It must be love.

The hectic life, is my life and I absolutely love it! I love being tired from running around a new city and experiencing new things.

The last few days have been extremely educational and interesting, as well as fully jam packed of touristy things and tea breaks!

 This is what I've been up to...


My best friend Jess arrived from the big scary world of Oz on Sunday afternoon, which was absolutely wonderful! So lovely to see great friends, especially when we're about to embark on such a wonderful adventure together! Then later that evening her cousin Caitlyn arrived, which is great! The more the merrier!

Monday saw us hit up the hop on hop off bus tours, getting a real feel for what we do and don't want to see. For instance we just had to re-visit Westminster Abbey, and need never see again the the district behind waterloo station, old industrial area thats now been revamped since it was blown to pieces during the great blitz, truly they did us a  favour by bombing it, no need to repair it....

We then hit up Knightsbridge for some shopping at Harrods and of course a shopping expedition in London would not be complete without introducing this two London shopping virgins to Topshop and Zara. The girls have been absolutely blown away by the fantastic clothes that are on sale!

Then after crawling home on the trains we got up at 7.30am this morning. Aka Jess, the coolest girl out, came and hopped into bed with me, "Time to wake up", my response "yehhhhhhhh, later bro".

However I did have my hair curled and make up done by 8, and downstair for brekky , whilst they were all still in their jammies, eating brekky, and gossiping away.

We then jumped on the train to be scarred from the London Dungeons, however huge delays on the rail network, resulted in us changing lines, and adjusting our plans, but never feared we still arrived in time to be scarred.... a lottttt....





Our group for the tour was quite stimulating in itself. first off we walked in the initial scary introductory room, where there were 'dead' rats hanging down from the roof that we would walk into, absolutely scaring the little girl who was say around 12 years old, enough that she did not start screaming, and then of course much to my delight a scary lady all dressed up, with a white ghoulish face of make make up and loud croaky voice started jumping at the young girl, which resulted in the girls screams breaking the sound barrier.

The next blog-worthy mention was when after hearing about how surgeons use to high grave robbers to steal dead bodies so they could explore the human body. Here's some prior knowledge you need to understand this. A Nana had brought along her two assumed grandsons, the younger of the two was already freaking out, so Nana being as good of a nana is that brings their grand kids to a scar show, says just don't look, come here as he huddles into her chest.

A yound man (qute a looker actually) 'voluntered' to sit in the torture chair, he was starpped in- simply his hands- and the utentials surgeons used to extricated bodily organs, such as slicing of hands was demonstrated on this guy, lets call him Ted. So when the scary surgeon went to chop Ted's hands off, the lights went dark, and all of  a sudden a light spray of water was squirted from the walls onto us- it was meant to be the blood, you know.


The next thing, lights are on, and we hear, "I think he fainted, yep, he fainted".

Absolutely made my day! The little squirt had flat out fainted on his Nana. Poor Nana, she looked terrible, as if she'd just committed treason.

Above: The hang mans noose ride. It was pitch black and we'd just watched people get hanged. Not a nice feeling.

But otherwise it was on the up from there, learnt a tonne of interesting history, hit up the London eye and saw some terrific views, and then attended the Westminster Abbey tour.

Now let me just tell you Westminster is and absolutely MUST see for visotrs. Honest to goodness there is simply so much history to remember. Breath taking.

Then of course we then went to The Ritz for afternoon tea, which was absolutely scrumptous. i had orange and passionfruit tea, delicious!!


Now here I am tired and sore but so excited for tomorrow. You'll hear about that another time! x
