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

London Baby!



So right this moment it is 10.32pm and I am sitting on the floor in our London apartment while restoring my computer and recovering from the trip here!

Here's how the last 48 hours have spent.



 Saturday morning up and adam, say bye to the family and best friend, drive to perth with the Mum, Dad and littlest brother at this stage , Mum is not feeling to crash hot so we have to practically drug her up so she is able to board the flight. A promising start to our adventure.

Next after actually receiving great service and comfort in our flight from Perth to Singapore with Qantas airline, we do a quick little dash to our next gate. however a small problem i encounter one downloading the ebook of 50 shades of gray. Which i now consider to simply be a porno book, about a deranged man that is a complete wack job and needs to betaken down a peg or two. Secondly when we (My Mum and I) arrived in SIngapore my phone was still not working so i restored my entire settings, and am currently now fixing my phone and getting it in a functioning condition!


Next off we arrived in New Delhi. Yay we slept in these pods:




But they really felt like:


 However in saying that it was exactly what we needed some privacy and  a bed to get a bit of zzz's. Secondly at the moment India's Ghandi International Airport rates as the worst airport I have ever been to. It lacked the simple essential, yes it was glitzy and glamourous but not having a single atm in the departure/duty free hall, and then on top of that having no currency exchange centre. COme on. India step up.  But we did get foot massages and they were heavenly if slightly painful at times!

then a long journey from Delhi to London, and can i just say it has been a long time since i have seen an air hostess be so stroppy and impatient, but i give her congrats on keeping up that attitude for the entire trip. Plus another fun fact from that flight is that my chair was broken, and on sets in planes as most of you would know there is a button that you press that allows you to lean your chair back. My button did not work. My chair just slide back on it's on accord, quite a horrible predicament for the lovely lady sitting behind me.

Then to finish off this update i can quite proudly say Mum and I caught the heathrow express to Paddington station, then the circular train to Victoria station, then walked to the business to get our apartment keys, then to our apartment without once getting lost or robbed :)

 Always a positive now to sleep and get ready for a massive day tomorrow!
