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 12 - Driving The Day Away, To Venice We Go

Sometimes I cannot believe I am on this tour, living this lifestyle, I never thought I would be able to handle it... My body may be telling me that I can't. But I will still power through! This is one of those days - one of those days where I need to power through, buck up, not be a princess and suck up the massive pain in my tailbone and endure a long day in a bus... But at least at the end we will be in one of my favourite places in the world, Venice! Already on our 11th day... 11 days away from our jobs, from our families, from our boyfriends, it's been hard, but we have tried to make every day as fun as we can - even the drive days, and this one was a long one - we did, however, have one notable stop... Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene,from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. Today we were able to stop in Verona, where the famous play Romeo and Juliet was based. It was nothing like ...

Euro Adventures Pt 7 - The Medieval Town of Avignon

Today we head off to the town of Avignon today - one of the oldest medieval towns in France. It houses the only other home of past Popes other than the Vatican. We are lucky enough to have been arriving the same day as the popular Avignon Festival which happens every July and is a massive performing arts festival. We had a long 6-7 hour drive to reach our hostel - it was a really bumpy and windy drive so I found myself feeling very ill, we stopped for a picnic lunch and were very surprised to find the strangest squat/drop toilets I have ever seen before in my life... In Australia we have long drops... But we have nothing like this. I was going to give it a try for the sake of this blog but I chickened out. I took a picture too... After a long hot drive and a couple of toilet stops we finally arrived at our hostel - WHICH HAD A POOL!!! Noddy gave us an hour and a half of free time before we headed into the old city of Avignon. Alysha and I were straight into that pool - so re...

Friends are the family you choose - choose wisely

Sometimes we get lucky and someone comes into your life and changes you forever. I have been blessed to have many people come into my life and make a massive impact on who I am as a person, I don't plan to ever let those people go - or for that matter, make sure they always know how much they mean to me! Babycakes - my bestie, met this girl while working at a golf club and we instantly clicked! She tells it like it is and doesn't put up with your shit. She is also one of the most kind hearted, generous and absolutely gorgeous girls I have ever met. She has helped me through some very dark times in my life and motivates me everyday to be a better version of myself. She is a pillar of strength in my long standing battle with obesity for which I will never be able to thank her for. I don't know how she will survive four weeks in Europe with me but I can't wait to explore the world with her. Millzdawwwggg, soulmate, realestate buddies, this chick! My sister from another ...

From this moment on
