Well it's late....again....and I'm still up....again. As if passing through 2 pretty big time zones in the past week wasn't enough, tonight the clocks go back an hour. My body is now officially out of whack haha. When I first arrived in London everyone was amazed I wasn't at all jetlagged. Is it possible to catch up with you a week later? As that's how I feel. YAWN. I hardly wanted to get off the couch this morning. Wasn't til about 2 o clock I finally got up and ready and out of the house. We walked around Sodetalje and then up a HUGE hill (whew! workout!) to get to the musuem. It was a very neat little place with old buildings, friendly people and all kinds of animals like a petting farm. Was fun and could look out from the top over the whole city.
Back to those first few nights in London I would get a few hours of rest early in the night then be up at crazy hours in the AM. Now I can't seem to get to sleep and lay awake until 2 am which then leads to wanting to sleep til noon and waste the day. Predicament! Just when I get used to it I'm going back to the UK time zone. Such is travelling I suppose!
I keep thinking in the words of my dad the other day....."you look tired" when talking about one of my pictures I posted. I'm supposed to look happy, fullfilled, amazed and refreshed....yet so far I look tired haha.
One other tidbit....I still don't think this whole idea of backpacking Europe alone as a solo female traveller has really set in. I mean it's always been something I've wanted to do and in the past few years have been a pretty adventurous soul...and yet here I am feeling like this is all kind of normal. It's not until someone is amazed at the fact I'm setting out to conqur the world on my own and responds with OH WOW.....BY YOURSELF?!?! I mean this is 2011....there are alot of other woman like me.....I think.
I don't feel all that different anyway. Maybe I will as my adventures progress and I am no longer in the safety of my wonderful friends along the way. They have made the beginning of my trip sooooo fantastic beyond all my expectations <3 !! (LOVE)
I kept thinking I was just busy with all the planning that once I hit London it would all sink in....nope, how about Sweden, still nope....maybe Scotland....we shall see!
Nothing much to report just wanted to put some words down on here and try to quiet my mind so I can get some rest. I was feeling like my blog has been pretty point form the last few entries and would like to get back to putting a little more flow and fun in my writing.
Hmmmm what will Sunday Funday bring....
Off to count some sheep....wish me luck!
