This video blog has been totally handed over to the kids. Their voices have rarely been heard in the run up to leaving on on this world sailing adventure so ...

We're in Greece!

So, tell me how you felt before you came

away, what did you think was going to happen?

I thought it won't have so much bags on it

And what did you think the boat was going to be like?

Really small.

Is it small?

No!

It has cushions.

And what bits do you like best about

the boat?

This bit because it's really spaced out and you can lie back on it

And what to you think about being away from home?

It's quite scary really - I do miss it but I think we'll have better times.

What do you think

about the place that you've come to?

I think it's..

It's nice but it could be better with a beach.

What did you feel like before you left?

Before I left I thought I was gonna get really upset because of all

my friends and I did, but when I got here Iwas really happy.

And what di you think the boat was gonna be like?

I thought the

boat was.. well first of all my room - I

thought it was gonna be really small

because it's part of the corridor but

actually I like you better than all the

other rooms because it's really cozy.

And what do you think about the place that you're in?

I really like it because we're next to..

it's got loads of small alleyways and I

think they're really cute and it's got

really nice shops.

What did you

think was gonna happen, how did you feel

before you came away?

Em.. I thought like I was..

I thought there was going to be English children so I could play with them but there's not.

Oh, so what do you feel like now that you've

got here and there're no English children?

I feel sad.

And what are you looking at? You can see parts of the world.

And would you like to go to some of those parts?

Yeah.

Why would you want to go and look at those parts of the world?

It's because I want to see what it looks like.

Yeah.

There's flags. Oh, yeah.

So what are you excited about on this big trip -

what is it that you're thinking about? That we're going to go to turquoise seas!

See some turquoise sea - is that the thing you're most excited about?

Yeah, and going snorkelling today.

I'm excited about the beaches and like.. because they're going to be way more tropical and I'm also

excited about seeing animals along the

way.

I'm excited most so I can make sandcastles and you can play stuck-in-the-mud

And you can throw the stone down and it means you can't get them.

Okay.

Are you starting some learning soon?

Some schooling? Yeah, today we're not because we

have to unpack and everything but I think

maybe soon we're gonna start some more

learning - gradually get there. Yeah,

what's it been like the last week trying

to leave England? Well the last week was

really hectic and everyone was coming over to

say goodbye and it was making everyone

really sad and everyone was crying and it

was all emotional but now I'm here

I just feel really relaxed. What was it like on

the flight yesterday carrying all the

baggage and things - how was that?

Really Ashamed, I was really ashamed that Dad wasn't here because he would have carried all of it.

How much did you have to carry?

One bag of toys what was like, one tonne and a guitar.

And did you have to carry any bags? Yeah, I had to carry a bag full of some.. a few books

and I also had to carry a guitar and at some point I had to carry a violin

and I think I pulled a muscle in my back somewhere.

And did you carry anything on that

flight yesterday? I carried a bag and a violin.

And did you manage to do that?

Erm.. I struggled.

I asked you 'I don't want to hold it' but I have to.

Who carried Joshua bear?

Me!

And me.

No, I carried Sharky and Joshua bear but now I can't find Joshua bear.

But I can find George's brother.

And some of the time I carried him.

No you didn't. I did. No you didn't. I did. No you didn't.

Okay, so is there any fish around

here?

Yes, there's whitebait and it's edible and I'm going to fish it with that.

And what are you going to do with it after?

Eat! Eat the fish?

Yummy yummy in my tummy.

You have to cook it first!

And what did you have for breakfast?

Chocolate croissants!

But he ate most of them.

I didn't eat lots - I took two - he ate loads! Who's turn is it to wash up?

I washed up the table! I helped Dad put up the table! No washing up though - we've got to do washing up duty

Who's next turn to do washing up?

Me, you, him.

The last thing we're going to do now and then you can just play with your fishing all day is

we want you to show us your cabins.
