#1 On Stranger Tides

I couldn't decide on a title because I really wanted to knock another POTC title off the list and I also really wanted start a bucket list. So as a wise child carefully selected by an advertising company once said...

I'm going to finish off my holiday pictures with a one from each city - no mockery about the declining quality please.

Because Florence was a dead city due to it being Christmas and Italians being highly religious, all we did was eat more pasta and celebrate Christmas. Instead of one of the billion selfies that always end up being taken in a club, here's a photo I stole from Kevin of the typical tourists holding up the leaning tower of Pisa.

And then we visited Lucerne and caught a glimpse of the alps. Unfortunately, the weather was too unfriendly for us to climb Mt. Pilatus which was a little disappointing.

On the famous Chapel bridge that almost burnt down completely - even with its extreme proximity to water

And then the beautiful city of Paris. There are literally a thousand photos on my iPhone from Paris and I'm sure there are plenty more on the cameras. Everything is just so ridiculously symmetrical. And the grass is so green. The whole city is set out so perfectly, it might as well be a movie set. If I was bothered I'd dedicate a real post to Paris. But I have a poor track record, so I won't promise anything.

And I'll break my rule with a 2nd photo from Paris because...

Look! The Relay store from Sydney train stations. But in Parisian gare (because I speak French now)

And finally wrapping up both our European adventures and the year in the splendidly miserable city of London.

Cold. Raining. Big Ben. Red Double Decker. Check, check, check and check.

And then I went back to America and back to Sydney and fast forward 6 months I'm starting a bucket list. The original title for my bucket list post was actually going to be "#1 Visit All The Continents In the World By 25" - so for those who thought the first item on my bucket list was to be on stranger tides - haha.

Noone actually thought so did they?

My future

Either way, for anyone whose keeping score and still unsure (I should become a rapper) - I'm 20 and I've been to Australia (of course), Asia, North America and Europe. In the next 5 years, I must visit South America, Africa and Antarctica. I'm so excited and will be truly disappointed in my 25 year old self if I fail.

In other news I promised a Cat Post to a friend in my mentally impaired pre-exam state and as I am no oath-breaker, watch out for that!
