Being in an English speaking country... That's what... When you're in the queue - such as the post office or something - you don't have to be hesitant about what to say when you get to the front!! It's amazing!
So, I'm an hour north of London, staying at my second cousin's place (my mum's cousin - that's a second cousin right?) for these 3 nights, chilling out today, hanging about in Cambridge tomorrow, then running wild in London on Friday morning before my 1:30pm flight.
Haha, I just looked out the glass panels on the front door and saw an ad for a 'barn dance' (yes, I am in a small english village afterall)... But it's on 14/7, so not for me! :P
Portugal was cool, I wish I'd had more time there instead of those extra few days in Madrid, though I did get to soak up the culture of eating and siestas in Madrid! Visiting Sintra on my first day I walked around the village checked out a ruined castle,
and then visited a palace with some random Canadian I'd picked up along the way. He hadn't done any travel before... It's always amusing hanging out with someone like that... They're amazed by the tinest things... (Yeah, check it Mel :P. )
One thing I can say for Portugal is H&S is not a big issue! These tourist sites had random stairs leading up to platforms a story up, which DIDN'T HAVE handrails or anything!!I went up anyway... :P I'll get a photo up if I've time in the next few days... I could have died!!! I could have died many times on this trip though... That was only one circumstance... :P
Lisbon and Porto were quite pretty as well. Porto was probably prettier than I attribute it to be... Seeing as I got there at 3:40pm by bus on the 26th, rushed to find a place for lunch and the game at 4, and... Was saddened... :( Stupid Italians...
Well... 2 weeks and a half till I can hit the beach... :P SEE YOU ALL!! Yay!
Enjoying double digit temperatures still!
