Edinburgh day 3

After our big day of sightseeing yesterday and late night to bed, it was a huge effort from Maddy, Clare and Chelsea to be up by 5am to catch a taxi to the pool for an early morning swim session.




A quick pool side interview.

We must thank Laurel, the head coach of Warrender Baths Club for her hospitality over the past few days. We have been able to access a wide variety of sessions during our stay.
This morning Clare was asked by one of the boys in the squad to say " Skippy get out of the water there is a shark". Once we had "translated" his request Clare obliged!
Breakfast was again served at 8:30am and this morning we celebrate a special day, with Elena turning 14.

On Sunday Charlotte is also celebrating a birthday, so a birthday cake was in order for them both.

Today will be spent mostly around the cottages with several activities planned for the morning and early afternoon. We have horse riding with 2 x 90min treks and golf.
Some of the girls preparing to ride.

The match was fantastic!! We played the Edinburgh Private Schools combined team. They were very good but our girls played with great spirit and at half time we were 1 - 0 up thanks to a great goal by Mel Hickey and some outstanding goal keeping by Jules Bardoel! Edinburgh ended up winning 3 - 1 but our girls were fantastic!!
Post game eats!

Tonight the girls pack their bags, trying to get all their shopping in whilst staying under the baggage weight limit......
We have had a fantastic trip but are all looking forward to returning home.
