London (Part 4)

Hi,

It's very hectic at work, and I'm still here in the office, and it's close to 7PM, and the thunder just rumbled outside. I have no idea what time will this be done as I need to deliver it for the Big Boss' approval by tonight, and so whiclst waiting, I'd better get cracking and update my London journey. Smart plan ehh?;)<-- Yeah right, that's what you tell yourself! Luckily I love my job:)

OK, let's continue with my London journal.

On the third day was officially the last day in London as we would be departing to Paris early the next day. So here are the photos. Gee...Padan muka tunggu lepas 2 bulan baru nak update blog pasal trip ni kan...? But don't be too hard on me please, cause a month after that I flew back to London! And also Geneva. But that's another story, we finish off this one dulu ok:)

Amik feel dulu bergambar depan rumah:)

This is where we stayed, and upon leaving, the destination was...

Green Park! Leading to...

Any idea yet??

It's the Buckingham Palace!:)

This is where that famous kiss took place last April.




Ok, once we were done with Buckingham Palace, off we walked back to Green Park station and disembarked at Westminster only to find this sight greeting us upon exiting the station:

Big Ben!:)



Sanggup tu panjat the pagar next to it and asked my brother to practically lie on the pavement just to get this shot ok!! Haahahaha..

Then, we made our way next door to Westminster Abbey. But seriously, the architecture of those old buildings could just blow you away!






After that, we took the train and got off at Bayswater to go to the Malaysian Hi-Comm and have late lunch there. Rindu sambal belacan worr!!:))

Lepas tu jalan mana pulak ehhs? Erkk.. lupa la... But basically that's what we did that day. I guessed we also went to other places like Oxford Street but seriously, can't remember much:)

Till next time, adios day in London! Off to Paris pulak early the next day. Bonjour...!:)

London (Part 3)

Hi,

I'd better do this very quickly, lest I lost the will and the time that I have right now to updat this travelogue. Adehh...punya la lama nak habiskan kan? My bad, I apologise.

OK, We're done with the jalan-jalan part on first day. Forgot to mention that towards end of that first day, we went to Oxford Street cause I need to get to Primark to get a proper autumn jacket. Got one at GBP22. So happy:)

Anyways, let's see if memory serves me well today. What did we do on the second day ekks? Oh ya, it was a Sunday, and my sister's friend who is working in London was free and wanted to show us around. At the same time, this day we were scheduled to ride on the London Eye as well as a cruise on River Thames. Well, actually it was a combo ticket which I bought while still in Malaysia. The info is here.

So after breakfast, we left the house and headed to Waterloo station to meet with Melvin. And after that, off with more jalan-jalan kota London ya:)






Sorry for the differing size and quality of the photos. Some are from my Blackberry, and some are from my camera. Ohh crap! Those BB ones are the ones already in my FB album. Ok ok after this I'll get them directly from the PC's soft copy ok? Tapi sekarang malas nak tarik balik and re-paste:)

We got on the London Eye around noon. It was gloomy throughout the day, total opposite of the day before when it was hot and bright. It drizzled thoughout the day also. So here are athe nice view from inside the capsule. Kalau gayat jangan naik ye:))



Can never be tired of this sight:)



On the way down.
After that, we walked some more as our cruise slot would be at 4.30PM. So in the meantime, we went to the Tower Bridge and walked along the Queen's Walk, and of course, took lots of photos.










Once we were done with Tower bridge, we made our way back to the London Eye area to go on our River Thames Cruise.







Then once we were done with the cruise, off we went in search for Hard Rock cafe at Park Lane. After that, we walked all the way to Knightsbridge to get to Harrodds. Unfortunately, it was already late evening and by the time we reached there, it was closed for the day:(








Lepas tu balik Willesden la....

Next day would've been the last full day in London for us, as the day after we were to depart to Paris pulak. To be continued ok:)

London (Part 2)

Hi all..

OK while I have the time (and most importantly, the will) to do this, I might as well do it now. Hmm... why do I feel that updating this space is now a chore? Don't get me wrong, I love this space of mine, and I know I have so many things to share, but there's that little voice that keeps whispering to me and says "to hell with your blog! Stop je la berblog nih!"..Errkkkss...

Hey.. Hey..apa ni? Mukadimah sudah lari... Ok back to the London story. Banyak benda nak cerita ni tau!

Anyways, we arrived on the evening of 2 September and stayed at Willesden. The nearest train station is Willesden Green, say about 15 minutes' walk away. It's on the Jubilee line (kaler grey). If you'd like to view the London tube map, it's here.

Woke up the next morning to a nice end-of-summer weather, a bit chilled but well, we were up and reluctantly about since even before dawn! Jetlag remember? Geram gak sebab body kata mau tido, tapi otak kata meh la bangun, meh la bangun..!

And here are the first photos I took of the view outside my bedroom window:



After we had breakfast (which we prepared ourselves at the spacious kitchen), we made our way out. Walked to Willesden Green station, bought our new Oyster card and get down to start using it. Destination: city centre. Maybe just photos and a bit of captions after this yeah? Dah malas nak cerita banyak-banyak hehehe...

Picadilly Circus! picadilly Circus is the starting point of Theatreland of West End. So you can see many plays here if you're into them Too bad I didn't catch any show,cause I know my travel partners aren't into those sort of thing:(.. To read more about Picadilly Circus ni, bacalah info kat Wikipedia ni ehhsss..:)

Lepak dulu kat situ. tapi, before that, we went into Lillywhites, a major sporting items store and I got myself a United jersey:). err..belum apa-apa pun lagi udah menyopping!

Then, jalan ke arah Trafalgar Square la pulak. Enjoy the pix!



Kalau takde gambar ni tak sah!! Hahahha...


This is the famous Nelson's Column by Trafalgar Square

And me with one of the lions surrounding it.



Oopss...banyak posing jer..hahahha..

It was indeed a verrryy nice sunny summer day. Panas menyucuk ke tulang, but still chilly at times. Perfect! We lepak there for quite a while. Had lunch at Jom Makan the Malaysian restaurant nearby. Then spent quite a while at Trafalgar Square, just enjoying the perfect summer weather and watching people. Bought a few things and ate (again!) them there.


Walked some more, and this is St. James' Gate. And that's my brother:)







Ok, those are the places we went to on the first day in London. The next day, pegi tempat lain (and also tempat yang sma) jugak..:)

To be continued ehhss..:)
