Today we are on our way to Suriname.
It is two weeks sailing but we think 2 days longer.
We've caught a lot of fish.
And the Barbarossa and the Valentine too.
The bait has been bitten off by a giant fish.
You could still see the teeth in the thread.
That was a shame, because it was the best bait.
We also do a game here with the Barbarossa.
Then you have to guess how many miles we sailed the past day and how many boats we are going to run into and how many fish we are going to catch.
If you get one thing right you get a point.
The Valentine is a few miles away, the Barbarossa sails beside us.
School is going well here too.
And we're not bored.
The first day we were a bit nauseous, but the other days went completely well.
We also saw dolphins once on our way to Suriname.
And the days fly by very quickly.
I hope you have a good time there.
Because that's what we have here.
Every day we have beautiful weather and it has not rained once.
We read a lot of Donald Ducks and do some crafts now and then.
I have already made a very nice boat out of paper and I am also tying friendship bracelets.
That is sometimes quite difficult, but I have already finished one.
At night there are very bright stars and also many falling stars.
I've already seen two, one long and one short.
The guard duty is also going well here. My mom and dad take turns staying awake for 3 hours.
We haven't seen many big ships yet.
We also bake our own bread here, which is very tasty.
Have a very happy Christmas and I hope we can skype again next year.
Happy holidays and a happy new year!
Lots of love from Eline

Dear Eline
How did the long journey to Suriname go? Are you happy to be in Suriname? Is it different from the Netherlands? Are they poor in Suriname like in The Gambia? Here it is cold. I played a lot in the snow, but it has melted now. Is it warm at your place? Did you have a nice christmas? we went to limburg for 3 nights to celebrate christmas. I hope to Skype with you soon.
