Adventures In Wales

Hiii,

It‘s been a while again, I know but I‘ve been busy with school work and stuff and we‘ve just come back from our holiday in Wales. 

It was super fun and I did some things that I never expected to be doing. 

The first thing my Brother 'convinced' me to do is to walk up Snowden. 

Snowden is a mountain which is the highest point in Wales with 1.085m. It‘s located in the Snowdonia National Park. 

It took us about 7-8 hours to walk up and down. We walked about 9 miles. 

The views are absolutely breathtaking. It‘s a crazy feeling being above the clouds. That‘s the closet you‘ll be to heaven while living on earth. 

I‘m not going to lie, it was challenging and very steep at times but my brother looked out for me the whole way and we had breaks, which I demanded. Haha just kidding! :D

The next thing I wasn't expecting was a 5 hour tour in a old Mine.

It was crazy in there. We only had our headlights, so if we turn them off it would be pitch black. Kind of creepy but super exciting. We abseiled and climbed in the mine. I‘ll remind you it was dark and I couldn't see the ground and how far I had to climb down. 

We also zip lined and had a boat ride. It felt so weird being in the dark for 5 hours. 

It was definitely a once in a life time opportunity.

And of course there had to be one more crazy fun thing I did. White Water Rafting. It was freezing cold but the most fun I had this entire trip. Not much to say really, other than I had to hold on very very tight and I got absolutely soaking wet. 

I guess I enjoy challenging myself with new things :) 

Anyway, the last week has been great. Back to school on Monday. 

Have a wonderful week and you might have done or want to do some things that I did the past week. 

Byeeee xx

Sun Rise Fun

Hey, 

I know it's been a while but I've waited for good things worth blogging about. 

My day started at 4am on the 3rd of August. My brother, I and 3 other girls wanted to watch the sun rise. We went to a place called 'Golden beach' on our bikes which took about 30 minutes. It was pitch black at this point. We started our climb up a mountain which has a castle on the top. The view from up there is magnificent so we couldn't even imagine what the sun set would be like. 

It took us about 1.20 hours to get up there as it was steep, dark and there's not a real path you can follow. 

Once we got up there we still had about 40 minutes before the sun started rising so we all had breakfast.

Once the sun started rising I was absolutely stunned. It was one of the most beautiful moments.

Once the sun was out we decided to make our way back down before it got too hot. 

About half way down there's a cave called 'Nestors cave'. It's also beautiful. 

We ended our trip very tired but happy. 

I can't explain what it felt like being up there on our own, no people, no noise. Just the crickets summing in our ears. 

One of the 10 things you have to do is watch the the sun rise from high up and while being sober haha ^.^ 

I wanted to share this moment with everyone.

Byeeeee

Road Trip Dream

What up peeps,

Let me tell you about a dream of mine.

I would love to go on a road trip one day. 

Not any road trip, I want to make my own. Buy a car, fold the back seats down and put a mattress in the back

My best friend and I have this big plan.

My dream Road trip would start in Alaska. I would stop in some cities that are on the way to Vancouver. Then I would spend a couple of days in Vancouver. 

From Vancouver I would just turn my navigation system off and see where I end up. 

I do want to stop in Idaho, California, New York and Texas. 

After I‘ve seen all the different states in North America my trip to Argentina will start. 

I‘ll drive through all the beautiful countries in south America.

We will spend nights camping out under the stars.

We will make memories!

My favourite book is called ‘Amy & Rodger‘s Epic detour' Its based on a real Road trip that starts in California and ends in Connecticut. Its a beautiful story.

Have you got any road trip dreams? 

Lifes not meant to be lived in one place.

The Great Wall Of China

Helloooo,

Today I will share my experience on the great wall of china.

About 10 days ago I visited the Great Wall. 

It was beautiful, the journey there i slept because of jet lag which I am super annoyed about.

Once we got there our teacher aloud us to go in small groups.

I went with my two friends which was awesome because we laughed a lot.

It wasn't the warmest day which I was happy about, because we walked up to the 8th tower. 

While we walked up lots of chines wanted to take pictures with us. 

I think it was because we looked european or something. 

I had a great time. 

I feel so lucky for this opportunity to see China.

What teenage girl can say, that she has seen so many different countries and continents.

Beijing is just one city I will explore in my life. 

I was scared going on the trip and staying in a chines family, but it was totally worth it.

I am grateful for all the things my parents make possible. 

I think I will leave this post here, because I can't explain how great the wall is. I think everyone needs to see it for themselves before they can imagine how big it actually is.

China |Day 3

Whaasss uppp, 

I want to start this blogpost by saying what I'm writing here is my opinion on Beijing and you might have a completely different opinion and that's great. The world would be boring if we all had the same opinion. 

Today was ankther exciting day.

We visited the Temple of Heaven which is beautiful. And I wrote my name in Chinese. The air here is very different though. It's very dry and my lips are turning dry. 

For lunch we had a Chinese burger which was...interesting. We also learnt some things about the forbidden city, which we're visiting tomorrow. 

After we got home, we went out for dinner. We went to this little restaurant which was different but nice. The chairs were nearly to the ground and it was very Chinese haha. 

I will end the blogpost here because I could go on and on for hours but I'm very tired and jet lagged. 

Have a wonderful week! 

Amieeeee

China |Day 2

15.03.2015 

Hello Guys,

My day basically starts on the airplane. 

We just ate breakfast. We had egg with Potatoe bites. 

Once we finally arrived in China a bid picked us up and took us to the first school where the family's of younger children waited to pick the younger half of our group up.

By this time I've been awake for 24 hours and I was so tired. 

Then the bus took forever to take us to the Gymnasium 177. We were welcomed very nicely and then went home with the families. 

My family is very nice. For dinner we had rice with soup. I didn't eat a lot might be because it took forever because they only had chopsticks and I don't know how to use them. 

I was so tired so I just went to bed early. 

I wanted to talk to my friends for a while put at 7pm I fell asleep, which was a big mistake. At 12pm I was awake again and couldn't sleep. Then I finally fell asleep but woke up at 4am again. 

Now I am very tired. It's 2am in the morning at home and the jet lag is kicking in. 

My first day was exciting and sleepy! 

Byeeeee 

China Day 1

Hey you, 

Yep, I've decided to so daily updates about my trip to china. It's kind of like a Vlog but a Blog. Yeah, Amie that makes so much sense...

Anyway today was the big day! 

I got up at 9:00am and showered, packed the last things and had lunch. 

At 2:00pm we all met up in Hamburg Airport. Our plane to Munich was late so we waited a long time. The flight to Munich was so relaxed. I had no pain in my ear. We also got a drink and some crackers on board. Very pleased with that Lufthansa. 

In Munich we had to rush to our connecting flight to Bejing. Once we got there we found out our plane was 1.30 hours late... Greaatttt... 

Once we got on the plane I was super happy because I was already tired and it was only 9:00pm.

We got a little snack and drink. 

About one hour after, dinner was surved. I had chicken breast with rice. 

It wasn't that bad. I also watched Paddington Bear because it's a super cute movie and who doesn't like london? Haha 

I'm still on the plane now, but my first day is technically over because it 03:00am.

I tired sleeping for a while. 

Now we're about to have breakfast surved. 

Yes, it was an exciting first day! 

I'll be super jet lagged tomorrow because china is 7 hours ahead. 

Byeee everyone talk to you tomorrow, we'll technically today! 

Amie
