Suitcases packed, GoPro and a selfie stick in hand.. We were off to Europe! My sister and I flew with China Southern - the flight was good but we hated our layover in China. Not to mention the airport was a bit confusing that we almost missed our connecting flight to Amsterdam.

London, my favourite city! My 3rd time in London, and I arrived on Pride Day! Every one of my friends in England are just as important to me as the ones in Australia. I sure missed them a lot!
On the day that I arrived, I trooped on as jetlagged as I was. The beer Guinness, was so strong, I felt it half a scooner in... Oops! You can imagine what happened from there...Read more

The beautiful Kensington Palace!

I don't have snapshots of when I was here in 2011 as I lost the majority of my photos.. But I did go inside in 2011, however not this time around.

The London Eye 4D experience is one of my favourite tourist activities in London, and I've done it every time I'm in this beautiful city. It is just a short minute film and it may not seem worth it for all the fuss, but this short clip makes my heart skip a beat.

I love London!

Here we are, waiting in line to get our tickets and for the film to start!Read more

135m from the ground... AND WE'RE OFF!

When in London.... This is a MUST!

The ride takes about 45min, and it's roughly £20. I'm not too sure as every time I bought it with deals and other attractions. Our attractions were the London Eye 4D, London Eye, and the London Dungeon, for roughly £40.Read more

Gallery Hyde Park Hostel
June 27, 2016 in England ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
The hostel itself had quite the quirks. A lot of stairs for us to get to our room! Free breakfast and wifi, however due to the height of our room we couldn't get any wifi there but a few floors down we were able to.

We stayed in a 3 bed room with a shower next to the beds. Although we found it quite weird there was no shower curtain?

Bright and early outside of our hostel! And I took a selfie!Read more

Camden Town Market...

It has a very alternative vibe, much like Brisbane's West End except it was humongous and the atmosphere was unreal! Camden market runs every day and it is one of the major tourist attractions in London.Read more
