Ao Nang March 2013

Day 2

After a bit of a lie in I ventured out for food before starting my beach day. I got to the beach around 2pm, the sand was fine and the Sun hot which is all that really mattered to me at that day. It's not one of the nicest beaches I've been to or anything special but it served its purpose.

I laid my towel on the sand and tried to sunbath but found I was WAY too hot so jumped in the sea immediately. It was cool and no heavy waves of any kind, just what the doctor ordered. So between the sea, sun bathing and listening to my iPod 3 hours seemed to fly by and I headed back to the guesthouse which turned out to be the perfect timing as as soon as I was inside it started raining heavily. I must say I would not have been happy to have been caught in the rain in my bikini :(

After a well needed shower and copious amounts of catching up with friends, family members and the infamous Facebook we decided to get some food. Don't get me wrong I love Thai food but change is good every once in a while so we decided to get some Western food in the form of Italian food which was a nice change of pace. The are at least 10 Italian restaurants in Ao Nang for some unbeknown reason, in addition to some Indian restaurants.

In search for a bar we wandered to the other side of Ao Nang where we hadn't been before and discovered Thai street food which I have missed dearly from Bangkok, the food in addition to the cheap cost of it. After a few drinks we stumbled across a bar with a band playing country music at first then proceeded to take requests and were playing the likes of Aerosmith, The Kings of Leon and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. A pretty cool band with pretty cool music, after another drink and another failed attempt at Connect 4 I proceeded home for my well needed beauty sleep :D

Praha 14th April 2011

Trdelnik We woke up at 8:45 to the sound of drilling as there were some roadworks going on outside our windows :(  Everyone got showered and dressed and we left at 10am to go to the Old Market Square, we saw the Astronomical Clock, walked around the market and had these sugary sweets called trdelnik. There were several stalls selling them. They are the most devine dessert I've ever had and the thing I miss the most about Prague. It is made out of dough and like a pretzel but with a more crispy consistency. It is made by wrapping the dough around a roll pin type device which is then rolled above hot coals to cook the dough. After it's golden brown it is then rolled in a sugar and cinnamon mix. Then you get to wat it! This has to be tried and searched for when you go to Prague as it's delicious! Trdelnik Outside the town hall there are several tour guides waiting to with umbrellas which is a sign that they are tour guides. Some are free and others you need to

Buenos Aires April 2013

Today I attended my first Spanish class. I was supposed to have group classes but there is nobody else at my beginner level so I am having 1:1 classes at the moment. I currently have 2 hours of lessons per day and if I change to a group classes I will have four hours a day. It was a bit weird at the beginning, kind of like my first day of school. I was introduced to my professor Bruno and was given a textbook and a tour of the school which took no time at all. There are a few computers, wifi throughout and several leaflets with information about Buenos Aires and things to do. The first class was good and I was given homework for the next day so it really felt like I was 14 again. I continued classes for the rest of the week in addition to my own form of studying from reading Spanish books, magazines, watching telenovelas and talking to as many Argentines as possible. One night this week me and Corrie had heard of the round the world party at a bar in Soho. Basically you are given

Amsterdam 10th December 2010

We woke up at about 8am so that we could leave at 9am to see the house of Anne Frank. We got dressed and went downstairs for our free breakfast which consisted of juice, toast or cereal. We used our map and walked to the Anne Frank House which was on Prinsengract which was about a 20-25 minute walk from our hostel, I would recommend walking as much as you can in Amsterdam as most things are nearby plus you get to see more when you walk. The Anne Frank House costs €9 or €4.50 if you are between 10-17 years, those under 10 only have to pay €0.50. You can buy tickets online and print them or buy them on the day. I would recommend purchasing your tickets in advance if you are visiting Amsterdam in the tourist season and if you are going in the afternoon or if there is a group of you. We went early in the day so there wasn't much of a queue so we didn't buy our tickets online. The House's opening times vary depending on the time of year.  Signpost The House was very in
