Day 35
Goodbye London😓
October 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Just a few pictures to share from the end of London. First, the NFL game I attended (AHHHHHH IT WAS SO FUN). It seriously was a blast. I had a great seat, sat by myself but was surrounded with amazing fans that were super invested in the game which is truly the best, and I got a T-shirt. The whole area was decked out in Jacksonville stuff so I became a Jaguars fan for the day. My last full day in London was on October 6. It really was a blast. I went with Sarah and Mitchell to a test kitchen in Notting Hill. We paid 7 pounds to get in, they seat you in a bookstore, and then you are served a 3 course meal. They try new recipes daily. It was super good and such a fun experience. Then we went shopping at Harrods… love. I found the most amazing pair of sunglasses that I decided to pass on as it would be a poor financial decision. BUT I did buymyself a curling iron because I was tired of my straight hair. Unfortunately I will now forever have a curling iron that plugs into a UK outlet. So I will always need an adapter to use it hahaha but I’d say it was worth it. Lastly, I put together a very short video (a “reel” as we like to call it) of some clips from London for you to see.
Overall, London was fantastic. It seriously is the most beautiful city with beautiful people. It is big, there are so many things to do, so many different types of food, great public transportation, and we really lucked out with great weather for our time there. I MUST go back soon. The next update will detail how our group finally made it to Berlin after a cancelled flight:) stay tunedRead more

Another day in London

When in London with a lifelong soccer referee, you can’t NOT go see the world famous Wembley Stadium. Adam was thrilled. It holds a few “best and biggest” titles - it is the 3rd largest stadium in the world, has the most toilets in any facility in the world (over 2600), it is built in such a way as there are NO posts or obstructions in the entire facility, it has an amazing retractable roof, and lastly, was the venue for the world renowned Live Aide concert in 1985. It was a fantastic tour.

We then took a boat ride down the Thames to Greenwich park, Maritime museum, and the Royal observatory. Again, can’t NOT visit when in London with an Astrophysics major. Fascinating learning all about the Greenwich Mean time and seeing the historic facility.

Then I coaxed Adam onto the the London Cable Car across the river. (Really didn’t know he had such a fear of heights - the things you learn when traveling together). Beautiful views.

Journée commencée par la visite du palais du roi, juste au bon moment pour assister au changement de la garde 💂‍♀️ magnifique! Par contre, on a loupé la sortie du Roi 🤴 de peu après sa sortie au balcon!

Ensuite promenade et lunch dans Hyde Park avant de passer chez Harrods rayon alimentation - superbe et dommage qu’on avait déjà dîner 😄

Après retour sur Covent Garden pour aller découvrir le quartier de Soho.Read more

Day 1
Def Leppard & Motley Crüe
July 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Izkāpjot no metro uzreiz ir skaidrs, kurā virzienā jādodas. Vemblija stadiona arka redzama jau pa gabalu. Pēc cilvēku masām, kas plūst arēnas virzienā ir skaidrs, ka visi dodamies viena mērķa vadīti.
Plūsmas organizācija izcila. Viss ir daudz un galvenais - pietiekoši. Rindās nav jāstāv ne pie ieejas, ne pēc alus un pats galvenais - arī ne uz tualeti.
Alus kā jau sagaidāms padārgs - 7.85£, bet ko padarīsi. Šodien iekšējais žīdiņš jāatslēdz un jābauda koncerts.
Tā kā koncerts ir garš, tad visiem ir sēdvietas. Mūsējās ir tieši pret skatuvi stadiona otrā galā. Pašus māksliniekus redzam kā punktiņus, bet ekrāni ir lieli un skaņa arī tiek līdz mums. Un kas par skaņu! Īpaši izteikti skaļi Motley Crüe laikā, jo Vinss vokāli vairs nav tik spēcīgs kā astoņdesmitajos, tāpēc tas tiek kompensēts ar pamatīgu bungu un basģitāras tusiņu. Lai vai kā, man baigi patīk tāpat. Def Leppard dziedātājs Džo Eliots manāmi labāk sevi uztur formā un tas uzreiz ir sadzirdams. Viņš var dziedāt dzīvajā - un kā vēl! Tomēr brits Vemblijā. Neliekas, ka varētu būt labāka vieta, kur uzstāties.
Kopā 6h ko pavadījām arēnā paskrēja nemanot. Vai koncerta kvalitāte tieši skaņas ziņā, ne mākslinieku izpildījuma ziņā bija izcila? Drošvien ka nē. Vai tas mums traucēja un nepatika? Arī drošvien ka nē! Neko nenožēlojam! Dodiet vēl koncertu biļetes! Nākošreiz tikai Vemblijā vajadzētu tirgot biļetes arī pa visu laukumu. Lai arī stadionā bija ap 60'000 apmeklētāju, 58'000 no tiem izskatījās, ka stadions ir pustukšs, jo centrālajā laukumā bija tikai puse izklāta ar sēdvietām. Pārējā puse mērķtiecīgi atstāta tukša. Kāpēc? Nezinu.Read more

London var i live igen. Mennesker alle steder.
Vores fodboldbilletter dukkede endelig op, men vi kunne ikke rigtig se hvor vi skulle sidde. Det synes jeg var lidt underligt. Der stod også noget med en box.
Vi forsøgte at tage på Sherlock Holmes museum, men køen var desværre alt for lang. Det var synd for Rasmus.
Efter et besøg på Pizza Hut kørte vi mod Wembley. Her blev vi guidet mod områder, som så mere og mere fornemme ud. Heldigvis var der stadig “normale menneske” omkring os - lidt endnu. Til sidst blev vi eskorteret til vores lounge af en fin dame. Fodbold med stil!! Jeg blev voldsomt nervøs for at være blevet taget ved næsen, og resten af familien var flade af grin.
Efter er en del nervøse minutter, fik jeg kontakt til bureauet som solgte billetterne, og han kunne berolige mig med at jeg nok var blevet opgraderet i sidste øjeblik. Det skal jeg love for. Det var for vildt.
Kampen bød på 5 mål og 800 kr. i oddsgevinst.
Så snart der blev fløjtet for sidste gang, styrtede vi mod Løvernes Konge, hvor vi fik endnu en fantastisk oplevelse. Hold nu op, hvor var det imponerende.
Sikke en dag!Read more

Sieg für die Seahawks!
October 14, 2018 in England ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
Malins Lieblingsteam gewinnt souverän 27:3. Die Raiders haben heute nicht viel zusammen bekommen, zu dem hatten sie während des Spiels einiges an verletzungspech. Die Seahawks waren von Anfang an die klar bessere Manschaft und haben durch ein deutlich mutigeres Spiel verdient gewonnen.
Malin ist natürlich Happy 😊😊😁Read more

Auf ins Stadion
October 14, 2018 in England ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Es war mega voll auf dem Weg ins Stadion und die Wegführung war auch nicht ganz so ausgetüftelt, aber wir haben es ins Wembley Stadion geschafft. Oh Boy ist der Ring ums Stadion hässlich. Nicht nur das es dort recht eng wirkt und alles sehr lieblos kahl ist, so war auch die Durchgangsschranke, an der man seine Karte scannen musste, extrem schmal. Für Leute die Angst in Engen Räumen haben echt nicht zu empfehlen. 😁Read more

Es nieselt ganz schön und ist frisch, aber mit etwas Glück sind wir um eine Riesen Menschenmenge herum gelaufen, wodurch uns ein langes stehen im Regen erspart blieb. Wir haben beschlossen den Tag hier zu beenden und uns direkt ins Bett zu begeben, sobald wir zurück im Apartment sind. Das war ein schöner aber auch anstrengender Tag und für heute muss es reichen.😊Read more
