 Hi Everyone!  Thanks for following my year of travel! For Christmas this year I got a digital camera and I have loved trying it out around the place, so I decided to create a new blog called Shutterspeed and start a photography blog! Here are a few pics I have taken so far, more to come in Shutterspeed! Here is the link to Shutterspeed - https://shutt3rsp33d.blogspot.com/ -Emily

  Hi Everyone, Sorry I haven't written in a while! A lot of you who read this are my family, and I have been visiting a lot of you recently! We are now staying in an apartment in Melbourne on the 30th floor of a huge building. It has such a great view, especially in the early morning. I love Melbourne, I was born here, but I do miss the country and the small towns we have visited before.  Not long till Xmas! The Christmas windows are in Myers and there are trees in almost every building. I'm so excited! Write more soon, -Emily

  Hi Everyone! We're in Bath or a few days! I love it hear, it's awesome! There is a huge Christmas market on every day from 6am to 9pm and it has heaps of cool stalls like glass works, dryer balls shaped like sheep, nut brittle and the best of all, HOT SPICED APPLE JUICE!!! It's sooooo yummy!!! This was my first big Xmas market and it was amazing! We even saw a Spanish Circus performer doing cool fire juggling tricks@ We also went to the old Roman Bath house and I was amazed! This was such an incredible piece of history, and we got to walk around it! I think it was the only spot in Europe where water comes from underground above 40 degrees! It was bubbling in the spring, and the Romans believe it's a goddess snoring underwater. I bought a replica Roman coin for my coin collection too. We also saw a church with cool lights on the side (beautiful), a cool bridge with shops on it, a cool waterfall in the river, and the Royal semicircle! We saw the circle in Edinburgh and ...

  Hi Everyone! We went to visit a Welsh Castle! It was huuuuge! The towers were super high and vertigo-y. It was a beautiful day, so we walked around exploring all the turrets and rooms. There was old moat ditches, prison towers, stained glass, old fireplaces, a wooden throne, beautiful arches, lookout towers and even a replica stocks! It was super cool. On the map it said that the king's head was in one of the rooms and my dad, my sister and I were all expecting a skull or something, but no, it was a wire sculpture. Still cool though. The towers would have had multiple stories, but the wooden floor had rotted away. It looked super cool!!!! We took a cool pic where we could see a shadow on an opposite wall, and it looked awesome!  Write more soon, -Emily King's head! /\
