How's it hanging??
So if you've been following my blog you'll know I went on holiday in July and wanted everyone to know what I got up to but because I went for 2 weeks and did quite a lot I didn't want to cram it all on one post so 2 posts ago I did a post called My Holiday...part 1 which was basically the first week of my holiday and this is a continuation of my holiday. Enjoy! :)
Saturday 25th July 2015 (Istanbul, Turkey)
Today we were going to go off and do our own thing but I didn't feel that up to it. The weather was soooo hot (not that I should be complaining haha) and I didn't feel up to it so whilst my family went off shopping I stayed on the boat. I walked around the boat for a bit, read some fashion books and played card games by myself...wow. That night was informal night so I wore a midi red dress and some brown sandals but before we ate we went to the pub that's on the boat where we did a pub quiz and I had Disaronno and coke <3
I had a sweet potato and cauliflower pasty, salad, pork with cheesy potatoes and veg and then lemon meringue pie.
Sunday 26th July 2015 (Istanbul, Turkey)
Today we woke up extra early because we went on an excursion so we could go see the Saint Sofia, the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge. When we'd crossed the bridge we then got dropped off for 3 hours to go and visit the Spice Market and when we'd done we decided to wait under a tree and I got shit on...by a bird. Some say it's good luck :/ fingers crossed haha.
Tonight was informal night so I wore a black and white play suit and some white heels but I can't remember what I ate for my dinner but it was probably chicken haha.
Monday 27th July 2015 (Sea Day)
Because we couldn't go off board because it was a sea day, I decided to go and do some more laps so I fast walked 3 miles and then we went to go and watch the Imitation Game with Benedict Cumerbatch( or Cumberland Sausage as I call him haha) and honestly it was probably the best film I'd seen all year!
Tonight was formal night and picture night so I decided to recycle my old prom dress (short black) with white heels and red lips :) I had a chicken salad, the leek and broccoli flan and then ice cream for dessert.
Tuesday 28th July 2015 (Marmaris, Turkey)
Today we walked around doing some shopping, I bought Turkish eye necklace, and we had a drink at a cute little cafe and as always there was lots and lots of sleepy cats <3
When we got back on the boat we decided to watch The Theory of Everything and although I didn't think I'd understand it, but it was absolutely fascinating, Eddie Redmayne did an amazing job and as soon as the film had finished I went to the library and wanted to learn a bit more so I started to read The Origin of Everything :'D
Tonight was informal so I decided to wear a red cropped top with a floral pencil skirt and some sandals. I ate a mushroom tart, fish and veg and then ice cream.
Wednesday 29th July 2015 (Heraklion, Greece)
Again we walked around on our own for a couple of hours and because I didn't think it was really fair that I was restricting my sister because I was using her shoes, I bought some new black wedges for only 20 euros!!! That's like £15.
Tonight was the last formal night so I thought I'd dare it and go with a white dress and my new black wedges which are soooo comfy to walk in! I had the salad, beef Wellington and the ice creams.
Thursday 30th July 2015 (Piraeus, Greece)
Today was soooo bloody hot (39 degrees c) and instead of a 30 minute walk from the boat to the main shopping centre, we decided to go on the 'Fun Train' which cost 5 euros and would drop us off and pick us back up!
We stopped at a little cafe and I had the best peach tea I've ever had and it came with free cake! Can't complain! :D haha. But there was a lot of pigeons (if you don't know I have a slight fear of the bastards) Then we couldn't hack the heat any more so had to re-treat back to the boat for an endless supply of orange and cranberry juice :)
Tonight was informal night so I wore a burgundy lace dress and my black wedges and had the seafood salad, chicken fricoses (?) with mash and veg and the chocolate crème brulee which was insane!
Friday 31st July 2015 (Sea Day)
Like it always has been when it's been a sea day, I walked 4 miles today (thought I'd push myself haha) and we had to very slowly start packing because we were going to leave tomorrow :'( we had to return the books back to the library and because we had a luggage allowance we had to be careful what we bought back and what we kept here. So I used my make up wipes, left my razor, left my broken shoes etc.
I wore a black cami top with black trousers and my black wedges but I can't remember what I had to eat...awks. But we had to leave our suitcases outside of our cabin so they could be collected and transported outside ready for us to take them to the airport.
Saturday 1st August 2015 (Going home)
We had to wake extra early and fill our boots because we were going to be travelling all day :( We had to wait for our level that we were on to be announced that it was our time to leave and we then had to find our suitcases and queue for a coach to take us to the airport but we managed to snag the coach that had hardly anyone on it but the drive was only about an hour so wasn't too bad.
Then we got to the airport, which was suuuper windy, and literally had to wait 3 hours for our plane to arrive and because there was about 100+ people getting on our flight, there wasn't any seats left so we had to sit on the floor and because we're a party of 6 we couldn't sit together either on the plane ride, which wasn't that bad (thank god for music). We arrived at Manchester Airport and our driver picked us up and took us home. So after over 10 hours travelling and only having breakfast I was very very very tired :/
But overall I had a very good holiday and just want to thank everyone who helped us at any point and my family for making memories that I'll never forget <3 <3
Thank you sooo much!!
See you later guys.
