Easter Holidays
Hello all,
So i am still in our Easter holidays at the moment! Now back at school for a couple days after a lovely week in Reigate which included a trip to London! The coldest and most miserable day possible was the day i chose to head on up to the big and infamous city of London. It was very nerve racking catching multiple trains and them when i arrived at Victoria station there was just people everywhere! busy, busy, busy!
I managed to find my way out of the station and onto a street where local tour people hassled you for a 'bargain' whilst i found a map and looked up Buckingham Palace. I met three women from Texas who were also trying to find their way to the palace so we all walked together. We were very close alreday, just a short walk and we arrived at the huge tourist destination. Luck of the draw and the changing of the guard just happened to be on the day i went! So we stayed around for nearly two hours in the freezing cold waiting for a sign that something was going to happen, apart from the enourmous crowds! It took little over an hour before we even saw a guard or a horse. The flag was up on the castle which i believe means the Queen was home, but i expect she was a bit under the hammer as she didnt grace us with her presence outside in the charming weather.
After standing still in the coldest weather imaginable i literally couldnt move! My whole body had stiffened up and it was just horrendous. I ended up getting on a hop on hop off bus tour which took me around the mian sites of London. Saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, The London eye and much more. I had a short stop at Oxford street, where i checked out the streets and tried to warm up with some walking. By the end of the tour it was 4.15pm and my train left at 4.30pm so i timed it all very well. The train ride home was peaceful, but nearly too peaceful as i found myself drifting off to sleep!
Cold, Cold, Cold!

Big Ben!
Hyde Park
Westminster Abbey
Today i have packed my bag after talking to the fam for nearly three hours this morning. Half the time there wasnt much talking but rather me sitting on the ipad watching TV with Mum and Tess! Which was great as i discovered i havent seen the whole series of revenge yet. Also i have been on the computor for a couple of hours now printing and reading up about Paris. Trying to work out the metro and RER system is way too difficult for me, but we'll see how it goes! getting excited for Skiing now, just hope i dont break a leg, even though i have insurance, as i will have a very poor visit to Paris if i do!
Hope these photos and words from myself have kept you a bit more up to date with whats going on in my world. Will post all about France when i get back!!
bye bye for now!
