Spring Break!

Hey Guys! 

I know it has been a mighty long time since I have posted anything on my blog but I have been really busy living the life of a gapper and all! 

Life has been pretty boring up until my 18th, on March 25th. I was showered with gifts from parents at school and workmates :) My birthday celebrations started the night of the 24th when we ordered pizza and went down to Brighton for midnight when I was officially 18 and could experience my first ever night out clubbing! That was such a fun night everyone from Copthorne Prep that came with me made my night amazing! 

A week later and I was on holidays, for 3.5 weeks! WOOO! That Friday night I was kidnapped by one of the mums at school, Clare, who has become my mum over here and I have become another daughter to her! I babysat for here and the following morning she dropped me off at Gatwick airport to meet Tori. I waited and waited and Tori didn't show up....turns out she had made it to the wrong terminal! What a silly girl!! Finally we got through check in and we were on our way to Abereen, Scotland! Sian and Lloyd met us at the airport and took us back to their amazing house! I did feel it had been 2.5 years since we had seen each other! Martin and Lloyd took Tori and I up a Munro! 7 hours hiking in the Scottish Highlands. Man oh man I was sore the next day! Tori and I went to Edinburgh for day days and saw all the sights, visited the castle and stayed in the Bank Hotel which was just the most amazing hotel to stay in, we had a lovely dinner out on our first day and then met up with two of my longest friends from back in Canberra, Kate and Bec, who happened to be there the same time we were!! The rest of my time in Scotland was amazing filled with, ice-cream, hot chocolates, snow, rain, castles beaches, walks with the dog, watching a lot a football!! and of course amazing company for the 10 days including Easter! 

I got back to school three loads of washing down and bag backed again and off I went to Corfu, Greece! I have now been in Greece for 7 days and I leave tomorrow. I came over here with a fellow Letz Live Gapper, Melissa but she left on Sunday. We have taken in some unbelievable sights, the second prettiest place I've been in the world! Nothing will beat my Rosedale! I have met the most amazing people at this hostel, made so many friends and I will struggle to forget this place, the Pink Palace is amazing, best backpackers I have  stayed at yet! Second day we were here Mel and I went on a Quad Bike Safari around the island, driving for 6 hours and taking in the most amazing views and prettiest beaches! On Saturday night we went into Corfu town to Celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter, filled with fireworks dancers and traditional Greek music! Was a truly amazing experience. Sunday night we had a toga party at the Pink Palace's very own night club! Filled with pink toga's ouzo(!!!) and plate smashing!! Trust me to be the one that got picked out for the crowd of 100+ people to have the first plate smashed on my head. I was dragged in to the middle of the circle given 7 ouzo shots (most revolting Greek drink ever!!!) and then had a stack, at least 15 plates high, smashed onto my head at once! oh my golly that hurt so much! But how often is that opportunity going to arise? Not often so it was fun! 

The last two days have been great relaxing days with walks through the local village and along the beach reading the Hunger Games! Already up to book two of the series! I leave bright and early tomorrow morning and I'll post photos when I am home :)

Ill write again soon!!!
