16 in London!

Last friday, the 17th of January it was 16th birthday. Doubtless a really different one, spent in Sweden and England.

I used to spend my birthdays with my friends and family, people that knew me and people that made me happy everyday. This year, though, was completely different. I was very happy that my friends in Portugal remembered, but I missed them even much that day. Anyway I spent it in my new home (Sweden) with my new friends and I can say it was better than I though it could have ever been. It was funny and an amazing experience.

My day was kind of busy:I woke up at 5 am to swim and then I went to school, at 4pm I was in Västerås Airport, ready to go to London. At 9pm I was finally in one of the greatest cities in the world.

Now the funny stuff: I spent the weekend in London and it was a big shame that it was so few time. I did half of the things I had planned to do and I didn't do any shopping!!! While in there I visited:

- Sherlock Holmes Museum (which I'm a great fan of so I just loved it!)

- The Science Museum (it took me 4 hours to see 1/4 of the museum, I hope I'll go back to the most interesting museum ever)

- I walked a lot in London to see the Big Ben, The Parliament House, The Tower bridge and the London Eye.

The funniest thing was of course running in the Hyde Park.

Here are the best pictures:

I'm now back home and ready for a lot of study and to keep fighting for my dreams.

Back from Portugal and to my blog...

I've been absent for some time, I went to Portugal and I didn't have Wi-Fi, so it was hard to write in here.
So a summary of what I have been doing: I was here, in sweden, till the 19th of January, the day I left to Lisbon when I got there the first thing I did was meeting my family and friends. I really missed them and I didn't remember how good it was to be back. I was glad I could be there again, to work out in a warm place and eat good food!!! (I've just eaten lunch in school and it was really bad swedish food)

So christmas came and I had the usual party at home with family and food. I got some presents and a great surprise. I tried to not eat too much once christmas is the international day of calories.

 Good christmas food by my grandmother :)

Some friends I met

I had two running competitions where I did well both new year's running competitions in Portuguese called São Silvestre. I will write about them in my Triathlon page.

Between Christmas and new year I hang out with my friends, I ran and cycled outside (in sweden that's not possible). 

For New year I traveled to Algarve (South of Portugal) and I celebrated it there with my cousins and parents. the weather was great and in the 1st of january I did my first 2014 dive in the beach of "Manta Rota" in Tavira. 

Now I'm back to Västerås and once it's much colder here I got a bad cold. Anyway I'm back to my normal trainings and I've started school today. It's hard to get back to the daily routine but I'm working on it.

I hope you like it :)

First Snow!!

*I wrote this post 1 month ago but I didn't have time ti the pictures (most interesting). Now here they are*

Finally the snow is here!! Last weekend it was the coldest days of my life and it snowed a lot. The temperatures went down to -9°C and quickly everything went white outside.

Of course I enjoyed these first snowy, when on Friday I got home I lay down in the snow and I really liked it. It feels very weird to look around and see so much snow but I'm trying to see it like a normal think in Sweden.
This weekend was great, even with this cold I enjoyed a good running outside and the fist days biking in the snow.

Anyway I keep going to school by bike, people call me crazy, but I find it very funny and better than taking half an hour to pick up the bus to school.

It's now only 10 days!!! to go to Portugal in Christmas vacation and I'm feeling very happy about it, I'm looking forward to get some warm weather :D.

Yesterday I started using Snapchat and I find it very funny so if you have one just message me.

I hope you enjoy my experience and if you have some tips don't hesitate in telling me.
