Well heylo folks! Never written one of these before or even read one, so this could be a complete pile of rubbish, il just wait and see! I´ll try and update as often as I can, but I know what I´m like!!
Righty ho, not really sure where to start, but think I might miss out the very first flight since I can´t really remember much of it, lets just say my top was a tad damp once I got off!! Can´t believe the emotion of the past week, I know I never expected anything like it and I don´t think you can til you experience it. Not going to go into how much I´m going to miss everyone cos they all know themselves. Anyways, arriving in London cheered me up, it was a gorgeous day and I could see the entire of London stretching out infront with the River Thames running through it, felt like I was in Eastenders! Had a while to wait in London, but eventually met up with everyone else and set off on our 11 hr flight to Brazil. Never been on a long haul flight before so it was certainly an experience - the plane had TWO floors!!! First class even had like their own little pod things, could be beds or seats or whatever, jealousy!! Got to watch Shrek 3 on my own wee screen, which in my emotional state started crying at, haha!!! Slept most of the flight thank gawd.
Had another AGES to wait in San Paulo for our connecting flight, 5 hours, and when we eventually got on were made to sit for another hour and a half before moving, meh! Eventually touched down in Paraguay at 12.30pm local time, TWENTY NINE hours after leaving home, argh!!
First impressions of Paraguay are hard to describe, even though we were in the middle of the city it still felt like a small town. Because we were in a shopping mall everything looked really modern, but we were warned about that. Apparently it´s been a really cold winter but luckily it was a really nice day today, everythings very dusty and old looking though. It feels quite quaint at the moment, quite scared to nosey about though after all the security warnings we´ve been given so far. Staying in a hotel for 2 nights before going to our families, this hotels really weird!! It´s really dark so kinda freaked out, medieval lifts and carpets on the wall, then turn the corner and there´s marble walls, then wood, then plaster! randomness!! went on a huge hunt for the pool, which we eventually found on the roof, only to find that something was missing - water!!! onland breaststroke anyone, kelly?!?!
Anyways I´d better go cos we´re getting picked up for dinner soon. Oh yeah, gutted I never took my straightners, never took them cos everyone thought i was being stupid and laughed at me, well i´ll have you know that Helen´s taken hers!! GUTTED!!!
Love to all, missing you already.
That Girl At The Other Side Of The World.
