I haven’t posted anything for about a month now, and the reason for it is that I have been in Bath, England for 3 weeks. It was my first time out of the country without my family, and it was my first time on a plane as well – A lot of new things all at once.
I have never been so nervous and scared as I was when I saw the plane for the first time. I did take a pill that was suppose to help me relax, and yes it worked a little. I was shaking and I didn’t really know if I should cry or laugh – It was a weird feeling.
But when We got on the plane and sat down, I was looking out of the window and all of the sudden the plane stared moving. I wanted to scream, but I didn’t – Properly not the best idea on a plane. It was driving faster and faster and I would see Copenhagen get smaller and smaller. It was so surreal. I could see Sweden and the bridge from Denmark to Sweden, for a whole new perspective. I couldn’t stop looking out the window the entire flight – 1 hour and 30-40 mins. When We got to Bristol, We were sat outside the airport and had a smoke. I was so confused. We were one hour behind what I’m used to and the cars were driving on the wrong side of the road.
We got on the bus that should get Us to Bath. It was so weird to be on the other side of the road and drive the other way around in the roundabouts, and to be honest – I was a bit scared that we would hit a car, but luckily we didn’t.
When We arrived in Bath, it was quiet late and We were both really tired and hungry. He showed me around they city center while we were waiting for the bus that took us to his place. He lives almost all the way up the hill, so the view is amazing. It was a bit weird to see his room in person after 1,5 years on Skype. I was in the room – What?!
We were still hungry so we got in his car and drove to a little shop and got some food, and then straight to bed.
If I write about what We did every day it would be the longest blog post in the world, so let’s make it short. He showed me a lot of really amazing viewpoints, bridges and where he goes when I’m not there with him. We did spend a lot of time in Bath city center, but we also went to Bristol – Both some really nice places.
Oh, and We went to his uncles wedding and I met his family. People were so nice and talked to me like we already knew each other. But one thing that surprised me a little is, that they hugged me the first time they met me – Not that it’s a problem, but I’m not used to that. Normally I would shake there hands, but no, they hugged me. They made me feel very welcome.
But before the wedding, We had to find a dress for me, which wasn’t easy because I’m normally not a dress type of girl at all and it shouldn’t be too expensive, but we did find a lot of dresses that I/He liked. I have never tried on so many dresses in my life. A lot of them were a size or two to big, but there were one that fit perfectly and it was only 4 pounds, which is around 30-40 DKK. You could never find a dress so cheep in Denmark.
I didn’t feel anxious walking around town full of people, it was an amazing feeling. And something I was really nervous about was talking to people over there, and some people would properly think “Why?” because they think my english is good, but I’m actually really insecure about my english, but it wasn’t a problem for me, and I was surprised.
And now when I’m back, I feel so much stronger and my energy is back. It was a good decision to go with Him back to England. But it was amazing to see my family and friends again, never missed them so much before and it was hard to be away from them for so long, but it didn’t really effect me that much, only a day or two.
I did film a little bit when I was away, not as much as I thought I did/wanted to, but I decided to edit it anyway and make a video, so You guys can see what I/We saw when We were in England and my family of cause.
