Being a Tourist and stuff

Travelled out of UK two days straight.

Monday was my last assignment hand in. Still wrapping my head around the whole being free thing. But I took the time to be free to finally explore a bit of UK’s sights.

Tuesday went to visit Clare and Max up in Colchester. I had that O2 free day out thing, so I redeemed it to visit Colchester Zoo. It was quite big. So much walking everywhere. But the animals were cute and I learned a thing or two. The animals shows from the other zoos I’ve been to were probably more interesting and fun, but it was still an overall good experience.

Meercats! They ran towards us when we came by. All them gathering around the wall we were standing by. Adorable, much.

Then yesterday I went to Thorpe Park with Kevin. We got there just before 2pm and had about three hours there. We got a fast pass ticket and skipped a 50 minute queue straight to the front of Stealth. This ride where you go super fast super fast. Haha. Loved the exhilaration rush.

We went on all these other awesome thrill rides too like the Samurai, Colossus, Saw, Vortex and the Nemesis Inferno. The Vortex really threw my stomach so I went really green after that. But managed to survive the Nemesis Inferno. We got to ride it twice as well because we were the last batch. Kevin said that all the rides were slower than before because they didn’t have a huge crowd to rush through. That’s disappointing, but then with the bigger crowds, the queues will be longer. So beggars can’t be choosers. But I really had fun. Especially with someone that was willing to go on all the rides with me.

On the Samurai. We managed to sneak a camera on. ;)

For dinner we stopped at Clapham Junction, had fish and chips then went to a bar for cocktails. A perfect way to end an awesome day. And I wasn’t too green anymore after getting something proper to eat.
