Day 7
We travelled from Miami to Florida keys stopping off at an alligator park on the way and I got to hold a baby Alligator yay :). Once we got to the campsite, which is the most stunning campsite ever. That night me, judy and Rhys stayed up untill seven to watch the sunrise and pissing about.
Day 8
Most of the group did a watersports day off the island. I went jetskiing parasailing and banana boat, all of which were a struggle on one hours sleep and a hangover! We went on a booze cruise in the evening, free drinks fuck yah, and then out on to the strip cos it was cinco de mayo! Such a good night :)
Day 9
Chiller day by the pool, by this point were all such good friends so it was nice to relax and catch up with family :)
Day 10
Orlando woohoo! As me and Kat are pussies we went round universal studios together avoiding the rollercoasters! Halfway through the day we met up with the others from our group who said that slash was playing at the universal hard rock cafe for $30 that evening. I think other than the sunrise night this has definitely been one of the best nights, seeing slash in a venue smaller than academy! The weather was shit so when we arrived back at the campsite it was a nice surprise that we’d booked cabins to stay in!
Day 11
This day just contained to much excitement to describe. We went to universal studios islands of adventure which is where the wizarding world Harry potter is! I started off the day quite apprehensive ride wise but by the end of it I went on the hulk, which is the biggest ride in the park! So proud :) Harry potter world was the highlight of my life. Spent far tooo much money but yolo ;)
Day 12
We had a long drive to a place called destin in florida so we arrived pretty late, just in time for a massive thunderstorm and to walk to the beach to see the sunset. In the evening we were talking about horror movies which shat me up specially as we were going caving soon :(
Day 13
We headed to new orleans and checked into a hotel which was gorgeous, I was sharing a room with vicki. After we’d eaten jambalaya we got ready to go out onto bourbon St. They have these drinks called hand grenades which are 90% proof alcohol, needless to say it was a messy night!
Day 14
Woke up hanging to the max so I went to go fester with judy and caz who are sisters from Surrey and soo lovely! We went out for lunch in new Orleans and walked round, it’s crazy to see some of the hurricane damage that still hasn’t been fixed :(
Day 15
We went to San Antonio and both groups went out for a mexican meal before going to the rodeo! Henry got so drunk and then attempted the rodeo bull which was hilarious, intact pretty much everyone was hilarious :)
Day 16
We went to San Antonio for shopping and to visit the Alamo, which was where Davy Crockett fought over the ownership of San Antonio. We started to have a girls day shopping but then decided to go with the lads to a shooting range.
Day 17
We travelled to carlsbad and went down the caverns, shat myself as it was literally the descent! Everyone was really mean so I ended up running round listening to atomic kitten :( we stayed in cabins at the campsite and played drinking games and sang along to joe and Henry playing guitar which was pretty cool!
Day 18
We drove to roswell and looked round the UFO museum looking complete knob ends in aluminium foil hats! We drove to santa fe and had the most amazing Mexican food in the evening :) cos it’s desert conditions it’s boiling during the day and freezing at night so early night!
Day 19
We drove from Santa fe to Durango stopping off at an ancient Spanish civilisation ruins for a hike round. On the way to the campsite we went through a dust cloud and a rock hit the window shattering it. Whilst we were all huddled on the side of the motorway some woman came and offered us snacks and drinks, Hobojoe and hobohenry were standardly the first people to accept! Anyway we now have a duck taped window for a few days yayy!
Day 20
Today! We drove to telluride in colorado which is a ski resort in the mountains, great for hikes :/ haha, i shot gunned the front seat for the drive and subjected everyone to hours of s club 7 and spice girls ;)
