1 week down 51 to go!

So the first week in the most United of Kingdoms is complete, and well hasn’t it been a busy week!

Day 1: Landed at Heathrow at 450am! And made our way to The Clink Hostel in Kings Cross, London which was conveniently about 1km from Kings Cross Station and we then headed out to do the stereotypical tourist stuff, Green Park, Buckingham (where I met up with Tori!!), Big Ben, London Eye and so on J 

Day 2: After a horrible night’s sleep we went down for breaky which is still the most horrible meal I’ve had L and then we were given a talk about child protection. We then hopped onto the Underground and headed out to Regent Street and Oxford Street. I think I single handily boosted the British economy in just a few shops! That night we headed out to an Aussie Pub called the Walkabout, which was a lot of fun, it was a really nice way to spend our last night together as a group. 

Day 3: Off to School!  Annabel and I got to Copthorne Prep School mid afternoon and spent and hour setting up our rooms, believe it or not but my room here is bigger than me room at home! My room consists of, a bed, an amazingly comfy chair, desk, two sets of draws cupboard and TV!!!!

We then headed over to the Jones’ house for dinner and met their two daughters Luce and Jodie J they are all such a nice family! My new room:

Day 4: We had a tour of the school then into town we went and we were shown the sights and the best shops and then taken to TESCO!!! Haha best shop ever!  And our first trip to our local pub, The Hedgehog!

Day 5: After a stroll around the Crawley shopping centre went had lunch with the Jones’ again and then waited for the arrival of the third gapper Cullen from South Africa! He is such a lovely guy fits in so well with Annabel and I! Second night at the Hedgehog!

Day 6: Up bright and early for a day of odd jobs around the school as gap students do and then off to the hedgehog with a bunch of teachers which was great fun! I found a cyclist! So thanks mum and dad for sending over my riding gear!

Day 7: Another early morning but for a day trip to Brighton for a stroll around the Lanes, The Brighton Pier and Fish n’ Chips on the beach, or what the English think beaches are!!!  

Day 8: Today was a very quiet day filled with movies the OC, Nachos and great Gapper bonding time J now tomorrow is my first day of work so I should probably head off to bed!

Night all,
