UK Roadtrip

Hi,
I know it's been a while, so sorry about that, lots to do.
A few weeks ago I went on a road trip through the UK with my dad and sister.
It was an amazing week where we had a lot of fun and of course we also did a lot of driving :)
We did 4 cities in one week, Oxford, Leeds, Edinburgh and Brighton. On the road we also made some other stops and about a few of them I wanna talk about today.
If you wanna see all what we've been up to on our trip you can see it on our youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpiKGAm1dEcAOUiFoFQsY6w
We did our first vlog week and it was so exciting I hope you'll enjoy watching it.

But today I wan't to talk about 2 specific stops we made and they both are related to Harry Potter!
The first stop we did was in Oxford where they filmed for one of the movies was the new college, we couldn't get in but you could see at the outside of the building that it was in the movies. Another stop was a the museum of Oxford, where they also filmed, we did't go inside cause the line was so long and we only were one day in Oxford. But a pleasant surprise was that the museum actually was the home of the father of Alice from Alice in Wonderland. We also found the candy shop where Alice went to buy her favorite candy, now it's named Alice's shop. Another we learned is that this city was the home of a lot of great stories, like Narnia and also JRR Tolkien called Oxford his home. I didn't know a lot of Oxford but it was a really pleasant surprise to learn so much of this beautiful city, I would recommend it to everyone and especially if you like stories like me :)

Another stop I wanted to talk about was Malham Cove where they filmed for Harry Potter and the deadly hallows part 1. This was first of all quite a drive to find it, we had to drive on the smallest roads ever! But at the end we arrived, but not before taking the hike of our life :) First we had to walk a little while till the bottom of the cove, i think it was about a half hour, but it went quit fast. We took a lot of pictures and then we started the climb till the top, because there they filmed for the movie. I'm not gonna lie, the climb was killing me and my dad, my sister did quit well :) We had to stop 3 times until we made it till the top. But once up there it was so beautiful we forgot all the pain of making the climb. Also there we made a lot of pictures and had our picnic. After staying there for about an hour we went back down, what was also painful with all those stairs, we had quit the workout that day :)
It was a beautiful day, but sadly enough we found out a few days later we deleted all the pictures of that day on my sister her canon, luckily we also took pictures with our phones.

Those where the 2 main stops I wanted to talk to you about, if you want to see more of our trip you can see pictures on my instagram:theadventure_oflife or on youtube with the link on top. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. I would love to go on a trip through Scotland in the future to because it's such a beautiful county to. I loved traveling through the UK and the company was also the best :)

Love,

What happens in Vegas...

Hello,

So while I studied in L.A. my friend Alice and I went for a weekend to Las Vegas :)
The Friday after school we went to rent a car cause we wanted to drive ourself.
At the car rental place they were so nice, we ordered a small car, something cheap and when they found out we were going to Vegas they said we couldn't go in that car. We said we didn't want to pay much on the car and so they made us such a good deal we took it and so we went to Vegas in a Chrysler cabriolet :)

Road trip!! The road till there was so nice, a lot of nature and then the desert.
We arrived early in the evening and we stayed at The Bellagio, first we went to our room. Big mistake, the room was so great we didn't want to leave! But after refreshing we went out for dinner at the cheese cake factory. While we were eating we also thought of what doing that night, we were tired of the drive so didn't wanna go party. After a while we decided to go to see the chippendales. So thats what we did, but we wanted to walk till there and of course got lost... We saw less and less people and after a while no more hotels... So when we got to a hotel we asked where to go and the guy said we were lost for sure, he got us a cab and so we still got in time for the show.
The show was really nice and I thought it was also funny :) For all the girls out there, I can recommend it :) After the show we went back to our hotel and went to bed.

Saturday morning we went to Wendy's for breakfast, so good, but not healthy of course, but whatever it's Vegas. After that we walked down the whole strip. You find everything there, shops, bars,... I really liked to see the strip. In the afternoon we saw more and more people with big glasses of iced drinks, after a little while we found a place who sold it, of course there was alcohol in them, we both bought one to drink while sightseeing. I also saw a side of Vegas people wanna forget, I saw a girl around my age sitting on the street with a sign who said she got cancer and needed money for the bills, that I found so sad, that the government don't help the sick people, she lost everything just because she got sick. I hope that is better now with the Obama care!
We also went into the big hotels to see the inside and saw the shows at the hotels, like the fountains at the Bellagio. There are really nice shows. After diner we went to the casino of the hotel to chase our luck. Well I didn't had any luck, but it was fun to do. After we decided to get to the club, as a guest of the hotel you have free entrance in the club The bank, so there we went. It was such a nice club, but the drinks are so expensive! We had a really nice time and stayed so late!

Sunday morning we were up late and went back to Wendy's for breakfast. After a small walk down the strip we went to get our stuff and check out. Then we headed back to L.A. Road trip back :)

 We didn't have the wild Vegas trip, but still had a lot of fun :) I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good time! Taking the ride till there was also so much fun, a real road trip to do with some friends. I hoped you enjoyed my stories about my time in L.A. and California.

Love,
Sarah
