Week 17 - London Coffee Festival

Lots of freebies and some really good food and drink, but primarily for the caffeine lover

I've only really started appreciating the power of coffee since starting work at a 'proper' job and I like it as much as the next man, but is there really a difference between different types of coffee? This week I decided to go to the London Coffee Festival to find out.

Week 16 - The Gherkin / 99 Club comedy

Went inside a famous London vegetable and had a bit of a laugh 

This week I got the opportunity to go up an icon of the London skyline - 30 St. Mary's Axe aka The Gherkin Building and also went to a comedy gig at the 99 Club.

Week 14 - International Pillow Fight Day

Completely silly but ultimately a great laugh and excellent stress relief!

This week I was in the centre of London for something a little different - International Pillow Fight Day.

Week 13 - University Boat Race

With the rowers out of sight after only a few seconds, the race over very quickly and the whole bank area of the river overcrowded with pompous tools, you have to question if it's worth it... Yet a surprisingly good time was had by all.

This week I headed down to the bank of the Thames to catch the annual Oxford-Cambridge University Boat Race.

Week 12 - Universal Studios / Seaworld

Still in Florida for this week and most of the experiences have been more different than new, but certainly a lot of fun none the less

As with last week I'm still playing catch-up so again it's more of a picture book this week. 
Second week away in Florida and this week I have been to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Seaworld, and finally tried a root beer float.

Week 11 - Disney World / Discovery Cove

Away in Florida this week with a chance to spend time with family and my inner child and tick one of the things off my bucket list

Busy week of new experiences this week, but since I'm a little behind I'll keep it short and sweet. 
During the first week whilst away in Florida to celebrate my dad's birthday we went to Walt Disney Worldate at the Chef's table in a restaurant and swam with dolphins at Discovery Cove.
