Travelling (Part 2) :-)

Right back to it, So I'm starting from Venice - Italy. First let me say getting to Venice was NOT the easiest. We got stranded, had to sleep in a train station huddled together for warmth and we ended up getting a bus anyway!! Literally just wanted a hug from my mum at this point. Anyway, when we FINALLY arrived in Venice, it was beautiful. Worth everything in the end. Experiencing a gondola ride along the grand canal with my best friends whilst the man is singing that's amour will forever be one of my favourite memories. The sun shining and the natural beauty is incredible.

We even 'glamped' in Venice which was an experience in itself hahahahaha, we love a good camp don't we. Anyway off to ROME.

Rome. The eternal city. I was so excited to spend a couple of days in Rome after watching Lizzie McGuire like every other teenage girl hahaha. We arrived after a sweaty train ride from Venice, to our hostel which was exactly like the Dumping ground in Tracy Beaker!! We chose to get a tourist pass for around Rome, it was completely worth it considering there is so much to do, started with the Colloseeum (completely haven't spelt that right) but hey ho, we couldn't resist singing hey now hey now around the Colloseeum, we got some looks, but I was hoping to become a pop star overnight, yet here we are. Anyway... Since I was kid, one of my biggest dreams has been to visit the trevi fountain and throw a coin in, I got to complete that little dream. I got a little bit emotional shall we say hahaha. We then just had walk round from there, finding ourselves back at the hostel. We decided to do a bar crawl in Rome, following on from Prague and Budapest, and it was absolutely hysterical. We was SO drunk, I literally remember getting home and having a pizza. sign of a good night? Time to get a very very hungover train to Florence.

Florence. One of the most romantic cities in the world, and us bloody 3 decide to turn up. As I've mentioned, we did turn up hungover, so we spent our first day in bed, with food and sweets, day well spent in my opinion.

Next day, we decided to get the train to Pisa, and we all know what's in Pisa. THE LEANING TOWER. rr it was so amazing to see it in real life. It's smaller than I expected though, and when we got there, everyone is doing the lean or push, its hilarious. OFF TO SWITZERLAND.

Switzerland. Interlaken to start. Hands down, the most beautiful, content place we went. Literally never to leave. We literally arrived, we camped here also, we literally set out to explore already. We went hiking down to Interlaken lake, and WHAT A VIEW. At first we was just gonna sunbath and swim and take in the view, but we (ELLIE) spotted paddleboards, we decided to do that. I won't lie, I won't be going to the Olympics for paddle boarding put it that way. I'd say the majority of my tan came from Interlaken/Kandersteg to be fair. Kandersteg will forever hold a place in my heart though, it's probably the most beautiful place i've ever been, the scenery is hand downs like something off Instagram. Never ever wanted to leave.

Quick sleepover in Geneva, nothing to report really, fell ill in Geneva so just slept the day away, paid £18 for a subway too. That's all folks. PARIS. Our final stop. The best till last could you say?

I can't get over how quickly I fell in love with Paris. Like I felt at home. Our first day, we did one of the things I've wanted to do since I was about 7 Climbed the 704 stairs to the 2nd floor then the lift all the way to the top of the EIFFEL TOWER. Never witnessed a view like it. And to know your standing at the Eiffel tower, is just an incredible feeling in itself, and the fact I was stood there with my 3 best friends, made me even happier. We even had a little picnic in the gardens below, we couldn't get cuter. We then just walked around, seen the Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe then took a stroll down Avenue des Champs Elysées & got depressed. After that long day probably had one of the best sleeps I've ever had, literally worn out! Our next day was full of exploring too, I loved finding all the quirky dress shops, and jewellery shops, let's just say I was in my absolute element. My favourite part of Paris, has to be the Eiffel tower at night. when it sparkles and twinkles, if you ever need me, I'll be under there.
