Home, home, aaaall the way home!

Well, as you may or may not know (you probably do know..) I'm home now! 

I guess I'll talk a little about London, because it was our last stop on our 3 month long journey.  It was fabulous. It is such a jam-packed city! So much to see and do. Good thing we were there for a week.

We started off by checking into a St. Christopher's Hostel, because the one in Bruges was so good.  So we check in and low and behold we run into the same guy we met in Rome.  Michael from New Zealand. It was really random.  Anyway, we stayed in that hostel for 3 nights then moved on to our friend's house that we met in Santorini.  She was studying English in London and her home-stay had room for us.  So we chilled with our friend in comfort at our last place in Europe.  It was grand.

We saw a lot of things.  We went on a free tour so that covered a lot of touristic bases. We also did our fair amount of walking...oy. It's so hard to write about  amazing places. It was all just so cool.  I miss it.  

Well, I had the most wonderful time of my life.  Experiences and people I will never forget shape how I feel about my trip.  I am happy to be home to see familiar faces, but I will be travelling again soon.  Too much is out there for me to just sit and home and wonder about. I want to thank everybody who read my blog, and commented on it too, it made me feel special.  I really enjoyed reading what you guys had to say. 

I can't wait to travel more and write more. 

Until the future...
Justine.

Oh my!

So I only have 7 minutes left on my internet time to sum up the most glorious Edinburgh, the stylish Glasgow! So it's not going to be very good...

In Edinburgh we stayed with a friend from school named Heidi. SHe was so awesome! She just decided she'd rather live in Scotland, so she packed up and moved there, and now has a job at starbucks. We had a grand time hanging out with her and talking and enjoying life. Excellent.

FWe were in Edinburgh from Saturday to Friday, so almost a week then we moved on to Glasgow! It was lovely..especially for shopping..great..we hostelled and couch surfed and now we are currently in London for our last week until we return to good ol' Victoria BC! I can't wait to see everyone again!

See you soon!
