My Trip To Kefalonia


Recently I have been to Kefalonia, which is an island off Greece, with my family for two weeks. We stayed at the Astra Village Resort. This is one of the reasons that I haven't posted in quite some time, oops. 
Here are a few of the pictures that I took on this trip.

Roadtrip
For part of the holiday, 3 days, we rented a car and decided to have a kind of roadtrip around the island. The first place on the list was Sami, The Melissani Caves, and Agia Efimia. This photo was taken from the car window on the way hence the black shape at the top.

This was also taken from the car on the way to Sami.

Melissani Caves
The first place we went to was The Melissani Caves because it was the main place that I wanted to go. The Melissani caves run underground and the land above it has collapsed to form and kind of island. 


At one part the gondolier takes you through a small gap into a darker part with the mound of collapsed rock. These were the stalactites that hung from around the cave.

The water was super clear which made it look even prettier.






The water is super blue.







Agia Efimia
After the Melissani Caves we went to Agia Efimia to have a look around.





There were a lot of boats in Agia Efimia but there were a lot more yachts and boats that rent for a million a week in Sami's port.


Assos
On the third day we travelled to the top of the island and went to Assos then Fiskardo. If you like pretty villages then I would definitely recommend Assos because it was so cute and colourful.





This fort was at the top of a big hill, we only got about a quarter of the way up and then came back down.




Fiskardo
In Fiskardo I saw this fire escape decorated so cute that I just had to take a photo.



From what I saw the sea in Kefalonia is super clear almost everywhere.

Sunsets
A lot of the sunsets that I was were more red toned. One night even the moon turned red.

My London Trip



On Tuesday 31st May, me, my mum, dad and brother went to London for a holiday. I love London and I hope that one day in the future I will be able to live there. These are a few of the photos that I took whilst there, because being the tourist I am, we went on a bus tour and boat trip .

Day 1
I had never been to Fortnum & Mason before, but oh wow it is spectacular. There is so much stuff and it is so posh. I was so happy and excited that the theme was Alice In Wonderland because if you haven't already guessed, I kind of love that movie!

These are the displays on the shop windows. A lot of them were moving. For example there was a pendulum swinging in one window and stands spinning round in another.






This was the view from the stairs looking up. It is meant to be Alice falling through the rabbit hole.

Here we have my brother in his element, M&M World. I still don't know who's great idea it was to take him in there.

Day 2
Bus Tour
I took a picture of Tavistock Square because it is where the tour started.

This is the British Museum. I love the columns outside because it makes it look really cool. 

This is the British Museum from the front gate.

I thought this looked pretty cool because the shop had lots of old coins that looked interesting.

I love the buildings in London, they are all so pretty and old.

I loved the pattern in the middle of this wall.

I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this coming up down the road!

I quite want to see Les Mis and so does my mum.






My brother thought this was the Arc de Triomphe, if it was then we would have been on the bus for a lot longer than we had.


The Harvey Nichols clock looks pretty and when my mum told me about it I thought she meant she had seen a nice clock to buy there. 





I took a picture of this shop because I kept making jokes that it was a boy from school's house because he has a bit more money than others.

After being to New York, I didn't really find this impressive because I have already seen at least 10 times this in Times Square.

Boat Tour
This was before we actually got on the boat but I thought it was quite a good picture.

My brother likes to call the gherkin, the pickle.






London Eye

Houses of Parliament.


I love these modern buildings as much as the old ones. The angles of the glass and the spurts of colour made them really interesting to me.

This building reminded me of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, I had seen a house on Airbnb that had these colours and sharp angles.

Saint Paul's Cathedral.

Shakespeare's Globe


The shard looked even cooler with the fog covering the top.


I took this picture for all the Supernatural fans, including myself.

Oh you know, just a random ship on dry land.

The cheese grater and the walkie talkie.


HMS Belfast


London Bridge

Tower of London


Traitors Gate

Tower of London

Day 3
I didn't take any photos but we went to the Tower of London and saw the crown jewels. We then got the train back home.
