenty. After a refreshing dip in the lake we returned to the shore house to celebrate Moritz's b day. Super sweet 17. nothing else to say apart form the majority of people getting burn cause we thought we could all go down a few factors in suncream. johnny wearing a modest factor 60 and crispin on a burning 10.

Catapults and benches

Hey chaps,

Today there was a shortage of wood so Ross and i made huge catapults from spare pieces of wood littered around the site. Our huge weapons fired over a massive distance of about one and a half metres. They were much cooler than the bench Dave and Moritz made. Its really cool to be able to talk to you guys and i hope all the exams are going well. I love Ginge!

Morning Building and then visiting school..

This morning we did some more work on the site which started at eight. we worked till 9.30 and the houses framework and walls are really starting to look good. we then stopped and went back to the hostel before walking down to the nearby high school. the school is mixed with about 300 people in it. it is a prebyterian school and people come from lots of neighbouring towns to go there as it is a very good school and has boarding houses. we we shown around the school and grounds and the library there is amazing with over 20,000 books and manuscripts some dating back to martin luther. some of the pupils also showed us around and took us around the grounds, were the boys all started to play very bad football and so the pupils at the school arranged a match tonight against us, i think they thought they will have an easy win.. come on the gwynn boys..( girls arent allowed play according to dave)
