London Calling

Me and Big Ben..

And so here I was in London, my last stop before returning to Canada after four months of adventures in Europe. The weather was as expected, but I think the rain and grey sky added to the charm of the city lol. I met a guy named Michael in Berlin who lives in London so he gave me a grand tour of all the major sites of the city- Globe Theater, London Bridge, London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster, Buckingham palace, Piccadilly Circus... I went to the British Museum to see the marbles of the Parthenon that Lord Elgin stole from the Greeks, it was nice to come full circle and see the missing pieces after having visited Athens in November. My last few days in Europe were very bittersweet, I was excited to go home for Christmas but really sad to leave Europe and this crazy adventure behind. I'm really glad I always pushed through and made the best of every situation :)

Love,

Viennnaa

Vienna was beautiful!
My Canadian friend Nicole who I met in Rome was studying in Vienna for a semester so I got to see her again :) The first day I was there was great! We went to the Freud Museum, then we had the famous Sachertorte chocolate cake, and finally that night we went to the Opera to see Mozart's Enchanted Flute.
It was exam period for Nicole so it was nice that Jason (the Aussie guy from Berlin) came to Vienna too. We visited the palace, went to christmas markets, ate a lot of food, and just overall enjoyed the city.
I'm really glad I made this stop and Im really grateful Nicole was such a good host!
