One more night until I'm in Ghana

At the moment I'm on the train to London to stay the night there, however due to some broken connections on the trainline I have to go the complete opposite way to Birmingham and go via a different route, and will arrive at my hostel at 12.30am instead of 10pm. BUT I got a first class ticket as it was the same price ticket as a standard one online, so I've been served lots of drinks for free and can use the internet for free!

I'll be staying in a hostel in London tonight as 2 friends from Australia happen to arrive in London at around 9am tomorrow, so I thought I couldn't miss this opportunity to see them. I'l see them for about 2 hours and then start heading to London heathrow, where I'll meet up with my dad as by coincidence he has a connection flight there.

The last few days I've been so busy but it's been incredibly nice to have been able to see nearly everyone I wanted to! The goodbyes to my main group of girls and to my best friends have been the hardest but I know that the ones that really count will come and visit me in Holland or stay in contact:) I've gotten some absolutely lovely letters and beautiful present including a stunning silver bracelet and 2 really pretty necklaces and of course lots of chocolates, so been spoilt rotten!

There have been quite a few very emotional goodbyes and they were hard but it also means that I've obviously really enjoyed my time in England and have made some amazing friends. Now to think that I'll be in a different country, culture and in a place I've never been before, this time tomorrow is so surreal! 

I'll make sure to write down many first impressions I get when I arrive so I won't forget and will update you all as soon as I have time and can find some internet! Thanks all you guys for reading my blog and showing your support!
