It doesn't really matter in which part of London we decide to spend our weekends, it looks like we always end up on Oxford Street! We were in Covent Garden all day yesterday and around 5pm we realized WE HAD to buy some shoes from ALDO so WE HAD to rush there as it was nearly closing time!! How annoying, after all that running, we didn't even find the bloody high-heeled purple shoes my sister was craving for! Oh well, better luck next time!! A few words on the famous Covent Garden. A very fancy and touristy area in central London, with a nice market where you can find colourful and extravagant bags and purses, venetian glass jewelery and hand-made refined home bits and bobs. I love Covent Garden for the talented and funny street entertainers ... read more

\oh my goodness there are so many people here, it is overwhelming, amazing but overwhelming especially as we are still abit punch drunk! with jet lag. Have had a great couple of days. Yesterday after arriving and finding our accomodation, very funny experience going up and down the same street looking looking looking and being directed by people who thought they knew but actually didn't! We are in a tiny little attic type room at the top of fifty million stairs and only one of us can stand up at a time as the roof is sloped, great london experience, we headed to the Tower of London. absolutely amazing, so old and we were given a tour by a beefeater. Saw the crown jewels while there also. Then today we headed out to the London dugeon, ... read more


Ok, so this isn't out of England travelling, but I thought it deserved an entry on my travelblog... I've been living in West London now for about 8 months, and am certainly making the most of my time in this wonderful city, anything interesting that comes my way I am there. Which is why I made my way down to Covent Garden with a handmade bag that said 'Free Hugs'... I saw this event on the internet, saying that a big group of people were meeting outside Covent Garden tube station to do some Free Hugging, so off I went to it, inviting two of my friends from University too. Arriving at the correct station, at the correct time and the correct place holding the correct signs...we were greeted by errrr no one! We waited for ... read more

Arrive in London at 1:30pm, and get a cab to the Royal National Hotel, where I had a room booked for the night. Get everything sorted out at 'The Basement' which handles all the Contiki bookings, and met Bridget in there. She had only landed at Heathrow that morning and looked very tired. After getting everything sorted in my room and having a quick refresh, I went down to the hotel reception where I was to meet Kylie. I didn't know what she looked like so just waited around to see if there was anyone that looked like they were waiting for me. I noticed someone sitting down reading that kept looking up, so I asked if she was Kylie. Thankfully this was Kylie. We left the hotel and made off in the direction I thought ... read more
