Deep Sea World

Saturday, 26 April 2014


Hey Guys!!
 
The other attraction we went to was Deep Sea World, if you don't already know I love zoos' and aquariums and want to try and visit every single one of them :)
 
This is only small but you get to see a lot of different fish and reptiles, they also had 2 seals that really didn't like having their photo taken so we had to sneakily take it :) The one fish we seen I must admit I thought was a rock at first until it started swimming about.
 
Here are some pictures of some the different fish and reptiles, also 1 seal :)
 
This was the biggest lobster I had ever seen


The fish that looks like a rock





 
One of the things I was looking forward to in this aquarium was the fact they had a tunnel that you went around on a travelator and it had the biggest sharks I have ever seen in an aquarium :) It was so cool, you can  also dive with the sharks but you have to book that :)
 
On our way to the shark tunnel



 
I loved every minute of it and would definitely recommend this aquarium :) Sorry the pictures of the sharks are not very clear but it was hard as they kept moving :)
 
I also had a 'selfie' with a seal haha
 
 
If you would like to have a look at the Deep Sea World website, go ahead as I think its a lovely place to take children as well as just adults :)
 
Hope You Enjoyed This Post!!
 
See You Soon!!


Royal Yacht Britannia

Friday, 25 April 2014



Hey Guys!!
 
As you can see from the above picture, while in Scotland we went to the Royal Yacht Britannia. This Yacht belongs to the Queen and is stationed here and is used for people to tour.
 
It didn't take long to get there from our hotel, it was about half an hour, give or take with traffic of course. You actually have to go through a shopping centre to then go through to the Yacht, which you start from the top of and work your way down to the engine room.
 
Here is a picture before we got on the Yacht.
 
 
Me and Llewellyn love things like this as we love learning about the history behind things and I like to imagine what sort of things they got up to on the Yacht.
 
The whole tour is on audio and each section that you get to you have to type in the number for that section and it will tell you the history and what happened in that section. The audio 'tools' I said looked like retro mobile phones :)
 

 
A lot of the rooms were so big, I didn't even think the Yacht looked big enough to hold these rooms. Especially as I think it was the 3rd or 4th level that had a drawing room and it was so big and it was all softly furnished and carpeted all the way through.
 
Here are a few of my favourite rooms :)
 
Prince Phillips Room
The Queens Room
State Dining Room
The Drawing Room
Here is a link to the Royal Yacht Britannia Website and you can have a look around and maybe take a visit :)

See You Soon!!
 


Scotland Trip :) Stage 1: Packing

Tuesday, 15 April 2014

Hey Guys!!
 
So tomorrow morning the alarm will be going off really early and we will be setting off for the wonderful city of Edinburgh :) I seriously can not wait :)
 
I thought I would share with you my packing process, and what I will be taking with me :)
 
I have split it into 3 categories, Travel Bag, Suitcase and Miscellaneous :)
 
Lets Begin :D
 
Travel Bag
 

 
The bag I am using is my backpack I always use for flying and other holidays :) I got this one from Asda, if I remember correctly ha ha
The contents I am taking in it are:
iPod & Charger
Phone & Charger
Camera & Charger
Book to read while in the car
Purse & Road Trip CD
Deodorant
Medication for my ear
 
This is all the stuff I will need to keep me occupied on the travel up :)
 
Suitcase
 

 
When packing my suitcase I had 3 things to think of, outfit for the wedding, outfit for Friday and outfit for a night out.
So the contents are:
Blue Dress & Pink Blazer for the Wedding
Baseball Top & Jeans for Friday
Guns n Roses Top & Skirt for Night Out
 
Then came the even more difficult decision which of my lovely shoes do I pick to take away with me :) The lucky pairs were my black, suede ankle boots and my pale, pink heels :)
 
Miscellaneous
 
 
As you can see in this picture it is all the things I will need for when I have a shower, do my hair, make up and accessories.
The contents are:
Make Up & Bag
Bobby Pins & Bow Clips
Perfume
Hairspray
Straighteners
Hairdryer
Toiletries & Bag
Brush
Clutch Bag
 
Luckily all this fitted into a small suitcase along with Llewellyns things as well :)
 
I done myself proud as Llewellyn told me to pack light and I think I done very well as I probably could've packed a lot more ha ha
 
I hope you enjoyed this post and there will be more posts to come from our trip to Scotland :)
 
See You Soon!!
