England so far..

finally got the chance to update the blog :)

it is quite obvious that i surved from my 25 hours flight from melbourne to london, and it was indeed a pleasant flight.

what have i been up to?
i am currently on a 5 days Haggis Adventure Tour (a.k.a Cornwall Crusaider) today is my 3rd day of the trip, and it has been really good so far.
well let me start from the 2nd day of my trip, since i pretty much passed out on my first day. i was sitting beside an Australian girl from melbourne on my flight to Dubai for transit, we had a bit of chat and ended up meeting up in London on Sunday. we did the massive walk, if you want a reference, go google map and have a look, and u will know how far we walked. we basically walked from London Bridge to Westminister via buckingham Palace. well google map told me it is 1h 15mins walk, it actually took us about 3 hours to get there, since we stopped for stuffs that came along when we were walking.
we covered: London Bridge, Tower Bridge, St. something church, King's College, Twinning Tea first ever store, Big Ben, London Eye, Buckingham Palace. i think we almost covered most of the touristy part of london.

okay, back to the Cornwall Crusaider tour.
first day we visited Stonehenge, it's actually smaller that what i've expected, oh well still amazing. then we went to Salisbury, we did a steep walked up to the Tor, and then to a town called Cheddar, yeap cheddar cheese! spent a night there.

day two, we visited Cheddar Gorge (cave), then lunch up on top of another tor, with amazing view and weather was kinda alright, then we went to new quay where we are staying for 2 nights, it is a beach town, lots of surfers and those 'cool' people, well we went out last night to celebrate Trent's birthday (american). and i got pretty drunk because i didnt have anything for dinner, uh oh!! we went to a pub where they had karaoke night, u get free shot if u sing, so i think almost all of us sang that night. it was rather disturbing, but oh well, we had fun and what not we got free shots.

day three, which is today, the highlight of today for me was visiting St. Ives. AWESOME TOWN it is just simply amazing, look it up on google, cos i don't have a chance to upload my photos yet. sorry!! also we visited a place called land's end, we did a coast walk. it was pretty cool as well.

and tomorrow morning we are going to SURF, we've got free lesson :D
will update it when i get a chance.


anyway i need to apologise for this unstructured blog, cos i am really tired now, about to head to bed. and also I HAVE TO ABORT MY TWOWHEEL.PROJECT because my vespa went missing on my first day in London, sucks hey?? yeah i was really disappointed! but oh well life moves on!

i promise i will update a well written blog and more interesting topic as soon as possible. (also with all the photos)
once again sorry!! :)
