Day 60: Mallorca to London

Yes I am back in London. Exactly two months ago, I had just arrived here and was with my friends Krista and Kieran. It's crazy to think how fast these two months have gone by. I have loved my time here, I have seen so much, met so many people and just had an amazing time. I have one day left in London and I know its going to be an amazing day.
yesterday was a nice relaxing day of travel. Nothing crazy happened, which was good. I packed, ran a few errends, and just did random things before my flight. then around 1 it was off to the airport, and my flight took off around 4. You have got to love the cheap airlines. I flew Ryanair. hahaha, I suggest you don't fly with them. they make you pay for checked luggage, which SUCKS. the seats are uncomforable and well I don't think I would do it again. O well. the flight was a little over two hours and then I took a bus from the airport to London. the bus trip, was about the same length, but I enjoyed it more and it was much more comfortable. also there was wifi, which just makes everything better :D
When I got to London I found my hostel with ease. After I checked in I went out for one last pizza and a beer. both of which were very good. then I went out for a walk down by the water. I did the same walk that I did my first night in London. Its crazy to think how much has changed since then.
Well I have one day left here in London, and I have a LOT planned, but you will find out about it all later.
Thank you all for reading my blog and being interested enough to read my crazy writing, it has been nice to be able to write down what I have been doing and even nicer to have people read it. so thanks.
ALSO YAY CANUCKS for winning last night. I am happz because I get to watch at least one game.
BYE. for now.

Day 59: Mallorca

So I am off on my day count on my blog, by a day or something. I might be on day 60 or something, not to sure. Anyway. Thursday was a beautiful day here in Mallorca. In the morning Madiline took to me these caves here in Mallorca and I went in and took a tour around. I had never been in caves like this before, so it was pretty interesting, the only thing was the tour guild spoke german and spanish, niether of these languages do I know very well. Oh well. After that we all went to the beach. We were there for several hours. I layed there and tanned for several hours and went swimming a few times. The water was just beautiful. It was warm and you could walk out so far. We also had a picnik down at the beach too. I got a lot ofsun yesterday, and I got a tad burned, but when the burn goes away I shall have a lovely tan. AND I will be even too, no crappy tan lines. YAY. It was so nice to be able to just lay down on the beach and relax. When we got back to the house we relaxed, ate a wondreful dinner, talked and played games. Peter (Madilines partner) and I played chess, he won once and I won once. One thing I have really enjoyed about staying here is the wonderful food that is being cooked everyday. People can no longer call me picky, because I have eaten many things on this trip I have never had before. If something has been put in front of me, I have eaten it. It is Friday morning as a write this, at around 4 this afternoon I take a flight to London. I will be there for about a day then I shall fly home. I cannot belive that my trip is pretty much over now. I am excited for London because I am going to be doing something SO EXCITING. not telling what it is now, when I am home you shall hear about it.
There shall be a few more blogs to come. Bye for now. :)

Days 57 and 58: Mallorca

I have been having lots of fun in my last week here in Mallorca. It has been very relaxing and nice. I have had my own room, washroom, home cooked meals, and kinda spoiled a tad, which we can all agree is really nice. Over the past few days the weather has been nice on and off, it will be rainy sometimes, others really sunny and hot. On Tuesday Madiline and I went to a this town and went to this market. I love markets. We walked through it and looked at a bunch of things. There were clothes, food, jewlery, and other such nick nacks. I got a few things for people. We also went up to a church (like my 60th one :P) had lunch, went for coffee and drove around a bit more. Later we came back to their house here and we walked down to the beach. we took a walk, in one direction it was sunny and beautiful, in the other the clouds were dark, and there was lightning and rain. It was crazy. It was a nice day. Then on Wednesday Madiline and I set out around ten and drove around the island. We were gone until 6, so 8 hours. On our island adventure we went to a bunch of towns. There were many different weather conditions. Pouring rain at one place, and then amazing and sunny at another. We stopped in this one place and went down to the water and had a coffee, it was so beautiful. the water is just so BLUE. Part of the drive was on this really crazy road that went this way then that. I saw a bunch of the island, and its all so different. Parts are full of mountains, other flat and has lots of fields, other with long beaches. I really like it here, and I can see why people come here.
I have a few days left and I plan on enjoying them. BYE

Days 55 and 56: Mallroca

I am on my alast few day here and I will be spending them in Mallorca Spain with my family in their beautiful villa. Now when latst I wrote I was just about to leave for the airport to take a flight over to Mallorca. Let me say this, it was one hell of a trip to make it to the airport and I am soooo lucky I even made my flight. Now my plane left at 3:55 and I left my hostel at 12:30. plenty of time right. If I had gotten on the right train to the airport it would have been wonderful. I was told to get on a train on platform 9, which I did. Wrong train. so after a 40 min train ride in the wrong direction and me freaking out a bit, I get off the train and am in a panic, when I someone asks me where I am going. Lets just say this, there are some AMAZING people in this world. Three people from Venezuela were my savors. They told me what train to take (they were taking it as well) and then what bus to take (which they walked me to) and when the next bus would not come in time, the one lady said she would drive me to the airport. I cannot believe how lucky I am that I met them and how nice they were. I was so thankful to them. I made it to the airport on time and I met some wonderful people doing it. I arrived safely in Mallorca and took an hour drive to where my family is staying. Now Mallorca is an island. (look it up) and it is a very beautiful one. I ate a wonderful dinner last night and talked and relaxed. I was also able to sleep in this morning. Today we went to the biggest city on the island called Palma (where the airport is) and we walked around, looked in some shops, I went into this amazing cathedral. We ate some Tapas at a Tapas bar. I had the biggest ice cream cone today. It was also the cheapest for what you got. SO GOOD. We drove around a bit and saw some sites. I has been a good day. I just wish the weather was nicer. I want to go to the beach, and be able to swim and tan before I leave.
that is all for now. hope you are all well and that the weather is nicer than it is here, which is not bad, but not as nice as I would like for my last week here. BYE

Day 54: Barcelona

HELLO THERE. I am in a very awesome mood right now. I have been having such a fun time over here in Europe. I have met so many people. Which is amazing. I now have a week left. and that time will go by very quick. I was talking to my aunts Sue and Dawn last night on skype and they were saying how I can always come back and do this again. which I really want to. It's amazing and I love it here.
When I left off at my last blog it as evening. after I wrote it a bunch of us went to this light show at a fountain with drinks in hand. I got some amazing photos. It as a fun adventure to go out at night time. I met some really nice people on the walk there. we got home at around 1. which was fun. then the next day, Rowan and I walked around. we saw the 1992 Oylmpic stadium, and this beautiful castle. we also walked around this big park area. it was really nice. after that we went to the BEACH and tanned and I went swimming in the ocean. it was sooo nice. i like loved it. I am tanning more and more. but I still have a long way to go tanning wise before I go home. In the evening I hung out with some people at my hostel and then at 12 a HUGE group of us went on a club crawl. which means we pay like 10 euro and we get to go to these clubs and bypass the lines. which was fun. we went to two of them, and I danced and had an awesome time. one club was on the beach so we were able to go and sit on the beach. it was lots of fun.
anyway I am off to catch a flight to Mallorca to spent some more time with my family. I am going to relax and enjoy myself for a few days. I am not sure how often I will be able to do my blog, because not sure about internet, but I shall try.
thank you all for all your wonderful facebook messages about missing me.
much love. BYE

Days 51, 52 and 53: Madrid and Barcelona

I have really been enjoying my time here in spain. like soooo much. I had lots of fun in the rest of my time in Madrid. On my second full day there I saw some really beautiful things. I went to the Bitanical Gardens. they were so amazing. I spent quite a while walking around and looking at all the plants. I picked a bad day to go. it was the opening to this Photography show, so part of the gardens were closed off. which was kinda sad that I didn't get to see all of it, but what I did see was so pretty. I also went into a few churches and other random things. I went to this amazing park, where you could rent a boat and row around it. I spent sometime in the park and layed in the sun, took some photos and read. I got a tad of a sunburn. that evening I walked around with these awesome people from my hostel. there were about 9 of them in my hostel and they are taking this course, they have 9 hour school days plus homework, which is CRAZY. but they were all really nice. one girl taught me some yoga, which is really fun. I think I am going to start yoga when I get home. it was fun to spend time with them when I did. the next day, which would have been thursday, I took a train from Madrid to Barcelona. and then found my hostel. this was one of the easiest hostels to find, which is really nice. its also one of the nicest hostels I have had. I met these two really nice girls when I got there. one of them has been one of the most awesome people I met on my whole trip, we just kinda connected. sad thing was she left this morning. LAME. but we chatted lots and hung out last night, so that was fun.
On Friday I hung out with this awesome girl from the UK, her name is Rohan. We walked around Barcelona. it has been one of the best days I have had. even though the weather was kinda lame. we went to the beach, ate ice cream, put our feet in the water and walked along the beach. we ate Tapas at a Tapas bar, had coffee at this really funky little shop AND went to this amazing market. We bought strawberries there. so good. i also took lots of photo. we are going to hang out tomorrow as well. shall be fun.
I have 8 days left. which is rather scary to think about. I try not too. anyway. thats what I have been up too.
thanks for reading. BYE
