Last night in Armenia - Sad Times!!

How - day - us!

We have just arrived back at Envoy after a wonderful evening of food and fun at the home of one of the Armenian Guides (soon to be Guider) Lilit.  Her mum and aunt prepared us a wonderful meal of barbecued meats, fresh vegetables, lavash, fish, chicken, fruits and ice cream - what a send off we had! We will need to be rolled into the airport with our bellies still full tomorrow morning! There was of course a bit of Armenian dancing to help burn off the over indulgence but i think those G.UK shirts will be a tad tight tomorrow! 

We have had a wonderful time in Armenia on GOLD 2011 and would like to thank everyone at NUGGGS and Girlguiding UK who have helped and supported us throughout all the Project - it really has been a once in a lifetime adventure for us all, and i am so appreciative that  i have got to experience it twice!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the team themselves - Marie Harrison, Amy Longhurst, Jade Bennett, Caroline Kendall and Kelly Chant - thank you so much for being wonderful people to spend an amazing three weeks with on GOLD Project.  You have provided endless laughter, banter, support and hugs and truly made this experience as enjoyable as it could be - a massive thank you from me... i still wont cry! :) However i will mention the dinny dropping flip flop, the bees boxes, swagger jagger, the jade-isms, Susan Boyle, British dancing, SAS, laxatives, random proposals,  church grope, cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese, 6am cascade sunrise, rabies dogs and WOLVES. Love it!! 

We are now off on a mini Adventure to St Petersburg - flight in approximately 6 hours , leaving envoy in 3 hours and still sleep to be had - a GOLD all-nighter could be on the cards!!  We shall hopefully still have internet and update you on this onward banter however we thank you for you support and perseverance at times when reading this blog - especially if Marie is writing it, ha!! 

Only thing left to say is JOB DONE - all the best to next years team and roll on GOLD Armenia 2012!!
