    Copenhagen!!!

    September 9, 2023 in Denmark ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Last trip of the summer (promise!)
    Spent a lovely couple of days in Copenhagen! First few days was solo, spent lots of time reading (finished 3 books!!!), eating good food and wandering around the city! Did a fun bar crawl and spent the sat w Iyad - went to a v cool food market and drank lots of expensive pints! V much in love with Copenhagen but it is sooo expensive and everyone is stupidly good looking and friendly!! Now back to reality !! 🥹Read more

    Florence and Pisa!

    August 30, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Onto our last place :( but it was gorgeous! Florence was sooo cute and we were very cultured! Went for an eve walk and stared at the Duomo for a longgg time pretending to be 14th century farmers - it is very impressive. Did a walking tour with the coolest tour guide (Aimee already knew all the info - renaissance nerd) but it was v cool. Then went to the gallery and saw lots of cool paintings!! We went out for dinner next to David but agreed that our pesto pasta was way better than what we both ordered lol :/ saw a very loud American wedding which all the Italians hated (shock) tried cannoli for the first time and absolutely rinsed a chocolate shop that gave out loads of tasters - one of the workers recognised us by our third visit 😭😭 then a quick trip to Pisa in a hostel with passive aggressive signs and a final pasta pesto dinner!!!Read more

  • Day 7

    Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast!

    August 28, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    After a long overnight train we arrived in our slightly strange accommodation for the next 2 days - a room filled with 27 bunk beds which must have been for kids bc they were tiny - it was cheap so we didn’t mind. Spent the eve in Sorrento which was lovely, had the most tasters ever at a limoncello shop and stumbled out slightly tipsy 😂 then Pompeii the next day which was crazy!!! We went into Naples for the evening and weren’t too impressed apart from the €1.50 aperol spritz and beer included in the McDonald’s meal (how cld we say no). Next day checked into a more normal hostel filled with so many Aussies. Went to Positano for the day to feel classy but it rained all day :( was still lovely though!! Went to an Irish bar called ‘the English Inn’ which (shock) was filled with Brits - now onto Florence!!Read more

  • Day 4

    Gorgeous Cinque Terre

    August 25, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    After 3 hours sleep we got the train to Cinque Terre and wow what an amazing place!! We were shattered so managed 2/5 of the towns that eve before crashing but still did all the steps up to Corniglia and the beach place Monterosso for a lil pizza and ice cream. Then an amaaaaazing sleep in an air conditioned private room 😍😍😍 next day got up early to go to the shop to get stuff for breakfast and lunch (£4 for it all we are saver queens) then headed back to Monterosso to start our hike. It was sweaaaty and we struggled at first but the views of Vernazza made it definitely worth it!!! A swim was needed before eating our amazing focaccia sandwiches and hopping onto the train to Manarola. This place was again beautiful and we watched people jumping off rocks before we stopped for a coke to cool down (€5 not quite budget queen behaviour :/ ) also got told we couldn’t play cards because it’s illegal in Italy ??? We were baffed just let me play shithead 😭 onto the final town of Riomaggiore for a mooch and a smaller walk to play where’s wallie with the people and colourful umbrellas!! Decided we fancied another meal of bread and cheese (what can beat it) and a sunset swim followed by people watching!! Then it was time to say goodbye to Cinque Terre but we’ll both be back (again with more money- finding there’s a bit of a theme with Italy). Now at the train station where we keep getting told our overnight train is more and more delayed :( will see if we make it to Pompeii!Read more

  • Day 3

    Milano

    August 24, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    The gals are back together!!!! This time taking on Italy 😎 early start to our first trains to Gatwick, a v easy flight and we landed in Milano. Sooooooo hot it’s insane - like 35 degrees at 10pm we are 2 sweat balls. Had a walk around the city but a nap was needed v quick with the heat and me being me. We were both very impressed w it though it’s prettier than I thought it would be! Went to a hostel bar and ended up standing outside the Duomo for a couple of hours feeling like 14 yr olds drinking in the park - but with a better view. Met some nice people and celebrated a 21st but felt v hungover the next day heading to Lake Como! Was a very intense experience trying to get on the bus to Bellagio (didn’t make it and got elbowed in the head a lot) and realised that Como is only designed for people who can pay for a water plane as transport ie not us - surprising I know but don’t worry we’ll be back when we’re rich!! Aimee got her swim (don’t know what would have happened if we didn’t) and it was very pretty. Another nap and more pasta pesto ofc then went to the hostel bar again! Hadn’t even poured our wine before we got bombarded by man after man coming over :// Some were nice but it was very overwhelming and I would happily not talk to another man for the rest of the trip. Didn’t pay for a single drink but tbh I’d have rather been able to speak more than 2 words to Aimee without being interrupted ://// finally met some lovely girls who tried to save us (thanks queens), went to another bar and both ended up crying in the street over how annoying men are - ofc one stopped stared and asked for a kiss as we were doing this 🙃🥰😘 thought Aimee was gonna deck him but made it home safe and now on the train to Cinque Terre!! Onto the next place where we plan to have 0 drinksRead more

    Home

    August 18, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    And just like that it’s over!!! Had a fun last night in Lima, went for tacos and accidentally ended up at a Peruvian stand up comedy night. Unfortunately we had to leave mid way through so got laughed at as we left but hey ho was a fun experience!! Then a great night to finish and 1 hr sleep for me and liv. We were both still drunk when we woke up and 7 hours later we finally sobered up wondering how on earth we made it on the plane (and how they allowed it) but made it pretty smoothly!! Still have the glitter eyes that I put on more than 30 hours ago oops. Back in ldn town now and feeling v worse for wear - this weekend is needed for recovery!!

    I want to thank all my fans for supporting me through these travels, stay tuned for my next trip soon 😎 South American Bex out (until I get sad and look at pics and post again)

  • Day 30

    Reunited!!

    August 15, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Left Lobitos to a lonely Lima hostel room (but slept like a baby so 🤷‍♀️) but woke up to a friendly face arriving in Lima! Went for a yummmm brek and then a morning surf. Got absolutely humbled by the big waves but managed to catch a couple and they were pretty cool - we both got stupidly burnt bc ended up staying in way longer than we thought shredding 🤙🤙🤙🏄‍♀️ went for lunch w some nice gals then hopped on a bus to meet Liv in Huachachina!! Finally reunited and it feels so good!!! Lots of story exchanges then beer pong- went to a dead club where the highlight was the dog! Next day did sandboarding and it was suuuuuuper fun - Alf was the fastest (shock) me and Liv were a lil scared but only skipped the biggest one (we’re not crazy) then off to Paracas! We stupidly didn’t check the buses and had missed the last one so ended up taxi-ing it (boujee bitchez) no time to nap because it was pub quiz time!! We ended up winning by a kinda embarrassing amount but it was lots of fun!! Next day got up early to go in a boat tour (stressed Liv out by being late- guess who got distracted by a cat) and saw dolphins and lots of sea lions!!! Then had a veryyyyy chilled day w a long nap, missed the sunset but went for some yummy ceviche. Then salsa class which was really fun!!! Me and liv got knocked out of the first round of the beer pong tournament but it was by the winners so we’ll allow it!! Woke up this morn and had to check in to go home tomorrow which was a sad moment :(( currently on the bus back to Lima for a final big night!!! Can’t believe it’s almost over ;(Read more

    Last week in Lobitos :(

    August 12, 2023 in Peru ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    Final pics from Lobitos! Can’t believe it’s over, what an incredible month! Spent the last week eating well, partying hard and surfing every morning - including a sunrise surf on the last day. Was super sad to leave everyone and the memories but am so beyond happy to have had the best month there!!Read more
