Day 1 Completed

Exhausted after a long day of visiting the Four Iconic Attractions: Madame Tussauds, The London Eye, London SeaLife Aquarium & London Dungeon. I would highly recommend Madame Tussauds & the London Eye for those who have never experienced these attractions before. The wax figures of Madame Tussauds were mostly realistic but they also had interactive areas which I enjoyed such as a Haunted House & a 4D Movie Experience. The Eye provided an amazing 360 degree view of London from 135 meters (443 ft) high. Each capsule was fitted with 4 tablets which helped to identify major icons of London. Having been to the SeaLife Aquarium in Melbourne Australia and the Antarctic Centre in Christchurch New Zealand London's Aquarium could not compare. I was disappointed by the size, limited variety of SeaLife as well as the amount of closed exhibits. The highlight of my day however was a group of acrobatic street performers from Ghana that I came across as I wandered along South Bank. I watched them perform twice as they were so entertaining (video link below).

Goodbye Australia

After 6 months of planning, organising and  lots of stressing I am finally packed and ready to embrace my new adventure! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone however I am excited to take on this amazing opportunity. I hope you all enjoy following me on my journey as I try to scratch beneath the surface of what you can read in a guide book, and shine a light on the people, the food, the experiences, and the cultures that come together to make Europe so unique. 

My goal is to update roughly once a week, but that will depend on where I am and the availability of internet connections. 

Until then Goodbye Australia, and Hello London.
