"Plant a expectation; reap a disappointment"

So as a rule of thumb i hold myself and everyone else around me to a very high standard. With this said i am very often let down.
That is why when i head off on my travels starting in London on the 5th of September (anyone around?) i have decided to have no expectation from any of the places i go.
This has already served me well, when i went to Scotland (which i will blog about soon, promise) i didn't have much of a expectation of anything. Where i was staying, the people i would meet, the Military Tattoo, the cities themselves or even the Haggis tour i did (again post coming soon).
And guess what i had a AMAZING time.

So this busabout route above is where im heading i land in Amsterdam on the 18th of September and finish in Paris on the 29th of October.
But guess what im going to have fun with it, take it as it comes and go with the flow (which is hard for me).
I also have 10 days pre Europe travel aswell.
I will be taking you all along for the ride blogging in a rota along with so many AMAZING guest bloggers. I will also be meeting some bloggers along the way which will be great fun as they can show me around there city of choice.
In most places i am staying 2 full days, so i will do some kind of tour on the first day and then spend the second exploring.
I'm excited!!!!



****If you are a blogger in London, Dublin or any of the above cities on the map and would want to meet up and show me around i would be happy to. Either leave me a comment or email me at alexslifeafter20@gmail.com******

Walking around Edinburgh

Oh my god, where have i been? Who am i again!

I'm soo sorry i have been gone so long, as you all know i was in Scotland for a week and then i had mega amounts of sleep to catch up on and now I'm back at work (and its BUSY).

I decided to break up my Edinburgh photos into sections for fear i may crash your computer if i put them all on at once.

The ones below are all photos of walking around the city centre, Edinburgh is such a pretty city with really nice friendly people.

Enjoy!

Total Busabout excitment!!!


Happy Friday everyone,

As you can tell by the title of this post i am so what excited, no actually ecstatic about what i found on the bus about website this morning.

I went on to do my stop 2 Amsterdam but that now has to take a side not to what i have to tell you.

First of all the sight has changed, it looks great and i LOVE the layout. Only thing that i didn't like was before the destinations where in the order you go through them now there alphabetical. Minor i know, but on there twitter (here) they ask for feedback.


BUT with that said as looking through the website (planning dates) i almost squealed out loud because i read this:

"Get a Haggis 3 Day Skye High Tour for FREE when you book any Busabout Hop-on Hop-Off Pass of Europe in 2011. Both tours must be booked at the same time (select 'book more trips' in trip basket). Book by 1st May and Enter Promo Code 'SkyeHopper' "

OH MY GOD that is AMAZING.

So if i book the trip which i was already going to take there going to give me another totally free????

Yes please.


I will blog today about the Haggis 3 day Skye High tour.... TO EXCITED
