being there

I am just so in the mood to blog it is unreal. So here goes some adventure stories!!!

After arriving at Norwich it soon became quite clear that the town itself is silly, not too much to do. So we plan travel trips! First stop was BRIGH-ONN!!!! aka Brighton.

Booked some train tickets and a super amazing hostel with a fireplace AND sink AND only 4 beds for us 4 travelers (though we did not know that fact at the time), and off we went. My spastic traveling tendencies quickly came out with my spastic packing and frequent misplacement of important objects such as train tickets, but somehow we all made it to Brighton in one piece.

We had some trouble with doors that day, apparently 'push' means 'pull' in my language, and the people on the inside of of the hostel thought it would be hilarious to watch us attempt to open the locked door 78+ times. When we finally got in, we went to our super classy room, investigated, and had a dance party.

We then went and investigated the city, went on the pier, had some fish and chips that were served with a nice loooong piece of the waitress' hair mmmm just how I like it, and then went to the Fishbowl and observed some nice British guts. Yum.

After living like indie rock stars in our hostel room for a bit, we picked up the fourth member of our party and out we went to some super classy places.

The next day we adventured, shopped, adventured, shopped, and went to the Royal Pavilion, which was even sillier my second time there. I still want to sneak in and throw parties there when I move to Brighton to fulfill my goal of being a dread-locked hippie on a bike. Gosh I love Brighton.

Sunday Momma Berk came in from Bogner Regis and we went to a nice lunch. Then we left soon after and caught an earlier train back to UEA wooot!!!

Travel adventure number 2: London for a day. This day was action packed and filled with activity, beginning in Camden and ending sitting on the floor in an overcrowded train. A brief list of sights seen: a naked man on top of a building in Trafalgar Square, paintings by Monet, Manet, Picasso, Andy Warhol, Van Vogh, as well as sculptures by Jeff Koons. A-mazingggg, a watch that cost a million pounds practically in Harrod's (the best department store on earth, so great), GOOODGE street, and loads more. Also ate some wicked Chinese food in Camden.

Travel adventure number 3: London calls again ooo-wwooooo!!!!! This time to see the goons from the Wales trip. SILLY SILLY adventures include: Prick up Your Ears (comedy? hmm), randos, some shopping, eating doughnuts the size of our heads (after a huge meal of tofu yummm), a birthday dinner, not getting lost, and generally bonding with the goons. So good to see them. Also so amazing that we met up in London. But I digress

Planned adventures: Leeds and back to London, Amsterdam (counting down the days to this one), and either Edinburough or some place cooler like Greece!

Enjoy the trip.
