Day 1 ~ 21/08/19 ~ 10am onwards When I woke up the next day it was 10am and time to conquer our first day in France. Today we were having a pool day and meeting mums friend and her kids. I was up first, so I got dressed into:

Then grabbed some fruit and went and sat on the couch in the hotel room, so I could message some of my friends back in England. While scrolling through Instagram I saw that Tom Abisgold was also on holiday! It didn't say where, as it was just a picture of an airplane, from a few days ago, but how cool would it be if he was in Paris and I got the chance to meet him? After about an hour, my mum and Hazel, were ready and we were going to catch the train into Paris! At the train station, we got these cards, like Oyster cards in London, that showed us our money and how much we spent each time we tapped in and out. We got on a train, then had 1 hour and a bit to relax. I put some music on (obs chapter 13 ; ) and was messaging George, who I was already missing. He was having a great time at camp and was asking me all about France, while he also told me about summer camp. The train journey went rather quickly, as all I did was message my twin and sister, who was also with him. Hazel joined and in the end we face timing them for half the journey. They then had to go at 12, as their activities were starting, so we said bye and warned them about how they were getting a nice surprise at the climbing area, so they agreed to go their first (it was their dads station). We observed the scenery into Paris, before going underground. We hardly had anytime left so all I did was play a game with Hazel and wait and wonder what the villa looked like, was it nice? Soon we got to our stop and got off the train, we walked up and exited the station. On the walk over to the villa we saw loads of small, tiny cottages, I really hoped our villa didn't look like that! For five of us we needed something a bit bigger at least. We continued walking to the end and then mum took us up to this massive gate, that had a long drive, leading to this massive villa!

I was amazed! 'Surprise girls!' Mum shouted, beaming at both our expressions, 'Happy Christmas/ birthday Grace, this is just one of the few added bonuses for waiting so long!' I was in awe and speechless, but instead of saying something I just ran up and hugged her, 'best holiday ever!' I said smiling like a massive freak. We went up to the radio and buzzed it, then waited. Soon after a voice appeared and said, 'Hello, who's there?' 'Hi Elaine' my mother said, 'It's me Vicky, with Grace and Hazel' 'I'll let you in now' Elaine replies, 'stand back!' The gates began to open automatically, while we all just stood their in shock and awe. This villa was a mansion and even had automatic gates! We made our way up to the house, taking everything around us in, that's when I saw him. He was stood with who must of been Elaine and her daughter, was the one and only Tom Abisgold! No way could he be her son, could he?
