We woke up after having an amazing sleep cos there are 2 doors between the lounge and mum and my bedroom in this hotel so no audible snoring!! Whoop whoop! We had already booked a tour for today but none of us really knew what it involved so we figured out the metro and headed down to the depot of where the bus tour started. The day had started with some sun which we were all excited about but as we were lining up for the bus it started bucketing down with rain and it is the only day so far we hadn’t bought an umbrella with us! So we all got soaked! But was great to get in the bus. We did an hour and a half tour around Paris where I listened to the ... read more

Up nice and early again for another full day starting off with me meeting sarah for breakie at Starbucks in earls Court. It was really good cos I wont see her before she now goes home in a few weeks so was cool to catch up with her. I then met mum and dad at the train station to begin our last day in London. It was another fantastic grey wet day in London! Surprise surprise! We had a river cruise planned for the day but we have already done alot of the main attractions now which makes today not quite as full. So we headed down to Westminster pier to start the day by visiting Westminster abbey, big ben and parliament house. Big ben and parliament we just gazed at and took a few snaps ... read more

We were up bright and early today at 5.30am to head into Wimbledon to start our lining up for ground passes experience! We weren’t staying too far away which was good so we got there about 6.45am which we were pretty proud of really! We joined a queue of people where I was number 2807 in the queue and began our day in the cold rain waiting waiting waiting! We had been told there was entertainment while in the queue but I think it was just so wet and miserable that even they decided not to brave it! Mum and dad were stoked that they could purchase a 3 pound picnic mat to sit on with a free paper and fundraiser size choc bar! It was a solid highlight of the morning and a topic of ... read more

We regretfully had to check out of El Vistamar this morning. After one final breakfast, one final session of “stuffing of stolen treats into Rach’s handbag”, and one more demolition on the pool table, we left our Majorca paradise and waved goodbye to Tomeu’s. Armed with a Google search of Majorca’s best beaches, we proceeded to visit S’Amarador Beach, a quiet little beach paradise hidden amongst a national park. I emphasise HIDDEN…we couldn’t find the bloody thing. Sue the stupid GPS was barking instructions to head down streets that didn’t exist and we ending up on bloody goat tracks that our little Toyota buzz bomb was never equipped to drive down. To say we were lost was an understatement as we almost drove into a drug lords beach side mansion (let’s go with that anyway). After ... read more

Wake up, super excited this morning as today is bike-ride Majorca day. I spring out of bed, throw open the curtains expecting a blast of morning sunshine but am quickly disappointed with the presentation of a grey and overcast day, and the soft pitter-patter of rain on the ground below. Umphhhhh, it’s not supposed to rain in Majorca, especially not during summer. That’s the sort of shitty weather we left for little Queeny as she floated down the Thames for her golden jubilee. But I digress. So we bugger the morning away, slowly eat breakfast and wait for a break in the weather. It comes just prior to lunch, and we venture out and select our shiny new 2-wheeled beasts from bike shed. On looking up at the heavens, we decide we’d better grab lunch as ... read more
