Images, photos, pictures, graphics, illustrations and all that jazz,.

You should all very happy reading this, I finally have my laptop back, therefore my blog updates will now have paragraphs! (yay paragraphs), and secondly I should be able to bombard you with photos!


However about that later, crazy stuffs been happening! I caught up with my Air Force buddy Warlum last night, which was delightful. Hearing what he's been up to and also new goss he's in the know about. Fantastic way to spend an evening!

I shall let the pictures speak for themselves.

Just some stones that have been baffling human kind for thousands of years.

 

Rain makes hair frizzy. Plastic stops rain. Plastic rain jacket = God's present to women.

My local hangout back in the day. 

This is just such a stunning photo my Mum took. 

Ahhh you know when you watch those border security shows and see people sitting on the ground looking like homeless people. I joined their club. Repacking at Heathrow. 

My fabulous Mum conquering her fear of heights (We were on the roof of Trim Castle)

The Amsterdam Pancake. Tthe best thing I have EVER had. 

Being a tourist, and ticking off all the corny photographs. 

CarnabySst in London, cute not so little globe, just incase you forgot which planet you were on. 

My future Sister and Brother-in-law at Hamleys.

Hampton Court. Quick little culture observation here, England has the loveliest parks in manors, however none of it is mowed. it's like someone thought, we own these lands, why do we need to mow them. 

Olympic rings.

Next up Warlum is amazing, because he gave me two tickets to the sailing in WEymouth ( down south) on Monday! So very excited to go watch and cheer on the Aussies and Kiwis!

ALos the australian girlies Jess and Caitlin arrive tomorrow! Which shall be fantastic! So much to see and do in such a  little bit of time. 

Peace out homies.

St. Ives what?

Marvellous Tuesday is what today should be called. My day consisted of waking up at 5am (still haven't kicked this jet lag)then continuing to wake up the rest of the household with my shower and blow drying. What a pity, who needs sleep when they're on holidays, right? Then we packed, trekked down the road to drop our apartment key off, caught a cab from a friendly Brit. Figured out that if we caught the piccadilly line to Heathrow it would cost £5 = $12AUD roughly as opposed to the Heathrow express that cost £19 each. Ripped off tourist right here. Then picked up our rental car and were on the road jack. The driver being my Mum, she is a fantastic driver. A great person to travel with but (there's always a BUT right?), she doesn't exactly enjoy driving in the city. Therefore after a few wrong turns and some terse looks we were on our way to Stonehenge. However one day if you ever travel to England you will noticed the fact that when driving all of the road signs are symbols of sort, there is very few signs that actually have words or numbers on them. Therefore for tourists who are insure of the speed limit , this is slightly problematic, add in the fact that at very overpass bridge there is stationary speed cameras. It is a right picnic to drive. However upon arriving at stonehenge after a delightful lunch in Andover, where I handily picked up a sim card for my iPad, it was breath taking. We were able to skip the line as we had purchased online an English heritage overseas visitors pass- would highly recommend them to anyone! Stonehenge and how it came to be is a miracle, the maintenance and potential reasons of why it was created are fascinating and frustrating all at the same time! I cant wait to come back at winter time and get photos of it with snow! It is a magical place. We then Headed back in the car, made some wrong turns, learnt that the Brits truly don't have enough lines on round abouts or speed signs. Or space on the side of the roads, or ANY good radio stations! Honest to goodness after spending 6 hours in the car today I can quite confidently say that every radio station I heard was absolutely useless in relation to the music and presenters. St Ives which is where I currently am, is my favourite place in the entire world, hands down. It is his little British holiday spot, on the coast, with cobbled streets, quaint pubs, b&b left right and centre, step streets, narrow enough the only an anorexic reason could fit through the, but absolutely beautiful! Well I'm off to grab some zzz's, talk later! X

24 hours on and still strong!

Hectic! Crashed last night and woke up bright an early at five pm, realised that the adaptor I had did not was missing the piece it needed to function therefore my hair was insanely frizzy, imagine einstein but worse.

But otherwise I had a spectacularly jam packed day. Mum and I squished in the bus tours, buckingham, palace, kensington palace, Hyde park & biking, Harrods, new sim cards, Finding Aspley house to pic up our heritage passes and then finding out they are shop. Oh and of course making the London underground our bff :)

 The weather was more pleasant thank goodness.

Some observations people here don't talk, people that work at Harrods are ten times worse than people that work at Myers, their pubs are quite reasonably priced, always order the 'London Tower' burger at Garfunckle- it was amazinggg! Lastly don't forget to lock your room when you share an apartment. Close one.

Tomorrow we are off to Windsor Castle, Stone Henge, Bath, and end up in St Ives. I'll update you then! xx
