Ciao!
Well I am sorry I have been absent on ye old bloggersphere for so long things have been busy for me. I broke up from uni 2 weeks ago (how time flies...eek) and had a few days before I headed off to Madrid to see my best friend who is on her PRA! It was so lovely to see her and spend 6 whole days together after 3 and a half months of separation. I had a lovely time being shown around the very centre of Madrid, which is called Sol. However, I ate far TOO much food and my jeans actually broke whilst on holiday! Now I don't think, or maybe don't want to believe that I ate that much that I broke my jeans as they are fairly old and it was only the zip that broke so I'm going to stick by the story that they were always going to break...it had nothing to do with all the tapas or calamari. Definitely not.
Amazing hot chocolate which is so thick you need
a spoon and glass of water...you dip the churros in it.
This is a plate of tapas, we shared clearly.
The sauce on the potato is so yummy!
It was a pretty relaxed 6 days full of lie ins, food, alcohol, laughing and shopping! Half way through the week Hayley decided we were going to row a boat. At first I was sceptical but it turned out to be my highlight of the holiday, it took us a good 10 minutes to even get out of the jetty bit and everyone was laughing at us. Must have been hilarious to watch, I know it was hilarious to experience. My other highlight is my amazing birthday present, Hayley really does know me too well. She spoilt me rotten, she bought me a Pandora bracelet with 2 charms; the first is a red glass charm with little daisies on it and the other an Eiffel tower. It's so pretty and I love it to pieces, a real 21st keepsake :) it couldn't have been more me if it tried, red is my favourite colour, my name is Daisy and I am a complete francophile! Parfait!
It's pretty cool as a language student to be in a country where you have no knowledge of the language, it's amazing how much you can understand and how quickly you can pick things up. Being there got me all excited for my own year abroad which is getting ever closer...I leave on 26th June (ARGH). I'm lucky to have found a job with Hayley for 2 months in the south of France and I am so excited for it but equally just as scared. I'm planning on taking my blog with me as I do my year abroad...I can now confirm I will be going to Gascony, Lyon and then Lecce in Italy to finish off with a 2 month gap between France and Italy so I can complete a qualification which means I can teach English as a foreign language all over the world. Very handy.
This was taken on the 9th floor of a shopping
centre which is where we ate the first night.
Hayley sent me a picture of her with this sign on my
21st birthday so we had to take a photo on the day I went to Madrid!
More photos to come when Hayley uploads them :)
On that note I shall love and leave you...
Ciao for now...
