OO eiffel



Best set up I've seen a bum have  




Rights. Well, I might as well get this one out there too, while I have the internet to play with.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO then it was my 25THE BIRTHDAY! I wish there was 'caps lock' for numbers. Bold I guess. Yaaaaaay tho! Paris birthday. Went to the Louvre straight off the bat, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty awesome. We walked around with my jaw scraping off the floor tiles, and thinking of blimmin Mr Mackenzie, my art history teacher in high school who failed me with only 2 credits even tho I loved the class. Ah well. Saw one painting that looked like my friend Scotty if he took off his glasses, shaved, and put on mascara or something:



Anyway, moving along. To the Eiffel Tower. We managed to book tickets the night before, which I would highly recommend, as the lines were hours and hours long. One of the lifts were out tho, so maybe they aren't always so extreme. Up we go. Sweet views, but being that high up, of course. Then we went to the summit in the wee lift and I kinda felt like ergh heights, again? €15 glass of champagne at the top tho. Didn't indulge. Even on my birthday at the top of a freaky metal meccano set uuuugh no thanks. After admiring the view and me being like oksweetdonewiththehighplacesnow we went for a river walk, thought about doing a boat sight seeing thing (didn't) then walked to the Arc de Triomphe.

And on this walk the best thing to happen in Paris happened...we ducked into a supa to get some beers, then into a bakery to get some macaroons. And then it happened.  I accidentally brought the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. I don't even know what it was called, I just got it, left and then ate it. Heaven in my mouth. Shoulda got 50. It was this thing, this delicious sweet can't describe the goodness, thing, it was like a warm cookie cake biscuit, wrapped in croissant pastry, then with them almond chips and icing sugar over the top. There may have been some super secret ingredient, I don't know. Ugh it was so YUUUUUM. I feel sad thinking about it and how I'm going to go to every french bakery in London now. Just to check. Arc de Triomphe was pretty spectac too.

Obviously skirting all them long long details I usually get carried away with. Probably a good thing! Hope everyone is having a lovely March anyway, London weather is putting it on, been in the 20s all week, I feel like my face might be going a shade darker than white, yuss.

Until next time! Like who knows when. Whenever BT quit feckin round.

The Simpsons Castle ahoy Hi! Oban haha Otto the watchful dog Just turdsing up the beach... Looking for prawns Success!  Hey. Next destination please! We left for Scotland at 11 for the long drive north, following signs that actually said ‘The North’, which I thought was quite funny.   We drove past Sherwood Forest, which was near Robin Hood airport. Go robin hood.   We did get a flat tire which took about an hour to find a place to replace the back two, and luckily it was that close, there was a lot of driving where there was nothing for ages. Driving past ruined castles was pretty cool, just hanging on the side of the motorway. It seemed to start raining as soon as we went over the border haha, YAY! I   do like a bit of cloudy background. Also on the way in and out of Glasgow, they had these big signs above the motorways, the ones that generally say ‘WORKS AHEAD’ and all that, and they were saying things like, ‘why not car share?...

If you remember I came to Tarragona one other time, >AT CHRISTMAS< , when I was driving down the coast on my Christmas holidays.  Well this time we managed to find the amphitheatre, which juts so happened to be about 4 minutes from where we were staying for the night. Handy. Checked out a few  more of the old Roman buildings and walls and decided to stop for a niceee iced coffee. You do iced coffee? Yeah? Cool, two of them thanks. And what ...

We booked this place a 20 mins drive from Levanto which is on the coast and close to Cinque Terre. The temperature in the mountains is juuuuust that little bit more bearable wth motorbike gear on hahah. Intermission Last year Greer and I were going to stay in Riomaggiore which is the first of the 5 little villages of 'Cinque Terre'. I'd seen a picture of one of them on a bus, we thought we would go to Pisa, Florence and Riomaggiore for the week, and so I googled, 'how to say Cinque Terre'. Keep in mind this is a place in ...
