Barcelona today!!!! I am very excited and I checked the weather for while I'm there - 60-70ºs and sunny - thank god. I woke up, organized all my papers, receipts and brochures from the past few days of tourist activities then starting packing. I managed to make everything fit in my back pack, although it is kind of bulky. I took a few items out remembering that I would need room for anything I buy (spanish Harry Potter is a must). I got to the bus stop in ple...

Paris day!!!!! Overall it was a long and hard but exciting day. I woke up at 3 and couldn't fall back asleep. Then my milk had gone bad so I had to force feed myself dry cereal. Getting to the train station via the night bus and checking in for the train/going through customs was all very easy. The Eurostar train is pretty comfy and very smooth. Of course I got about 20 minutes of sleep during the entire journey (about 2.5 hours). I didn't even realize we were ...

Lovely day at Dover. I got up and made my way to St. Pancras station and hopped on the next train to Dover (it took a little over an hour). Once there I wandered around the town on my way to the Castle. It isn't difficult to find. It is up on a large hill which towers over the town and everything around it. It was a rather steep climb to get up there though - one which I was not prepared for. And once you get to what you think is the top, you purchase your ...

Remember remember the 5th of November. The gun powder, treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. So I woke up instantly at 9 and had no hopes of falling back asleep. It was unfortunate because this was the only day I could sleep in for basically the next week. I spent the morning catching up on tv shows then went on a run to Primrose Hill. As always I wanted to die while running up it but the view makes it all wo...
