Even MORE to do now!

London's pace is one of the quickest but somehow it seems to have hastened! I have so much on the go and literally days left here before I head home (33 to be exact!). The rush is on and even after an amazing holiday in Croatia I do not feel relaxed.

Croatia is a stunning country. It's still quite untouched and not being part of the European Union it feels quite foreign. We had fantastic weather, although it thunder stormed most evenings, which after a hot day was welcomed. We made some really great friends and saw some really remote islands. The highlights of the trip were pretty clear to me. When we first arrived in Zadar we took a ferry across to an island called Uglian where we hiked up to the highest point where the remains of a 14th century Venetian fort stands - it was an amazing view and really great exercise! After two nights in Zadar we hired a car and drove the new highway at 150 kph (only 20 over!) to Split then took the coastal road to Dubrovnik where we met our ship, the "Kneza". One of our first stops was an island called Mljet, a fairly remote and undiscovered place. In the middle of the island is a lake where we went swimming in the middle of the night. It was incredible! There was some kind of phosphorus element that made the water glow when you swam in it. It was incredible! The stars were shining so brightly in the sky and it felt like I was swimming in them too! As we sailed up the coast we stopped at an island called Korcula, where little did I know, Marco Polo was born! The whole trip was amazing - we saw such gorgeous scenery, had beautiful weather, enjoyed the company of good friends, AND most importantly - I didn't barf ONCE! I came close a few times, but didn't! Success!

So here I am again, supposed to be writing reports but begin distracted by my blog (or anything really at this point!). I have less than two weeks to get over 150 done and less than two weeks to sort everything for the Summer Art Exhibtion. I am not panicking yet but I probably should be. I cannot believe 4 weeks today is the LAST day I will spend with these children. I'm in shock it's gone by so quickly. Such exciting things to come though!

I have my final dress fitting on Saturday which I am very excited about - hopefully I can just get that out of the way and know it's all ready to go. Just about all of the big important things are sorted for the wedding! All of the small things I am leaving till the last minute when I get home where I have friends and family to help! Yes yes you will all be employed one way or another...lol.

I have to run to go teach a design class - sorry this update is rather short!

All my love,
Amy
