I arrived on the thursday and as it was my first time really on my own since leaving nic, i did feel very home sick :( Luckily I soon got chatting to a couple of girls in my dorm ('I feel homesick' is a great way to start a conversation for future reference!)

The whole time we were there it poured with rain, but we managed to have fun anyway, we are English after all so felt kind of at home!!
