guess who popped by after a trip from hell? emmelie!!!!!!!!!

so i’ve spent the evening drinking wine and chatting with my sister whom i haven’t seen in what feels like ages. i know she would’ve rather gone straight to bolivia, i rather liked having her here so a 12 hour visit is better than nothing, and even though she’s got a long way to go on her own im happy. how terrible am i?

After a bit of sleep on the plane as well, Simon 21 year old birthday boy and i ended up in Dublin, Ireland.

It was well early and EVERYTHING was closed. good planning on my part? no.

so we wandered around the empty streets. finally settled for breakfast at a little shop, what a disappointment!

then we got a tour bus, figured it was less walking, could go to the Guinness factory, and learn a bit about the city!

the driver told us how he cured his depression, “i watch my wedding video… on rewind, my favourite part is when she gives me the ring back, gets in the car and fucks off.”

finally checked in at the hotel around 3. took a well needed nap. then got ready for dinner!

ate at a little thai restaurant, food was good but it’s no monkey & me

then we went to cafe en seine, of course, for a couple! simon was so tired we were home around 1. not the night i had planned for, but it was good to get some sleep.

sunday we wandered around. bought a glass from hard rock for my mamma, looked in the shops. walked to where dad and i used to live. stopped by a christmas market, and last but not least drank in Temple Bar.

had a horrible indian meal for dinner and jetted off to the airport and were back in my flat in london by 1130.

simon and i are leaving very earlier tomorrow morning from heathrow. going to dublin, ireland. i am so excited.

won’t be any updates over the weekend!

leaving from baker street as soon as my dad has gotten to the baggage claim. then tube to paddington, and meeting my dad from the heathrow express! it’s so nice being closer to the airport now, wasn’t too great sitting on the tube for an hour and a half before :/

just went to the airport to get ito! took fucking ages getting back and forth from heathrow. but it’s okay think we’re gunna get simon and then go for a pub lunch somewhere..

got up early this morning. got ready. took my book along and mentally prepared for the hour on the tube towards heathrow. get to baron’s court (nearly there), and i get a text from ito.

the thing is the underground here is RETARDED cause there’s no cellphone service on them.

apparently he got the date wrong. yep. so get off the tube. get on the tube.

two hours later, i was back where i started! so tomorrow i get to do the same thing all over again.. let’s hope he’s actually coming this time

waiting around for dinner, and then leaving in an hour!!

simon’s in a mood so he’s being a great host and watching the pacific on his laptop, no surprise there to be honest. soon as there’s guns or war he’s on it.

i’m ridiculously bored so time couldn’t be going slower, hehe. london tonight should be nice. sleep in my “own” bed, which won’t be mine for much longer

then get up early tomorrow morning and meet ito at the airport, YAAAAY! my best friend in london, dangerous!

sat in the airport waiting.

whoever made the two hours before your flight rule clearly never travels. it’s really a waste of time and just drags out the whole journey even more.

oh well one more hour. then the flight’s like 3 hours i think? so excited to just get there!!

packed and ready to go. just gunna wait for a bit wake simon up, get the last of my things from his. then i’m off to the airport.

takes an hour n a half to get there, and i’ve got to be there two hours before so if i leave around 1030 ill be good!

i don’t know if it’s because i’m nervous or just ridiculously hungry but i feel nauseous as hell! can’t seem to eat anything so i’ve been drinking cold soup. will have to get something to eat at the airport.

will try to sleep on the flight and then be in sweden! daddy’s picking me up so thats quite nice, no tubes or public transport when i land. always nice to get to be in a car, haha.

anyways, i’m going to tidy up my room a bit and then say goodbye to london!

i’m going home. have to have my things packed and ready to be at the airport on thursday next week. going back to see family and friends. take some time off from being responsible and an adult. get my shit back together. and then be ready to find a flat and start over in september. it’s a relief in a way, yet kind of disappointed in myself but whatever.
