london eye!! its a ferris wheel that u have to pay to ride on to see the whole of london from bird's eye view which of course we didnt attempt..

Spain Barcelona!!

I am in SPAIN!!! yes again i know..

but what can i say.. guess i love Barcelona i wanna come back again haha.. *prof carlos rabasso u heard that i LOVE Barcelona* so give me higher grades please? haha..

anws i haf tons of photos... but cannot post it up urgh! no time and now in centric point they lock the PCs so that we cannot but any usb port or stuff to upload or save things.. haiz..

so u readers out there jus hafta content w words haha..

currently, its day 1 in spain and we spent it sleeping in our cots haha.. arrived in Spain late last night after much disruption and trouble to our trains.. montpellier to barcelona was cancelled, some kind french lady helped direct us to the replacement train that supposedly went to this place called portbou and from there we could get another train to Barcelona,

however, after 2 stops along the way, this train also ran into problems and had to disembark ppl for 45mins, we were then told by another nice french man who shared our carriage that if we wanted to go to Barcelona, there is another train that we could catch (which turned out to be our cancelled montpellier-barcelona train).. we bloody didnt even know where we were at that time, but we just hopped on and hoped for the best.

haha so we arrived in Barcelona at 1015pm, approximately 30mins later than our scheduled trains would.. but we aren´t complaining cos WE ARE HERE!

it has been some kind of adventure i must say..

by the way, i have changed into my 2nd teeshirt of the journey! yay after 5 days i am making good progess if i cant wash my clothes at all along the way at least i kno i will haf enuf clothes to last me.. but i think i´ll get a really bad case of hives cos my jeans (after 5 days of constant wearing) is starting to smell... n ydae cos i didnt shower for 2 days n was in the same outfit constantly, i got some hives on my elbows and knees, think its the jacket and jeans... shit.. which i cannot wash until i get access 2 a washing machine haha...

my bag pack seems to b getting lighter.. while i keep adding stuff in! so i gather either i am becoming stronger (read muscular) or the straps are finally in the right position hahahaha...

so now we are all stuck at the computers here in the hostel but we shud be leaving soon to find some food! TAPAS!!!! yummylicious hahahaha...

London 29/03-02/04

blogging from London! whoopie haha.. actually i've been here for 4 days already today is the 5th n last day.. haha.. but haven got time to blog until now..

we've got alot of photos but wait when we can use cherysa's laptop den i'll post photos.. right now im using the public computer so nt too nice to hog it for hours to post photos lah haha..

anws london has been a blast.. staying at adamotel this place kinda rocks.. well it rocks more only when there isn't many people in the room as us.. currently its full house which is a bummer haha..

n we gotta queue 4 d com haha.. but anyways most of the day we ain't around so its ok lah..

went to see quite a bit of things in london but most of the stuff were jus fleeting glances cos of the entrance fees we had to pay to go in.. like tower of london we had to pay 16pounds to tour it n we didn't want to.. same for national portrait gallery's faces exhibition haha.. so we jus went for the free stuff like big ben, kylie minogue exhibition, walked the tower bridge, london bridge, london borough's market (where it took sheer willpower to not buy anything except for an ostrich burger tt we succumbed to cos it was exotic meat haha), covent garden (its a shopping street really lovely!), leicester square, buckingham palace (the outside onli cos go inside muz pay), trafalgar square, n many many more..

n basically we got a little bimbo when we saw familiar road names courtesy of monopoly haha.. like MayFair, Euston road, Pentonville, Marylebone, King's Cross etc etc hahaha..

we also saw alot of the underground tube system here too cos we pay 5.10pounds everyday for the day pass we must utilise it as much as possible!

yes so basically my conclusion, london is a nice place to visit n holiday but only if u haf money to spare and spend spend spend! which we obviously don but we enjoyed ourselves looking @ d free stuffs and eating cheap food haha.. still expenditure was quite high lo..haha..
