Geo: 53.1905, -2.89189Chester, EnglandWe got into Chester about 3:22 thinking it would be an hour stop. But Dylan had other plans. This was going to be a 2 ¼ hour stop! Many of us moaned and groaned about the amount of time, but we didn't say anything to him directly. We have usually been getting to the hotels between 5 and 6 and dead tired after a long day. Then the meals are around 7 and usually heavy type meals. This means that we would not get to the hotel to about 6:30 with a 7:30 meal time! Ugh! Dylan took us on a 20 minute walking tour of the place. Most of the Tudor style looking buildings were actually built in the 13th and 14th century with the Tudor décor added on during the 19th ... read more

I’ve done a Madonna and got myself a Brazilian boyfriend. Mine is much hotter than hers. And has a more sensible name. Although I’m not really sure how to pronounce it. He’s a graphic designer, and a model. Oh and the lead singer in a band. He’s way out of my league, but he hasn’t noticed yet. Actually he hasn’t met me yet! He lives in the jungle in Brazil. Well he lives in Manaus which is in the jungle. So I’m off to meet him, in Venezuela! Fingers crossed he is the 25 year old he claims to be and not a 60 year old with saggy man boobs. Rayna thinks he’s going to skin me alive when I meet him. I’m pretty sure he won’t. I asked him if that was his plan. Me: ... read more

This morning after an early breakfast, we caught a taxi to Dublin Ferry Port for our 8:45am ferry (Irish Ferries) to Holyhead, Wales. The port is about 10 minutes ride from the city center but cost about 16 euro (expensive, like everything else in Ireland). We checked in checked our luggage, and were on our way right on time. The ferry isn’t quite as nice as the Stena Line and it was quite crowded so we had to share a table with another man. They had a currency exchange on board so we exchanged all of our remaining euros for British pounds. We arrived in Holyhead at 10:45am and took the 11:23am train (Arriva Train Wales) to Bangor, where we had to get off and get our next set of tickets before boarding the next train ... read more

Well i never made it to Carnarefon. Maybe Simons tardiness is wearing off on me, hopefully not! HAHHA today I stayed in while the guys left first. I wanted to do some writing and call the OVARY!!! That i did and i kinda fucked up because it was still hella early but Mikey answered and he loves getting up early anyways hahaha (dont ya mikey). So talked with him for a bit which was nice, caught up to speed which didnt take too long! Had some cereal because i couldn't do another grease breaky. Then i headed down to the train station and got myself a ticket to Chester. The train wasn't due for like 20 mins so i went off exploring, not wasting a minute of my precious time. Found a nice art gallery in ... read more
