traveling with Pam was wonderful. it was so great to see her and travel with her.
we started in Edinburgh, for four days of wandering and fun.

Hello all, for one last time!
well, two last times, because I'll split this one up a bit.

my final round of travels started in the middle of June: Barcelona and Scotland, finishing with Edinburgh, Galway, and London with my aunt Pam. this post will be about Barcelona and Scotland. the next one will be about Pam.
again, I'm just going to post some pictures and give vague outlines.

first: Barcelona. hot, sunny, and beautiful.

Parc Guell

from Barcelona I headed up to Northern England for a few days, before continuing up to Scotland.

York

Berwick-Upon-Tweed

my first real stop in Scotland was Inverness. the town is cute, and the Loch Ness is gorgeous.

Hello.
I know it's been a while.
the last couple weeks of April and the first couple weeks of May were spent studying and writing essays for school. my one and only sitting exam was on May 20, and on the 21st I headed to Vienna. I spent a few days wandering around sunny Vienna, seeing the sights and taking a lot of pictures. I'll just post a whole lot of those, and use fewer words.

After Copenhagen I took an overnight ferry to Oslo. I spent three days in Oslo, then took a train over to Voss (near Bergen), then onto Bergen, where after a few days I flew back to Swansea.

I've spent the last couple of days packing my things up. Near the end of this week I head to Barcelona, and then I'll head up to Scotland for a couple weeks. My aunt is coming out to visit right before my flight home, and I'm pretty excited about that. I'll probably save everything for one last update, but I may split it into two.
