Two weeks on and I'm back in England (after getting upgraded on our flight home to Business Class - we arrived back in style!) - I thought it was about time I put down some final thoughts and closed the travelling chapter of TravelBlog! I can't believe the adventure is over and now I'm back to the reality of life and the prospect of getting a job! Ok, here goes..... Total No. of flights: 22 Total No. of Countries: 12 BESTS Country: It's dificult but I think overall it's got to be New Zealand - such a beautiful country City: Melbourne - I loved it and also its the home of Ramsey Street!

We had a good time in Barbados and although the beaches were amazing (bright blue sea and white sandy beaches) I prefered St Lucia - I think its because St Lucia was a lot less touristy - Barbados was just full of english tourists! We stayed in St Lawrance where all the nightlife goes on but didn't even go out that much as were so exhausted from the last 6 months of travelling - its really catching up with us now! We did some more scuba diving but it wasn't that great as the current was really strong and we were exhausted before we even went down ino the water.

Its our last day in San Francisco today after spending 3 nights here. Its been fun, much nicer than LA but I still don't care too much for America! We didn't know what to do on our first day here so made the mistake of going shopping and again bought a few things - the daily budget isn't going too well these days! But we did find some good sales in Nine West and Guess and I bought these gorgeous stilettos for $30 (about 20 pounds) and a Guess watch for the same price. Today I need to go and get a new bag as nothing fits in my old one anymore and the handle broke so going to China Town to find a cheap bag. The shops here are quite good though and we even ... read more
