Today my family and I had a little outing to the public aquarium/vivarium in Vienna - the "House of the Sea" as it's called here. It was quite a fun day and I took a couple of pictures with my phone to share with you guys, since it is quite the beautiful little zoo, with lots of interesting animals and maritime objects. Enjoy :).

I am back from my trip around England and Wales - and it was just lovely :)! We saw so many interesting things - Stonehenge, the Jane Austen museum in Bath, Cardiff Bay ... I've got such a lot of beautiful pictures and amazing stories to share with all of you - once I'm back home in Austria :)! Which I'm going to be tomorrow evening already! Alas, ( Read more... )

See you all in a week guys :)! Tomorrow is the first day of my travel week around England (and a tiny bit of Wales ;)) with one of my best friends, before I finally leave the beautiful UK on Sunday 18th ... We'll go to Cardiff, Bath, Oxford and London of course - a LOT to cover in just six days O.o! I'll see/read you all in about a week then :)! <3

OMG - MOST. CROWDED. PLACE. I've EVER been to! I went to the Notting Hill Carnival today, because a couple of friends wanted to go and they asked me to come along - only they forgot to tell me what a BIG event this was! I went there with the expectation of maybe the typical Portobello Market crowd - what I got was what looked like all of London out ( Read more... )

Oh, today was such a wonderful, wonderful day - and I didn't even expect it to turn into anything special when I got up in the morning ... but it did :)! I love when that happens!

After a very long night (I was up till three yesterday/today because the cat was misbehaving ... :(!), I finally managed to drag my lazy bum out of bed at about eleven, to ( Read more... )

Seriously - don't. I went on a picnic today and I ate so much food I don't think I can stand to look at even a strawberry for at least the next few days. I feel STUFFED. And the weird thing is that we never actually got to have our picnic, because as soon as we got to Richmond (where we wanted to have our feast) it started raining cats and dogs. So ( Read more... )

Another exciting day in London has passed - and what an extraordinarily exciting day it has been! When I set out in the morning my original plan had been to visit the Houses of Parliament (apparently they do tours in the summer and because I'm a nerd who is vastly interested in politics I immediately knew that I had to go and do that :)!) and then ( Read more... )

I had a really lovely day in Seven Sisters and Eastbourne today with two friends :). We went there by car at about eleven o'clock in the morning and spent some time on the beach there - fully dressed, naturally, because this is Britain after all :). Although at one point I did brave the cold waves and walked a few metres into the sea. It was ( Read more... )

So I've just arrived back from Cornwall and Devon and it was just wonderful! So many things to see and admire! I'll probably post some pictures soon and tell you all about it, but right now I'm about ready to just drop into my bed and fall asleep.

Before I do that, however, there are two things I've got to say: First, a VERY big thank you to reni_m ( Read more... )
