Diary Entry

Yesterday I visited the grand city itself, London. I was seriously excited in the morning whilst choosing my outfit (god I am so indecisive!) and when putting my makeup on. I kept thinking of all the clothes I would be buying, especially from the enormous Topshop on Oxford Street, and all the celebrities I could potentially meet (yeah I knew that would never happen!)

The train journey there was actually okay as I had my ipod, phone and magazines to keep me company; However half way through I realised that I basically no phone battery left and had to turn it off. Out of all the things I decided to charge and prepare last night, I couldn't remember to charge my bloody phone... How typical of me. My brother was trying to get hold of me for two hours so he would know where to meet me at Paddington Station. All my family were trying to get hold of me and were stressing out because they couldn't. When I turned my phone on 10 minutes before I arrived, I had about 20 missed calls and like 10 messages! Uh Oh.

Basically I had an amazing day with my brother, however I didn't buy nearly as much I thought I would. I felt bad for dragging my brother around the shops all day. We had lunch in a massive glass building which was pretty amazing; we travelled around London by the tube and I was absolutely terrified; and Oxford street was flipping incredible!

The train journey back however was an absolutely nightmare. The train I was suppose to be getting back was cancelled, so hundreds of people, including me, had to cram onto the next train. Everyone started sprinting towards the train trying desperately to get a seat or at least a standing space. I had to stand in the train doorway in the middle of a group of people so I had nothing to grip on to. I was constantly falling onto people and I think I annoyed a lot of people, but hey ho I couldn't help it.

Short Story

Yes, I know a bus journey doesn't sound very exciting, and even I think it doesn't sound appealing to me, however this was the most thrilling bus ride I have ever experienced.

Imagine being excited for 8 months solid about a holiday, being with all your best friends and thinking about drink, chaos and partys. Well.. that was what was on our minds on the way to NEWQUAY!

We couldn't all believe this time had come as we had waited so long, we could hardly contain ourselves. The music was on exceptionally loud, we were already pre-drinking, and we were shouting with excitement. Our suitcases were loaded in the boot of the bus (mine was basically man-sized which created a huge problem), and we were all planning our week in the biggest teenage party place of England.

Yes, I know a bus journey doesn't sound very exciting, but can you see why I loved this one?-

The Balloon Festival: an exciting event for everyone. Anyone of any age can enjoy this fantastic event because there is so much for people to do. The whole of Ashton Court is taken up by many marvellous stalls, rides and activites. Whether you enjoy relaxing on the sea of grass surrounding the building, or adventuring around, this festival is brilliant for anything.

Once a year, this event takes place for a few days. This year it started on the Friday which was a delightful day to open the festival as the sun was beaming which meant flocks of people came. It was open until late so people were able to appreciate the great atmosphere and acres of land.

For many years, people have enjoyed going to this enjoyable festival. However, many people who are living in Bristol still haven't been to The Balloon Fiesta: It is free entry; the rides and foods are extremely low price; it is easily accessible; and lots of transport is provided. There is no reason not to go!
