Wanderlust

Wanderlust: a strong desire to travel 

SO. I've been doing quite a bit of travelling lately! After my finals, and after packing all of my things up (storing them for the summer), I went to London to meet up with a few of my secondary school friends. It was really great meeting them again <3 We went to watch Jurassic World hehe :D One of my friend was laughing inappropriately whenever someone gets eaten by a dinosaur.. *ahem* -.-

Anyway. After that, my family and I went to EDINBURGH! Despite the sun, it was really windy there!

The Castle :D 

View from the top of the castle~ 

Holyrood Palace! We were not allowed to take pictures inside D: But it was definitely super fancy! My favourite bit of any castles is the beautiful and intricate decorations that can be seen on the ceilings! 

We climbed up the mountain near the castle :) 

After that, our little vacation brings us down to the HADRIAN'S WALL. TBH, I expected more... :P The view was spectacular! 

Ah yes, after Edinburgh, Celine joined us :D 

Of course I had to climb on top of the wall... :P Never mind the fact that I was wearing a maxi skirt that day LOL 

 We then continued our journey down to LAKE DISTRICT

I have heard so much about this place from so many people, and it is even more breathtaking than I had expected! 

<3 

We took a ferry across to another island :) 

Celine and I also had temporary tattoos because... glitter tattoos..! :P 

We also went to NOTTINGHAM for a day, where we went to the castle and to the University :) 

This is a very nice outdoors cafe place in CAMBRIDGE - perfect for when the weather is brilliant and you just want to chill and relax with a nice cup of tea and, of course, SCONES!! 

It's called 'Orchard Tea Gardens'

I was extremely pleased with my choice - raspberry, cranberry & elderflower fruit tea :) 

Oh, we also had to move my brother's things down to London... So we rented another car from Europcar, and they gave us a free upgrade to a Mercedes Benz ;) woop woop! 

Then at last, the day of my brother's graduation :) 

And um, Celine really wanted the pink balloon.. :P 

Ah yes, later that evening, we went to see Taylor Swift in Hyde Park, London!!! She was simply AMAZING <3 the concert was so much better that I thought it'd be! My dream of watching a live Taylor Swift concert had finally come true!! My friends and I had arrived later than everyone else, because there were a bunch of other singers before Taylor Swift and we weren't that keen on waiting for that long. I mean, we could see the big screen just fine - if you ignore those people who would ride on other people's shoulders -.- We did manage to sort of see her... :p but she was super tiny hehe :P it was still an amazing experience and like she said, a dearly cherished memory <3 

SO. Right now, I am in GREECE! I know the current economical situation is not exactly ideal, but I don't think it will affect me that much. I can understand my dad's concerns, and I do wish that I can make him worry less - without giving up this amazing opportunity. The AIESECers here are extremely friendly and so lovely and adorable :) I am really glad I am able to meet them! They have been so welcoming, kind, sweet and so warming and supportive, always looking out for me and always recommending yummy foods to me haha! As my host lives about 5 minutes away from the port, we would walk down there quite often for food - there are a long stretch of cafes and restaurants along the port. The view never cease to amaze me :) And I can't wait to go to the beach here - it must be spectacular!

The ferry port - sunset :') 

My host's ADORABLE CAT <3 He has really warmed up to me hehe and he's a total sweetie :D 

I really do hope that my dad will let me stay in Greece until the end of my internship. I don't want to leave this place :( But regardless of when I leave, I will try to enjoy every moment of my time here :)
