London #1 | Travel Diary

LIVE. LOVE. LONDON.

Hey wonderful people! 

I have always wanted to go to London since I was a little kid, and my uncle made that dream come true. I went to London with my uncle and my cousin. Like Scotland, we drove almost five hours to arrive to our destination. We left North Wales before lunch, we brought so much food with us so we only stopped for coffee and to use the toilet. My cousin and I wanted Starbucks but the first service that we stopped by only had Costa. 

We arrived in London early evening. When we got to the apartment, my cousin and his friend took me to see the Olympic Stadium. The stadium is situated in Stratford, London. The place was so peaceful and relaxing, if I live near the place I would probably go there as much as I could just to walk around the place. I was supposed to stay in the UK only for a week, but I decided to extend my trip for one more week. My uncle and his family got invited to attend an eighteenth birthday party, and they wanted me to go with them. I did not bring any formal clothes so after walking around outside the Olympic Stadium, we went to a shopping centre before going back to the apartment. I tried looking for a dress, but all the dresses I liked were all too big for me. I forgot to take pictures during my first night in London because I was so tired. 

We wanted to do as much as we could on our second day. The very first thing we did was travel to the famous Buckingham Palace. It was amazing to see how many people were there waiting for the guards to change, it was a really good experience to see the changing of the guards even though it was so hot. After Buckingham Palace we took the underground train to go to M&M's World. Oh My God! The only word that comes to my head when I think of the place is heaven. There were so many people inside the shop, and the smell was AMAZING. 

There will be three articles about my London trip, and this is the very first one.

Edinburgh, Scotland | Travel Diary

Hey wonderful people! How are you all? 

In case you don't know I was in the UK last month, I stayed at my uncle's place in North Wales. I went to Scotland with my uncle and his friends, we were there for three days and two nights. We drove almost five hours to get to our destination (Edinburgh). We left very early, and we arrived before lunch. We, firstly, dropped our bags to the hotel, and took a taxi to Waverley Bridge. I thought the name of the place was so cool, because it reminded me of Wizards of Waverly Place and it definitely was one of my favourite TV shows growing up. 

As any tourists would do, we went around the spectacular town with the Edinburgh tour bus. The weather was so good at the beginning the sun was so bright but during the middle of the tour it started raining. I couldn't help myself but think about my parents during the tour. My parents have always wanted to go to Scotland but they really don't have the time, they are always busy with work. I was so amaze how breathtaking the whole city was. The tour lasted approximately one hour.

After the bus tour we went inside a shopping centre called Waverley Mall. We ate lunch, and walked around the mall and did a little bit of shopping. When we decided to leave the mall it was way too early for us to go back to the hotel so we walked around town and did some shopping again. We were getting tired, probably because we woke up really early and drove almost five hours, so we decided to go to Princes Street Gardens to relax and enjoy the sun. After an hour of relaxing we decided to head back to the hotel. 

For our second day, we spent the whole day in a basketball court. We went back to the hotel to freshen up and get ready for dinner. Before dinner, we decided to walk around more. My uncle took us to Calton Hill, the view from up there was amazing. We had Nando's for dinner, and as expected it was delicious. We went back to the hotel, and slept early. For our third day, after breakfast we packed our things and got ready to leave the hotel. Before driving back to North Wales, we stopped at a souvenir shop and I bought things for my parents and relatives back here in Ireland.  

The trip would have been more fun if my parents and brother were there with me exploring the wonderful town.

North Wales | Travel Diary

Hey guys! I just recently got back from my holiday, it was totally unexpected. Before school ended I thought I was just going to stay here in Ireland. Two months ago my dad's cousin and his family from Wales came to Dublin for the weekend and stayed with us. He talked to me and told me to get my parents to let me visit them in the UK. My parents are always busy with work, so I decided to ask them if I could go on my own. When I first asked them they did not give me an answer so I kept on asking them until they finally gave me the final answer I was waiting for. I was only going to stay in the UK for one week but I extended my trip for another week.

During my second day, my uncle drove me and my boyfriend to see two castles. I love castles so much, every time my family and I go to a different county or country we always have to go see a castle. We first went to Caernarfon Castle. We spent hours walking around the place to take in how awe-inspiring the place was. The weather was not the best, there was no sun and it did rain a little bit but that did not stop us from having a good time. 

After leaving Caernarfon Castle we went straight to Conwy Castle. We did not go inside the castle, we just stayed outside and took pictures. My boyfriend took me to see the Smallest House in Great Britain. We went inside, and yup it was small. The last resident of the house was a 1.91m fisherman, the house was too small for him to even stand up straight. After walking around we decided to go home, we stopped by somewhere to buy lunch. After we ate lunch we just stayed inside the house and watch netflix. By the way, I started watching American Horror Story and it's so good.

I did not bring the camera I usually take pictures with for my blog so I just used my phone. I am terribly sorry that I do not have pictures of Conwy Castle.
