I know this was a little while ago now and I also haven't updated my blog in while. Sorry! Especially as I did go back to Sydney for 7 weeks over Christmas. I have a few things to talk about over there so I will do it step by step. First thing I want to talk about though (as I was there for it and it's now, I guess, a part of history) is the Sydney terrorist attack. This is my account of the event. So I remember it was on a Monday. Monday 15th December. I was s...

After feeling a little fed up with various events which are typical to life I decided to take a quick trip to Paris. My friend, Jenny, came with me too when I asked if she fancied it. So we booked a return with the megabus for a measly £45 et viola! Paris here we come! We arrived at around 7pm so we took the metro to Palais Royal - Musée du louvre to reach our hostel.

We are coming to a close on our Tobago holiday. It's been fantastic but also fleeting. A week is clearly not enough.

We have been sunburnt and tanned, some more than others (mainly John) and some even have head injuries after a bit too much rough pool time...

The location it was held at was a place called pigeon point, a very beautiful, calm beach with turquoise crystal waters. Four of us had arrived earlier in the day to check it out and it really is amazing. Photos of the place don't do it justice. The only thing that upsets the tra...

This is the first full day here for us. Obviously we are 'settling in' I suppose, but that hasn't taken long. We've discovered now that we also have a hot tub outside our room, which is an excellent find. Late night hot tub parties this week! But I've also come to realize that it will definitely be different from my other travels as there are all inclusive buffet meals (and so so sooooo much choice that you just have to have it all) and drinks. Hence why I believ...
