That jacket is even more beautiful in real life.

Rome - the first 16 hours.

This is me with my brother. We are hilarious.

This is me obviously loving the airport.
Bye England!
Hi Italy!
I totally rock the pale tourist look.

My laptop is so slow that it literally takes about four days to upload one photo. I forget this when I promise travel pictures. MORE TOMORROW

Return To Sender

Hello! Bonjour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Ahoj!

I'm back!

Ok. I have actually been back since Friday, but I always forget how incredibly lazy I am, and the thought of typing and uploading photos when I could instead be doing something more amazing - like sleeping until 4pm - stressed me out. But today I am back at work (boo hiss boo), and so I am back to blogging about inane things in an attempt to pass the long hours that I have to sit at this desk and book appointments for diabetics (my job is, like, so cool).

However, in a giant fail on my part, I do not have any of my holiday photos on my work computer, so I shall have to post them tonight. I warn you now - there are thousands. Literally. I took over 5000 photos in 17 days. I took 1500 photos just in Rome, for goodness sake. I did get a little bit carried away. The silly thing is, almost every photo is the same - I am alarmingly obsessed with European architecture, so every building I was like ohmygosh! Balconies! Doorways! Elaborate cornices! PHOTO. So I will select some of my favourite ones to post from the many places that I visited.

Have I mentioned yet how amazing this holiday was? The places I saw and the people I met...it was just fabulous. Venice was my very favourite place, but I absolutely fell in love with Rome; I will definitely be returning there soon. And of course Berlin holds a dear place in my heart - I adore it there.

Coming back after almost three weeks though, and I feel as though I have missed so much! Like the new Gossip Girl trailer - WOW. And Frankie and the Heartstrings releasing limited edition fanclub memberships - I failed to get one of these, GOD DAMN IT. You know, important stuff like that. How tragic that being away from a computer for days at a time can mean that huge gaps open in my life. Oh dear, oh dear.

I really must stop rambling now. I find it impossible to believe that people are really interested in how many photos I took of Roman window frames or how pathetic I am for actually missing the internet. But I suppose, dear reader, whoever you are, that you don't mind so much, or you wouldn't have gotten this far.
xo

P.S. I know how pre-pubescent fangirl this is going to sound, but wowohmygodwow how beautiful does Robert Pattinson look in these photos? Oh myyyy heaaarrtt. I can't help myself.

Venezia

Greetings from beautiful Venice!

I am almost a week into my 17 day trip, and I have finally found a few moments to come onto the internet and have a bit of a type away.

My brother and I spent the first few days in Rome, exploring what seems like every single inch of it. It is simply incredible - SO stunning. And we of course went in to the Vatican and saw the Sistine Chapel, which has made my life absolutely complete. It is beautiful, beautiful. I was breathless, it was so beautiful.

Then we joined onto the group trip that crawls across Europe, and so far have seen Verona (ohmygosh, perfection!) and VENICE, which is the lovliest place that I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE. I could not believe how perfect it was! I could have cried, it was so pretty.

Time is running out now, so I must go. I return home on the 20th, so I bid you farewell until then (that is unless I get too tired to party and crank up the internet instead.)

Ciao!
