DONE!!!

I have made it! im very overwhelmed at the moment! It was amazing! I am in germany and am planning on chilling out for a while, so I am not entirely sure when I will be back. Still waiting for a message from work (matt thats you!!! :-) ) to see whether i can get a week off longer. Anyway, this trip was hard and has put me to the test. Not only physically but in every way possible! It was worth it. About 200 ppl were here to welcome me and Poppy into the village and the atmosphere was amazing. So a big thank you to all of my german friends who attended to welcome party. I would also say a big thank you for Poppy McLaughlin who support me all the way along the way. It was not easy for her easy and she has overcome many challenges as well! She was brilliant and has put up with me and my moods amazingly. Thank you so much Poppy the trip would not have been the same withouth you! At last I would also like to thank everyone for their support and help and nice messages I have been getting! Thank you Thank you Thank you! Message like : Go Eva I believe in you! or just Go Go Go were amazing and really helped! Ok, I am going to stop writing this essay now and will probably go to bed, but will write to you again and let you know how much money i have actually raised for The Murry Foundation! Lots of love to all of you,Just about to upload more pictures, so go to my profile and check them out!eva x x

Day 6! Half way through!

Well today im about half way through my trip and we are in Maubeuge, France! The weather here is shocking! at least it hasn't rained today though, which is always good! The road surfaces were shocking too. I really struggeled today though. My ankles are swollen and my legs tired. I just want to sleep. So now we are in a hotel called IBIS and we got a pretty nice room. Poppy and I are both sitting on the bed eating chocolate cake....yum yum!

Tried to rescue a little goat today, which was running around on the streets. However, it was a very fast goad and it really did not want to be rescued! So I let it run off into the field!

Nothing else exciting happened today... nothing that can think of anyway! Poppy says hi to all of you!

Missing you all lots,

Day 5

Today we both really struggeled to get up! we were sooo tired! And not only that, it was raining really heavily outside and we were both not too impressed about that. The place we stayed in, was absolutely amazing. The guy who was managing it, was brilliant.
Im exhausted today. There is not much to say today tho. Only did about half the distance today, as it was raining and i lost a wheel on my rollerblades!!! Thankfully I realised just before i was going down a hill. but all is well!

Just found a hotel and im going to have a bath now,

So bye bye x x x
