Here I’m going to document and share all of the places I’ve visited, far, wide and nearby.
UK:
Margate (Sept 2018): Weekend away for Lugi’s 20th birthday. The beach was really beautiful but it wasn’t very sunny! Hit up Dreamland (Del Boy once went) and the arcade
Devon, Barnstaple(July 2018): Went to visit overnight to pick up Elisa. Got to see Stonehenge on the way there and back. Went on the Lynton/Lynmouth Railway which was pretty cool. The coast was beautiful and the scenery all around was amazing. Could see South Wales from the beach!
North Wales, Blue Peris (~Oct 2015) : Geography fieldtrip to the coast of North Wales, for about 3 days. Awful weather and bland food but it was fun to sleep in bunk bed dorms with a few lads. Fun memories measuring pebbles to find out about LSD (longshore drift ;))
Europe:
Italy (basically every year since my conception): Visited Rome, Naples, Salerno
Spain, Madrid (August 2018): Week long lads holiday with Tom, Diego and Luigi. Clubbing most nights with the ultimate culmination of “Fuckin Monday”. Aptly named. We found an amazing shot bar called Commo, did some flaming shots, marshmallow shots, shots that burnt nose hairs and many others. Visited Puerta del Sol. We did a bar crawl with some Americans in their 20s and ended up making friends with a 40 year old woman travelling on her own!?
Switzerland, Geneva (October 2016): School physics trip mainly to see CERN. We had an evening meal in a traditional Swiss restaurant with live traditional music! Went on a boat ride on Lake Geneva and many an evening walk exploring the city. Mr Brown somehow managed to lead us through a ghetto full of prostitutes at 10am. Lodged in bunk beds with Charles, Michael, Tom Rawes, James Lang , Liam Bunker and a couple of others.
France, Paris (July 2016): Went with Elisa and her parents staying in her cousin’s flat. Visited Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triumphe and walked down Champs Elysees.
Iceland, Rekjavik (February 2016): School trip which was amazing. A stunning country covered in snow. Saw Geysers, a volcano, a frozen waterfall and spent an afternoon exploring Rekjavik city. Me Tom and Matteo got lodged with a bunch of year 10 lads which turned out to be the most fun room. We snuck out of a tiny window into the snow at around 2am and went exploring (and built a snowman). I laughed so much on that trip.
