Just a small part of it though because im running out of time! I only have a few weeks left and then Ill be back in Canada!
Unfortunately plans didnt go as I had hoped. I was unable to make it to France and had to leave for London straight from Belgium.
Belgium was an interesting visit and I had a great time, but it was nothing really to rave home about. I was able to get to Brugge as well as Brussels and even got to take part in their national holiday! But again, nothing too exciting. I went to watch a movie at the cinema (midnight in Paris - I thought it was quite fitting) and ate lots of chocolate. And its actually not even as good as the Swiss make it.... sorry Belgium, you just didnt cut it for me!
So I headed to London lfor the second time last week - it was a REALLY long and hot bus ride, about 8 hours due to a delay at customs. I was hosted by 2 really nice girls from Mississauga though and even got to meet up with a guy I met in Naples. It was a FANTASTIC stay. Also, being my second time in London, I got to get a really good feel of the city and quite enjoy it. Its a little like Toronto, but more expensive! And ... just better...
The weather has unfortunately been quite shite and I would do anything for a little sun! Im becoming quite pale...
A few days ago I sadly left London for Leamington Spa. Its a tiny little town close to Stratford-upon-avon which is known for being the birthplace of Shakespeare! I hope to visit the town tomorrow, its only about 30 mins away. While in Leamington im staying in a house full of post grads! It feels like my old college days without all the studying... weve been having lots of dinner parties (yesterday I had another shot at beer can chicken! its becoming quite popular on my travels for some reason... people are amazed at the concept I suppose). Tonight is movie night!!
The next few weeks will be pretty crazy! I have no idea where to go and what to see. Also, as its coming to the end of my travels I noticed I have to be quite tight with my budget.
Im planning on ferry-ing it over to Belfast next week and seeing North Ireland. I think ill miss out on Dublin as I spent my 90 days elsewhere. Then Ill ferry it back over and do a tour of Scotland! Can't wait. Apparently its a cloudy 16 degrees over there today! yaaay
