So Mermy has demanded that I update this so I thought I might as well (she also said please so I figured it would be rude not to) , though I have a strong suspicion that she is the only one who reads it.. which is fine by me!
So I went to Marrakech with the fam for 10 days. To say it was hot would be an understatement. It was so hot (42 degrees) that I genuinely thought I might melt. We moved into our house which was pretty cool, and one section of the pool was filled after a couple of days so Sibling and I spent a lot of time in there in the afternoon cooling off! Morocco is a really cool place, its completely different culturewise though. Like there, if you are out with a group of guys you have to tell them you want a drink and they'll order it for you. Its insulting to them if you order it yourself. Why, I don't know but it sure beats the hassle of trekking to the bar. Here its more likely if I turned around to a guy at our table and told them I wanted a drink they'd say 'thats nice, while you're up there will you get me a pint?' Not that they're lazy, just that, well, if I want a drink I can get it myself. And fair enough, I have two legs after all!
Apart from Morocco nothing else of note has really happened. In five days though, myself, Ashy, Emma and Maria are heading off interrailing! I can't wait, its just under a month of travelling around Europe. It's going to be such an adventure. Maeve and Rachel aren't coming which sucks, but they have formed a July posse with Paddy so I think they will be having fun in Ireland anyway. We're flying to Prague on Sunday, then we are going to Austria, Germany, Italy, somewhere random for 3 days (we haven't decided where yet, I think Rome was a possibility last time I checked...) Slovenia and Croatia. We're getting an apartment in Croatia for about a week, then we're flying home. I'm at home for exactly one night before heading off to Mayo for my cousin's wedding.
I am so unbelieveably excited about Interrailing. Not only is it a month away with 3 of my closest friends, but we get to choose and organise whatever we want to do. By we, I mean the others do because my organisational skills are zilch. I am in charge of not getting lost, which says it all...Not to mention that my mom came back from shopping today and announced she had a present for me for interrailing... It was a travel first aid kit. I kid you not. The sad thing is, I will most likely need it at some point during the trip...
Last Sat, Ashy and Maria convinced me for a good 20 mins that I had booked my flights for the wrong day and would be spending a night in Prague alone. They can be so evil sometimes! I was so worried when they told me that, especially because with my luck I'd somehow get on the wrong plane and end up in china or something....
I love travelling, and I'll be seeing so many new cities, I really can't wait! We're going to get rucksacks tomorrow, then I'll start packing. One downside of Interrailing, the whole minimising thing because I am a terrible overpacker. I think the fact that what I pack I'll be carrying on my back for weeks will help though! Basically July is going to be an incredible month, I'll even be turning 19 in Dubrovnik which should be fun! Then its home and resuming the job search, which I will definitly need because I will be BROKE after this trip... but right now I'm not thinking that, I am concentrating on me+3 of my friends+ a rucksack+ an interrail ticket+ at least 7 different cities...
Its going to be epic.
