Barcelona! Casa Mila!

After we left Park Guell, we took the metro down and hit up a nice cafe for some refreshments. Once we were finished with them, we headed across the street to visit Casa MilĂ  which is also known as La Pedrera ( The Quarry.)

Liverpool

Arriving back in Liverpool after taking the train up from London at the end of my Topdeck tour I stayed in the HOAX Liverpool which is a really funky hostel thats also attached to a cool restaurant called Hopscotch. I needed to stay in the hostel for two nights before I moved into my lovely new house.  The location of HOAX is perfect for exploring Liverpool as it's right in the centre.

What will be my next big adventure?


The weather has not been too great in Liverpool the past few days which sucks as the days when the sun is out are amazing. I'm trying to plan my next adventure but struggling with where to go and when and how to get there.

I would love to see Iceland, Ireland and Northern Scotland.

I want to go back to Edinburgh, Bruges and Amsterdam.  

Jamie and I are planning several day trips out of Liverpool, hopefully getting to Southport and North Wales soon.

I want to save Ireland for when my mother and sister come over so its as new to me as it is to them. 

Do you have any ideas for me?  The crazy Ryanair deals are tempting me.

Back to London


As mentioned in my last Topdeck post featuring Bruges, it was the last day of my tour and we had just left Bruges to head from Belgium into France to Calais.  The drive from Bruges is little over an hour which seemed to fly by way too fast. Soon we were off loading our beloved Topdeck bus for the last time. Making sure we had everything as we would never see it again.

In Bruges

The morning of the 24th of April was very hard. It was the dawn of our last day of the tour. I had been hanging around with all these lovely people for sixteen days. I could have done with 16 more. We left our hostel, making our way through the quiet streets as we headed for where the bus was parked waiting for us.
