Bath and North East Somerset

And so begins my latest trek. My newest travel. My most recent- I’m out of words beginning with a T. Indeed, Sali Mali (me) and Le Petit Prince (Andrea) are on tour!

I just realised that tour begins with T.

Oh well!!

I begin composing as I sit in a (decidedly swaggy) car. Our two hour drive bad just begun when mum asked me if I had written the blog yet. Of course, I immediately apologised profusely for this slow work of mine- i mean three minutes in and i hadn’t started, how could I! And snapped to.

So after some hard thinking, dad came up with some bopping names for this blog, such as Pays de Gal Pals or Somebody Call Catherine Zeta Jones. But I needed something that stood out and yet blended in seamlessly with Somebody Call John Travolta!! And so, Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince On Tour! was born. However the name was too long for FindPenguins and so the tour was relegated to the description.

And since it is Sali Mali and Le Petit Prince, of course I will be writing in English and Andrea will be writing hers in French. So if you don’t understand what our blog is on about, never fear, you’re not having a stroke you’re just reading in the wrong language.

But what has happened so far? Well the twins waved hilariously from the door as we left, and I packed only this morning since I am a proud member of the Procrasti-Nation but it was cool because no one stressed, and mum reversed out of the driveway in an *admirable* fashion.

Now, dear friends it is much later indeed it is 11 at night (in english time) and i have much more to tell you.

So first of all Andrea and I sang 5sos songs into pen microphones for the entire two hour drive which was bopping and good fun.

When we arrived at the airport mum and dad accompanied us as far as they could but we had to split up before entering security. This was a sad time but Dad was very funny and so it was actually much of an average time. And then we were off and through security and the guy in security actually laughed at me because i took off my watch he was like “haha why are you taking off your watch fool” and i was like “uhhh because I always have to?” And he didn’t answer so i left it on and went to help my friend Andrea who had been split up from me and she had the bag with all the liquid and electronics haha.

But all was well and we made it through and then purchased some sandwiches for lunch and then Andrea called her mum and then we went to our gate!

But we had a problem with our passports since we are minors leaving France unaccompanied and the bro was like “where is your attestation” and Andrea was like “uhhhhh” and so she had to call her mum so she could confirm that her kid could leave the country and i was like, “do I?” And the guy was like “well you have a british passport and you live in the uk right?” And so I didn’t want to make life complicated for myself so I was like “haha yeah obviously”.

But upon a call to mum later it was revealed that this was a terrible mistake on my part since they stamped my passport and they might not let me back into the country in ten days.

Oh well!

But it was during this call that we (as unseasoned travellers) thought that the guy not stamping Andrea’s passport was a problem so Andrea went back but it was actually not a problem.

Beeteebubbleyous if my writing is terrible it’s because i am well tired. Like exhaustion.

Anyway we were among the first in the queue but it was the wrong queue and so we were supposed to go miles into the back of the other queue but some nice ladies let us go in front so thanks to them! However they were also in the wrong queue haha. They had to switch too.

But then another mini problem as the security people were like “um this girl’s bag is suspiciously big” so Andrea had to go back and check her bag size and it was good and then she came back and she came through but them they were like “uh go do it again” so she did. And spoiler alert it was still good.

But then we made it to the plane boarding part and said hello to the plane and got on the plane and then we were off! And it was great fun since Andrea has never been in a plane before. And then we watched Narnia which really slays and i realised they were kinda hard on Edmund.

But anyway once we landed it was smooth sailing, the Brits were all super polite and helpful so living up to those stereotypes!

And then we waited a small while for Dann and Dex who came and picked us up and the signs with our names were awesome it was on the whole a bop. But to get from the airport to the car it was like a maze and it was like a mile away and so we got our steps up! And then finallyyyy we were in the car and let me tell you twas freaky being on the wrong side. However some bopping tunes were played including Dad’s favourite Taylor Swift song. Furthermore (my english teacher would be happy) we had some cool conversations that seemed to keep coming back to werewolves and vampires (courtesy of Dex) and Andrea was pretty quiet since tis not easy to stay with unknown people who speak an unknown language so she was a little shy, but overall twas a fun and chill time.

And indeed I said a phrase I never thought I would say, being “I really need to swing from that donkey” since i learned the old english myth of the cartwheel donkey.

Upon arrival Ali gave us some absolutely delicious biscuits that were just amazing and we immediately got an extensive tour of the house from Dex, which ended in the front room where we played a game of her and Dann’s invention, called “journey to Unicorn Land” i think, and I won so really it is a good game.

And then pizza arrived and we ate that and watched Monster High and it was really weird because the characters have been changed (personality, design, accents, even pronouns!). To clarify: Cleo is no longer mean, the characters all look similar and lacking in the detail department, Draculaura is just American now and Frankie goes by they/them.

I was absolutely shook. Also the messaging was crazy i mean seriously the whole episode was saying “don’t keep things to yourself just go to therapy!” I feel like there were never these undertones when i was a youngling but maybe i was just oblivious 🤷‍♀️.

And after that Dex went to bed and i yacked with Ali for a bit, but then U had to read to Dex so i did, but Dex was not tired and declared a “gobbling competition” and then bit me.

So that was fun!

Anyway, we went back down and watched an episode of a series that got brought up in the car and then we watched this game show that was just crazy and might have melted my brain a little bit.

So after that Andrea and I went to bed but then I saw that Taylor Swift posted something and it was weirdly suspicious and I was like “hmm maybe I’ll stay awake till the Eras Tour” so i wrote this to keep me busy but sadly there is nary a chance that we will still be awake in 40 minutes so i guess i’ll find our tomorrow.

Anyways lads i am exhausted and this is too much for my tired head so i’m gonna go to sleep.

Honorary mention today goes to the curly wurly that Dann gave me and it was delicious and then Andrea (the crazy lady) didn’t like hers so gave me the rest. That was great.
