Big Ben.. Do You Miss Me?

We went out quite early since there were so many places to cover.. but the traffic and tubes were not as hectic as usual.. Does Monday a new Sunday for them? Ermm.. ( ^_')..

Last two days we were unable to explore many places since the tubes had been closed due to the construction and maintenance.. and for today, the tube has been operated normally to ensure public can used it and go to work at ease.. (^_^).

From Mooregate, we changed tubes and stopped at South-Kensington.. At first we wanted to go to the museum but it was not open yet.. So we walked up to the Royal Albert Hall and hang around Albert Memorial Park..

After 10.00 am we walked down the streets and got back to the museum.. Nana and Fara was so gengki to see the museum.. though, it’s quite okey in there .. The Science Museum is quite awesome .. Last time when I was in London way back in 2007, I'm not manage to go there.. so glad to come back then (^^,).

Lost in London

Need to check-out.. We had only booked rooms in Malaysian Halls for a night. Beside, Uda-chan had already booked another room at Travelodge around Mooregate, so we ought to go there..

Around 10.00 am we stepped out Malaysian Halls.. walked and got around Bayswater to get some souvenir.. There were many souvenir store in Bayswater with a fair range of price.. so we got ourselves some this and that before we left.

Malaysian Halls

Then we moved to Camden Lock Market.. Camden Market is just like Petaling Street in Malaysia (^^,).. or the bazaar area Masjid India (^_^)..

Variety of goods and stuff like in the nite market but the price is quite pricey (^^,).. so we just walked and watched the crowd around..

Mind the Gap.. Beep! Beepp!!

Our second week trip had begun! so we woke up at 5.00 am for an early start today.. (#_#)v yatta~ excited yet so sleepy..

For week-2, we had planned two main saiko destinations. For the start, we decided to go to London.. and as early as 7.00 am we were already at the train station. Thus, from Aberdeen-Scotland, we took a train and went straight to London-England..

Got Wifi in the train.. (^_^)v.. saiko desu!

London is way down the map.. It took almost 7 hours to get there.. We really had to enjoy a long period of time in the train (^^i).. So, why train? Why not just fly to London?

As said by Uda.. She really like to let us experience and see with our own eyes the splendid scenery along the way from Aberdeen to London.. and the most beautiful view was when the train entered Stonehaven–Dundee-Edinburgh, as the train railway was next to the coast and it passed through beaches and seaside..

Castle Trail in Aberdeenshire

Our itinerary had been planned by Uda-chan since December 2009 (^_^).. and for today we were tracking down old castles as in Scotland they had this adventure-tourist-trip called castle trail.. Thus, I’ve been awake as early as 4.00 am (Wakon Yosai Spirit)..

We have to fry macaroni, make some sandwiches, brews a thermos full of coffee, fried some rice and few others for our picnic during the trip later.. Seem it’s so unfair to make all of this by myself.. so lets wake them up too.. (^_^)

Hence, the breakfast and picnic basket were so ready.. It was the time to get going. At 8.30 am we started our day activities and to make it much more easier; we brought GPS, so no more terkial-kial reading the map and get lost like before (^^i).. (Well.. technology do make it easy for us rite (^^,)..)

Summer Holiday 2010..

05 June 2010 [Sabtu]
Fara, Nana and I were going to KLIA.. Our flight was at 23.15 pm.. We should transit in Amsterdam first and then flew to Aberdeen (^_^) saiko naa~~.. So.. we reached KLIA around 6.00pm.. After settled all the matters at counter, we get ourselves in and waited inside near the gate.. just to get there early so we won’t miss the flight ne~? (^^,) ~giler bersemangat. (^^’ )

From Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam, it took more-less 12 hours and 40 minutes.. for transit in Amsterdam around 4 hours, and after that it’s only an hour and 25 minutes to get to Aberdeen. For this time, we fly with KLM.. and we have been spoiled with food.. lots and lots of food (^^,).. imagine this.. we were just awake from nap and they offered us, either hot noodles or refreshing ice creams? ~haha nanja kore.. which one should we choose? (^^!)..

Then around 5.50 am, we reach Amsterdam.. we got refreshed and surveyed around so that we able to locate the gate for our next flight.. While waiting, we did some shopping and pictures taking.. and then we thought that we want to have a visit to the airport museum (Saiko na? this airport has a museum within the building) however it was under construction.. so to fully spend our 4 hours there, we were just wandered around the shops within the gate area..
