Disney
October 31st 2015 Today we went to Disneyland Paris, and I am so tired. I’ve been to Disney a few times, but Alice has never been. Without doubt my favourite part of today was seeing the look of wonderment on … Continue reading Disney

October 30th 2015 Today is the day before I go to Disneyland, thus it’s the day before the day before I go home. Dunno what to say. Dunno how I feel. I mean technically it’s 1am on the 31st, so I’ll be home tomorrow, but this post is for yesterday/today, I don’t f’ing know. We were on trains most of today. Three separate ones. Barcelona to Paris via Montpellier. And then Paris to Disneyland. I now only have two trains left to get. The metro to get to Paris Gare du Nord, and then the Eurostar home. Home. Yeah. Bit … Continue reading Fuzzy

October 29th 2015 Today we spent our last day in Barcelona at the zoo. But I’ve already written three blog posts about zoo’s in the past two months so I’m not going to write about zoo’s again. Today being our last day in Barcelona also indicates that our trip is over. We have no where new to go. From here, tomorrow, we travel back to Paris. We stay there for two nights, and hit Disneyland on the day in between. And that’s going to be brilliant, but it’s back in Paris. Where we started this trip. The trip has thus … Continue reading End
Barcelona
October 28th 2015 Today, sorry Mum, but I’ve decided I’m staying in Barcelona and I’m not coming home and you can’t make me okay. Good. I just love it here. There’s everything. There’s more shops than I would ever have time to go in to, there’s a zoo, there’s endless museums, an abundance of history and beauty and architecture, and it’s not just a city there’s a beach and a mountain, and there’s a port with loads of boats, and I have this weird thing where I really like long straigh roads and there’s just LOADS of them here. I … Continue reading Barcelona

October 27th 2015 Today we had our first day in Barcelona. It’s mega good here. We took today as a walking around/shopping day. After a few quiter destinations in Montpellier & Nice, we underestimated the size of Barcelona. From our … Continue reading Catalan
Mainland
October 26th 2015 Today I travelled to mainland Spain for the first time in my life. I’ve been to the islands, Ibiza, Tenerife, the other ones whose names I cannot remember. And I’ve just realised I’ve already lied to you in that first sentence. Because I’ve been to mainland Spain before. After my ski trip in January we got a bus from Andorra to Barcelona airport. I slept the entire way and woke up as we arrived at the airport. So I guess the more accurate thing to say would be “I was awake in mainland Spain for the first … Continue reading Mainland

October 25th 2015 Today we went to a free zoo. Let me reword that for emphasis. A zoo, that was free. And you’d expect that to mean a field with a couple of horses in it, but honestly it was pretty brilliant considering it was free. There was lions, rhinos, bears, leopards, hyenas, wolves, and all the fun stuff. To begin with it was a bit “I see why this is free, because I don’t see any animals.” But I think that was just because it was the hottest point of the day and the wolves were off sleeping somewhere. … Continue reading Exploit
Quick
October 24th 2015 Today we finally had lunch in Quick. Our first stop on this European tour was in Paris, where there were Quick’s everywhere, and since then we’ve craved one. Quick is a fast food joint, by the way. … Continue reading Quick

October 23rd 2015 Today I was reminded of one of the great glories of the English when I wasn’t charged for water in a restaurant. Basically every time we’ve gone out for dinner during our European summer trip we have … Continue reading Eau
Accomodate
October 22nd 2015 Today I’m in Montpellier, France. And for the first time since I was in Munich, Germany six weeks ago I am in a place that I have been to before. Although, according to my mum I was less than two when we came to Montpellier so I do not in slightest bit remember it. That’s what’s so good about this trip, seeing new places. Places that I’d never normally have the opportunity to go to, or probably will again. We realised yesterday that the accommodation we booked through airbnb doesn’t have wifi internet, or any internet. Which … Continue reading Accomodate
