Hi!
Okay, I promise you that I'm back this time! I've worked out a strategy for making posts and what posts I'll make so I'll hopefully be back in track day by day!
Anyway, as this title suggests, I'm going to give a brief summary of where I am right now and what's been happening!
So, I'm not in Bristol. I'm in Zurich (Switzerland) and it's been truly amazing so far! The buildings are so beautiful and the lakes and rivers sparkle in the sun. It's very warm here, but when it rains, IT RAINS!
I've been here since Sunday afternoon, when I went for a swim in the river which was a unique experience because it gently carries you all the way down with the current which is so pretty fun, if a little nerve wracking.
On Monday, I wandered around town and had a look at all the different, lovely buildings and I also had a dip in the lake. It was great fun jumping off the pier into the water! We were supposed to go on the pedalos but it began to rain. It was really pounding down! Like, properly!
Yesterday was a super crazy day. We went hiking in the mountains (700m!) and it was breathtakingly beautiful. We were surrounded by other mountains and there was a vast sprinkling of snow on top of one of them. I was excited to get a cable car down but it turned out that it was broken! So we had to hike all the way down through the pouring rain and we only just made the bus. We met a nice American guy called Steve on the train who asked us loads of questions about our politics in England. Then we went to the food festival to found out that it was closed! We ended up just going to a pizza place.
Today we are planning on cycling to the lake and going on a pedalo. We'll also have a barbeque by the river if the weather's nice, obviously featuring some swims!
So there we go. I'm really sorry that I haven't kept up this blog recently, but I'm going to try much harder because I do enjoy writing on it and it's nice to know that people can read this. Maybe it'll one day be famous! Who knows?
