My GAP Year at RMS: Ireland and a few other things

Three months into my GAP year.

Out to dinner with the Girls- Annie, Jo, Rachel, Cami and I.

Nick and I in Ireland

Ireland
I have just recently done a trip to Ireland with a company called Paddy Wagon. We had lots of fun. We had a bus of 52 people including mostly all GAPs from Aus, NZ and South Africa and then 4 slightly older people on the trip. We saw Ireland in 6 days, so we stayed in Dingle, Killarney, Galway, Belfast and Londonderry. We saw the the giant causeway, Blarney Castle, Mohar Cliffs Belfast and Londonderry history and the still so very present conflict in North Ireland.

The Girls in Ireland at the Giant Causeway- Eliza, Chloe, Jess, myself, Tori and Charlie: Very cool and fun people!

We went to Irish pubs at night and stayed up late having fun and partying. I made lots of new friends and reunited with old friends. There were so many beautiful sights and there are plenty of pictures on my facebook.

York and London with Crystal and Amy

The friendly policeman who we had a photo with at Buckingham Palace.

After that two weekend later Amy and Crystal came to visit me in London. They stayed in my flat with me and we saw a bit of London for a few days then went up to York to visit Amy's school QE and to see York. In London we saw Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the guards, then we went to Piccadilly circus and Lester Square. Then i left the girls to go back to work and they spent the evening in London.

A giant teddy in York!!! Very cuddly. :)

When we were in York we saw the York Minster, the high street and went to an English Pub and had Yorkshire Pudding, very nice. York is such a beautiful and historic town, i loved it. It was also great to catch up with Crustal and Amy and spend time with people i know. It was also great to see Kirstie and Issy at their School in York where Amy is. There school is huge, much bigger than mine but great to see another school and how they do things.

Coming up this weekend is Exeat so we have the weekend off and two GAP friends from Dover- (Down South of London) are coming to stay and we are going out together in London. The Kirstie is coming to stay next weekend which i am looking forward to. I have also started attending a cell group from the Church Soul Survivor which was really great. The small group is aimed for people in the GAP years which is perfect and its great to meet other Christians. Then i have April Holidays coming up where i am going to Rome with Blayne and Cami then i am going to Spain with Megan a new friend of mine, then i am coming back to London to catch up with my Cousin Rob and Amiee then off to Norway to visit Caroline for Easter. So im very excited about whats to come.
