Most memorable moment for each place
Manchester: Being greeted by David Rawlings with a Slovenian flag after a 24 hour flight and jumping straight into the car to go to Scotland.
Glasgow: Being confronted with the owner of a B&B who had a massive love of Australian Culture (well, for Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson at least) and wholeheartedly failing to understand most of what he was trying to say.
York: Discovering that Ryan Forster has developed a hilarious slight Northern English accent. Also meeting fellow ESCDaily.com editor Nathan Waddell for a delicious lunch and a hilarious trip through the Jorvik viking museum.
Nottingham: Definitely the petting zoo. Anyone who hangs out with me at uni knows how I feel about ducks. There were hundreds and I got to feed them. <3 <3 <3
Leicester: Bristol City fans chanting "I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Leicester's a shithole, I wanna go home" followed by Dave's comment: "It's funny 'cause it's true".
London: Lively Eurovision discussion with another fellow ESCDaily.com Editor, Luke Fisher and ending the best roadtrip I've ever been on!
Special thanks of course go to David Rawlings for driving me the several hundred km's around the UK and more importantly for being one of my best friends. Love you David!
Thats it! I'm in Tallinn now and you'll get a full report of my first weekend in my new homeland once I'm settled in to my dorm in Tartu!
Head aega!
