Destination Love: Egypt

I would love to go to Egypt mainly for the ancient history; I absolutely loved learning about the Egyptians in primary school! The one thing that puts me off: the heat. I don't think I'll be able to bear it :( Anyway, I think it's amazing how some of these 'ancient wonders' have lasted so many centuries:

The Pyraminds of Giza

The Sphinx

Cairo

Egyptian Museum in Cairo

Abu Simbel

Luxor Temple

Taking a felucca on the Nile

A Camel Ride

Temples of Karnak

Valley of the Kings

Destination Love: Greece

I have actually been to Greece before: Corfu and Halkidiki, which were two of my favourite holidays. However, I would love to visit the more 'ancient' parts of Greece. Taking Classics at A-Level has helped expand (is that the right word? :/ ) my love of Greek mythology. Recently, Greece hasn't been a top place for people to go - the fighting in the capital Athens and of course their financial problems at the moment but too be quite honest this hasn't put me off. I'm hoping that my sixth form will still do it's trip to Greece next year (for Classics) Let's hope so! I find the Greeks so friendly, I love how most of the buildings are whitewashed and I think the Agean Sea is beautiful. So these are some of the places I would love to visit:

The Acropolis and the Parthenon, Athens

Athens

The National Archaeological Museum, Athens

Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounion

Delphi

Olympia

Temple of Apollo, Delphi

 Crete

Temple of Athena Nike, Athens

And on a slightly different side, I would love to go to Malia in Crete and/or Zante!

Destination Love: Australasia

Australia and New Zealand are probably one of the most popular places to visit. Taking a trip down under means spending a day on an aeroplane just to get there. The weather seems gorgeous and I love the accent! And, you're more likely to see boys with hardly no clothes on haha :)  My parents would love to visit Australia and so would I but if I was travelling this far, I would definitely travel to New Zealand too. It seems that visiting this continent is a must-see to do! Not forgetting koala bears and kangaroos! The views are simply incredible!

 In Australia:

Sydney Harbour

The Red Centre - Ayers Rock, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon

Great Barrier Reef

Melbourne

Kangaroo Island

Broome

Tasmania

Great Ocean Road

In New Zealand:

Auckland

Christchurch

Mount Cook

Wellington

Tan!

I've had a great holiday away. During the time I've been away, I've been staying at my mam's friends house in Devon and been camping in Cornwall. The weather down south was lush! It was sooo hot and I've got myself a nice little tan - especially on my lower arm = result :) Devon and Cornwall are beautiful places and here are some lovely photos to share with you all. We stayed in St. Ives in Cornwall while camping but also visited the surrounding areas - Hayle, Lands End and when in Devon we stayed in Sidmouth but went to Tipton and Perranporth along other little stops. We also walked along the Pebblebed Heaths in Devon - seriously such a lovely place!

Destination Love: Latin America

In my opinion South America is soooo much different from North America. Everything seems so hot, bright and colourful. This is one continent I probably don't know much about but it seems so interesting and looks like it's bursting with culture! I would love to do some sort of tour around the hot spots in Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Rio in Brazil. It's the home of the tango and I wouldn't mind dancing with an Argentinan whilst being there along with visiting Buenos Aires and Incas at Machu Picchu in Peru. Here are some of the sites I would love to see sometime in my life. So much to offer and surely will appeal to everyone. I think the glaciers in Argentina look amazing!

Beunos Aires, Argentina

Iguacu Falls, Brazil

Statue of Christ The Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro

Sugarloaf Mountain, Rio

Ouro Preto, Brazil

Torres Del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile

Perito Moreno Glacier, El Calafate, Argentina

Valley of the Moon, Chile

Machu Picchu, Peru

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Costa Rica

Cancun, Mexico
