A Magical Guide to the Warner Bros Studio Tour in London: Everything You Need to Know

Image
Fact: In my entire life, I’ve only cried once at a tourist attraction. And judge me all you want, but this cryfest happened at a Harry Potter studio tour. … Allow me to explain myself. Like most children born in the 90s, much of my youth was spent daydreaming about the arrival of my Hogwart’s acceptance letter. As this dream dwindled with the hardships of adulting, I instead took comfort in carbs and magical movie marathons. But, it didn’t take much for these childhood dreams to resurface. A trip to London was all it took to re-open the floodgates (literally). Let me tell you: for a Harry Potter fan, there is no attraction on this Earth more overwhelming and amazing than the  Warner Bros Studio Tour London, (AKA London’s Harry Potter set tour), which brings you through the filming site for all 8 movies in the Harry Potter franchise. In addition to sets, you’re also shown countless props, the best gift shop in the world, and even a chance to taste butter beer for yourself. Come on

Black Sand Beaches of St Vincent

Image
We docked up at St Vincent, the largest island in the Grenadines. I visited the Grenadines for my 10th birthday but missed out St Vincent so this was my first time visiting this island. First impressions were good. Sitting on my balcony, I looked at the roughed cliffs that scoured the coastlines, jagged rocks at their feet. Turquoise waves lapped at the fallen rocks. It certainly looked like a wild island which was a relief after visiting overly-commercialised St Lucia. I'd heard that this island had black sand beaches, something which I as yet to witness. The main luxury resort on the island had some white sand imported for its beach which I find terribly sad as the black sand is iconic, has an edge of mystery and is native to the island. The view out my balcony I just can't get enough pictures of our boat We had an excursion booked today called 'Pirates of the Caribbean Tour' where a catamaran took us to some spots along
