interrail diaries #1

 Long time no blog blah blah,.. i am sad about it honestly but life can get a bit all consuming sometimes lol! Anyway, me and my bestie have been planning an interrail trip for a while and so i thought i’d write some blog posts about it ^.^! We are going for 8 days and going to 3 countries: France, Belgium and The Netherlands! 

First stop was the eurostar from London to Paris which was honestly so fast.. we played card games the whole time mainly hehe.

pointing at nothing xD

Arriving in Paris with our huge backpacks we headed to our first food stop of the trip- Cloud Cakes, which is an all vegan bakery. We navigated the metro to get there and sort of made some sense of the ticket system?

croissant!!!!

We arrived at our accommodation which was like 40 mins away from the centre and were greeted by some cute cats ^.^ the other one was really shy but this guy came to say hi!

After a relax we went to our booking at the Paris Catacombs even if we were late because a metro line was closed! The catacombs are made up of the limestone quarry’s that are all underneath Paris and exist because when the graveyards in the city were overpopulated they needed a special place to display the bones. No pics of the actual bones but trust me it is really eerie, but also quite existential. 

creepy tunnel 

Post catacombs we needed a pick me up so we headed to a Vietnamese place where i got the most scrumptious tofu curry.. i am gonna be dreaming about it for years i think!

evan got a curry pho.. also delish!

We were pretty close to the Eiffel Tower and Hotel des Invalides so we walked through the picturesque streets as the sun set. The Eiffel Tower was all lit up by the time we arrived which was so cool. It was just amazing to see it up close!

sparkly….

I was for sure so tired by this point so we headed back on the trusty metro to the accommodation and I collapsed lol. 

Have you been to Paris? What was your favourite thing to do/see? So far it’s been really fun! Sort of like london but honestly a lot nicer in some regards haha. 

Stay tuned for more updates ^.^

Rainbows are a good sign, right?

Back again,, blah blah blah. Didn't want all my posts just to be movie reviews so this should split it up a bit lol. Last weekend, I went to see my friend in Wales and I proceeded to loose my phone on the coach and then find it, and then loose my camera on the train - has not been recovered </3. It was a wild weekend honestly, and although seeing my friend was great nearly loosing my phone caused me to go a bit crazy. As much as I can claim my phone is not an important part of my life, sadly it is, as I needed it to get home (coach tickets) and so much of my important things e.g passwords and phone numbers are on it. Getting it back was a bit of a rescue mission, that was spearheaded by my beloved friend as we sat at the bus stop. We were able to intercept the coach at its last stop thanks to another friend who lived near the terminal and was able to free it from the grip of the coach driver. Have never been so grateful to have friends in random places before. <3

As for my camera,, I think it fell out of my bag when we were on the train. Most of it I think was backed up already but it still sucks as it was my beloved cybershot I've had for 9 years... I did take some phone photos of the trip though.

Castle!

Even with the drama it was fun to see my friends! Probably need to take better care of my belongings though. I saw two rainbows on the way home so I must be doing something right lol? Been having more fun with my hair lately~ here is something I did for church today. 

Today I also went to a charity shop I usually don't go to because I have barely found good stuff in there before. Well, I was wrong! I found lots of cool things, even stuff I didn't get because I was being restrained.. lol.

I found this poncho for summer!

I nearly left without this dress :0 It's soo cute and more of a chocolate brown than the picture.

Whoever donated these must of liked Kim Deal hehe. Never listened to either of the full albums so I was excited to find them =)

 

Not an excuse but I've been busy working on my Thursday shrine as of late but now that's done I will return to the blogsphere. It has been one of the most fun projects I've ever done on my site though, there is more JavaScript in it than ever before *gasp* and I've actually managed to pull of things I didn't think were possible in the past so that's pretty awesome. There's also a quiz if you were curious about which Thursday album you are! Must.. return to making film log.. agh...
