When in Rome

I had the most amazing week in Rome & managed to tick off everything on my bucket list apart from The Trevi Fountain, which I did visit but unfortunately it was under restoration and covered in scaffolding so I wasn't able to take any photographs of it or make a wish there.

I guess it just means that I'll have to be going back.... :-)

Here are my personal favourites & you can find the rest on my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.369719349874146.1073741856.232222153623867&type=1

NYC To Do List..

Last week I paid my deposit to go to New York with my college in February and I am honestly soo soo excited!! It's gonna be amazing, so I'm writing my blog post this week on my top to do's while I am there, there will be loads more things that I want to do but I'm just going to narrow my list down for the purpose of this blog post.

By the way these are not in any sort of order! Just an order of what I could think of first in my head :)

10. Staten Island Ferry

9. Statue of Liberty

8. Empire State Building 

7. Rockerfella Centre

6. Central Park

5. Brooklyn Bridge

4. Maceys

3. Times Square

There is the main list of the things I'd like to do in New York City, after I start researching and reading travel blogs I will add things to the list and probably have about 50 things to do on it! Think I'm going to need to stay there for 5 weeks not just 5 days! If anyone has any ideas of things to do while I'm over there I'd love to know :) 

Travelling around Tunisia

In August this year I had the most incredible experience of travelling to Tunisia with my family and I was so amazed at the beauty of the country that I wanted to share my photographs with my blog readers.

Camel Ride, Douz

I love to travel so when my family decided on Tunisia as a destination for our summer holiday, I was so excited to go somewhere that I hadn't experienced before. We stayed in Sousse and travelled to many places over the course of the two weeks.

My favourite thing that we did during the holiday was a Camel Ride over the Sahara Desert during the late afternoon. It was so peaceful being in the middle of the desert, not being able to see anyone or anything.

My Mum, Brother & Step-dad.

It was a great experience being on the camels and definitely a lot more comfortable than I imagined!

Sunrise over the Salt Lakes

The next part of our adventure was to visit the Medina in Sousse. This is a market full of different foods, spices, lanterns and carpets which you can buy and barter for with the locals. It was so interesting to see the different culture and all the gifts and foods that they had to offer.

Medina, Sousse. 

Inside the medina.

Inside the Medina, it was very busy and closely packed together, there were so many things to look at. 

Oasis.

This is an Oasis in the middle of the desert where the locals take care of the palm trees and grow dates from them. They showed us how they climbed the palm trees with their bare feet! 

Canyon in the desert.

This is a large canyon by the Salt Lakes in the Sahara desert and is where some of the scenes in the Star Wars movies were filmed. This was taken at about 8:30am and it was already soo hot!

Sunrise on the last day

It was a brilliant two week holiday over all, and I throughly enjoyed it. I saw so many new things and tried new things out too. This photograph was taken just before getting on the coach transfer to the airport on the day we left. It feels like ages ago now but looking back through my photographs, it just shows how beautiful the country really is and I would recommend it to everyone to go and explore there with their camera!
