Euro Adventures Pt 2 - The Longest Flight & London Livin

Who even made flying to the other side of the country so GODDAM painful!! Like that is 22 hours of my life that I will never get back! URGH! Being stuck on a plane is just not something that I enjoy... Alysha is DEFINITELY not a fan. 8 hours from Sydney to Singapore - with a 30 minute stopover (which wasn't actually a stopover, we just power walked from one end of the airport to the other) then 13 hours from Singapore to London. OH LORD THE PAIN OF IT ALL! Never have we felt such pain in our legs from being so confined (and we actually got up and walked around and stretched a fair bit). We still ended up with massive swollen pregnant lady feet and drunken room spins (even though we hadn't had any alcohol).

And plane food... Don't even get me started on plane food! Except for the roll... Highlight of every meal. You sit there thinking why am I eating this garbage... Then we remembered... Oh the bread roll. LOL. Four absolutely disgusting plane meals - I will definitely have to write a letter to all airlines, PICK UP YOUR GAME PEEPS.

Our transfer guy was not there to pick us up - that was awesome. Ended up calling the company and found someone (some asshole) from the company who could get us to our hotel. Seriously this guy was beyond rude. Alysha's line of the day: seriously you don't wanna mess with us, we are feisty. #burnbitch

Oh London. You are amazing. I'm sad we only have a day here before our tour starts... The building, the shops, THE STARBUCKS, the food, the bars, the Pimms.

SIDEBAR - What actually is Pimms? That is the question of the afternoon! Is it a liqueur? Is it a fortified wine? Is it a spirit? I don't know... And I don't care... Cuz it's AMAZING!!! We visited this little pub called The Jack Horner and had a jug of Pimms and some nachos.

We walked up and down the streets near our hotel (so we didn't get lost - didn't want that to happen on our very first day) and enjoyed the GLORIOUS sunny 24 degree day, did a tiny bit of typical London themed touristy shopping:

To finish off our fantastic first day we caught with some friends who recently moved to London - yeah I do feel pretty posh saying I know people who live in London. It was absolutely amazing to be able to catch up with Brendan and Roslyn and I hope we can do it again once we return to London!

Absolutely exhausted after a very draining couple of days - we are off to sleep for our very early start tomorrow. Heading off on our Topdeck tour!!

Sweet Dreams Y'all

Euro Adventures Pt 6 - The Swiss Alps

So we were about an hour and a half out of the Swiss Alps and a massive sound hissed from the bus... It was as if a tyre had exploded... But nope... The engine... Over heated... We were stuck at the service stop for about an hour and a half while our awesome Polish bus driver did what he could to get us there... It was about 4am by the time we got there... Oh my god. In Switzerland there was the option to do a skydive out of a helicopter - which a few brave people chose to do. There was also a train up to the top of the Alps where you could do a few things - and the Alps were snowy and cool. Alysha and I had decided to have a chill day - we did some washing up and had a short nap. We went for a stroll around Interlarken (the town we stayed in) took in the magnificent views of the mountains and admired the gorgeous houses. We went into a few pubs and enjoyed some ice cold ciders which was amazing - it was incredibly hot. Noddie told us we were following the heat wave that was hitti...

Euro Adventures Pt 1 - Catch ya Aus

The adventure has officially begun. A cruisey 3 hour drive up to Sydney and we are on our way - well almost. It's waiting time, 4 hours in an airport (any airport) is never going to be a barrel of laughs. But we are surviving... With a little help from our friend T-minus one hour until boarding. Can't wait to begin this incredible adventure with one of my best friends. Oh the places we will go, the people we will meet, the food we will eat, the awesome stuff we will do!!!! We are beyond excited. I am just going to use this blog as a reminder of all the amazing things we do, see, and experience. I do not want to miss a minute of it! Our itinerary: London Paris Swiss Alps Avignon Barcelona French Riviera Venice Florence Rome Athens Sailing for 3 days! Mykonos Athens London for a week ❤️

Euro Adventures Pt 15 - Free in Firenze

Florence, a beautiful place with some beautiful building, magnificent artworks, fantastic food and the weather? BLOODY HOT! It peaked at about 36 degrees in the afternoon in Florence. We started our day by driving from our campsite into the City - most of our accommodation is a fair way outside the city. Once we got there we had to go and meet our local tour guide - Florence is one of a few places in Europe where the Topdeck leaders are not allowed to guide. Alessandro... Oh Alessandro, he was one of the most hilarious Italian tour guides I have ever seen. He had a very good sense of humour and he seemed a little penis obsessed haha. He showed us around the Palazzo della Signoria, which currently is where the Mayor of Florence works from and houses and exact copy of Michelangelo's David and many other very famous statues from when the Medici's were in power in Florence. We walked through the streets of Florence looking at all the shops (making mental notes of where we wanted...
