It's always sunny in Philadelphia Zoo!

Today we had a very hot sunny day at Philadelphia Zoo!! It's a really awesome zoo that taught people a lot about conservation and the environment at the same time as giving you loads of awesome animals to look at! 

My favourite animals are big cats, so I was delighted to find they had an area dedicated to big cats, including tigers, lions, snow leopards, cheetahs and jaguars! One of the tigers looked particularly beautiful as it cooled down in the water. Seeing the big cats made me miss my smaller (but still rather chubby) cats at home! 


Toms favourite animals were Galapagos tortoises! There were loads and they were all out in the sunshine. However the biggest one, called Bubba, was being a bit too cheeky, everyone had to avert their eyes!! 


An amazing animal that I didn't expect to see at the zoo was a polar bear!! We got to his enclosure just at the perfect moment as he dived in to the water! There was an underwater viewing area and you could see just how powerful his front crawl was!! 


After the zoo we headed back to Reading Terminal market again for some dinner. Tom got Chinese sesame chicken with fried rice and I got a Nutella crepe because I've been missing Nutella. We also got a big tub of watermelon and some fresh OJ! 



When we got back to the hotel we were welcomed back by a flooded bathroom and hallway in our room. Not happy bunnies as we had to move all our stuff  four floors down!! However we are now all packed and ready to leave for Washington DC tomorrow!!!

DC duck tour!!

Today we got up fairly early and went for the hotel breakfast. I had fruit loops, which were super weird and Tom had dodgy doughnuts!!  We went into the city and our first stop was Obama's place! Obviously Barack didn't get the memo that we were in town so sadly missed out on meeting us.  After seeing the White House we walked to Union station, with a bit of retail therapy and lunch on the way! I got a pretty top from Forever 21! We had lunch in Pret, I had a California club sandwich and Tom had a New York Meatball wrap!!  We got to the station and boarded our vessel for the DC duck tour! The captain was called Captain Bucky and he was hilarious, he told us a funny joke to do with porridge when we told him we were from Norwich!! The tour was awesome, a really great way to see all of DC's monuments and memorials and learn things about them in the process! There is definitely an added excitement when you get on to the water, although it was a bit scary when Captain Bucky let

Worst Lecture Ever!

Friday began at 11, with a Meteorology lecture that I was (as always) late to. However I only missed a bit of recap so it was all good. During the lecture we learnt about the First Law of Thermodynamics, and there was a lot of maths involved. I still managed to follow it all though which was nice. After the lecture I rushed back home quick as my lil legs could carry me! I had a couple hours break and wanted to make the house look nice for when Tom arrived that evening. I literally spent the whole of my break tidying the kitchen and it didn't look like I'd even touched it, it was so messy. At 2 I headed back into uni for two super fun hours of maths! The first was a Vector Calculus lecture with the lecturer that I really like. The maths is quite hard but he explains it all really really well and takes it nice and slow, he gets a big ol' thumbs up from me. However my second lecture couldn't have been further from the nice, well-explained maths we'd been doing pr
