we go travel again
Posted by peanut on Wednesday Feb 27, 2008 Under travelyup.. again.. hahaha. and this time i’m going to land of our former penjajah… England! and of course some other destinations as well. too bad i have only 12 days holidays. so it feels more like amazing race, rushing here and there, trying to make the best out of every little thing. and this time the traveling partner is my friend dhani, with whom the history is kinda complicated to be explained here.. anyway.. if u read the last post, u will already know that i had some problem traveling from Moscow to Riga.. but as soon as we stepped on the plane in Lidosta airport in Riga, our adventure begins! this time, first destination is….
1 :: London
was really happy that it was a sunny day when i first reached London. big buildings, bright sun, green grass.. that is all u need to really start a trip and to boost my spirit for this holiday!
the tower bridge - personally i think that it is kinda sad that a lot of patriotic fellas’ heads were hang here.. but no doubt, it is a good piece of architecture.
sometimes all you need is just stop and look at it.. nice view.. have a kit-kat.
night view of the london street from double decker… did some serious window shopping too :)
we took a bus from London to Sunderland. Eric’s base.. the journey was kinda long and it was so cold there.. well.. according to the Sunderland head of mafia there, we ‘russian fella’ brought some real winter to Sunderland. Went to some mini-market to get stuffs for laksa. haha.. basically had a nice time there visiting him, gotta know his life there better. it is a cool place except for that stupid drunkard who stared at me.. but i think i already got use to it in Russia. Lol..
this is the so called ‘winter garden’. was really windy that time..
Reach this place to catch a bus to Edinburgh.. too bad that i have only few hours here.. Anyway, met up with Sookchiung for the first time in 5 years.. hahaha.. really would like to spent much time there..
this is one of my favourite place of all. the old town of Edinburgh is simply magical. u can find lots of small alleys branching out like a fish skeleton along the Royal Mile. Harry Porter was written here and there is no doubt that the book would never exist if the writer was in the wrong place. no better place to start talking about magics, dungeons and dragons other than Edinburgh! i swear i saw vampires walking here and there at night, i saw Dracula, i saw William Wallace. well.. maybe i’m not good with my words in describing how the place is but it is definitely a ‘must-visit’ place.
well.. coming here wasn’t a mistake at all.. i’ve got nature, education and alcohol in one go.. Guinness is for geniuses! yup.. wat impresses me most about this place is its clean city, and a kind of village feeling that u can get when u r just some 10 mins away from the city centre, a nice view from the gravity bar just brings me good mood and the Guinness… hahaha.. the Guinness.. dunno how to describe.. u just need to try it yourself. of course, not to forget about knowing some cool guys there..
