.:Europe trip:. Final Episode ~ the journey home
|
|
Tepat 5.30 a.m taxi dah menunggu dpn hotel
Sampai di airport sungguh awal, better early than late
Ronda airport sat then check in
Alhamdulillah no flight delay
Rupanya waiting area lepas check in lebih happening
Kedai punya byk, Starbucks Q pjg
Mariam akhirnya beli a Ted Baker handbag
and I bought a MAC lipstick & Victoria Secret pencil case (hasil pengaruh Mariam)
The flight back is full with mostly M'sian
Sad to say this time mabuk..huhu...
14 hrs yg sungguh tak best! 
In the end we arrived safely in LCCT..alhamdulillah
This trip has been a REAL family adventure and is the BESTest trip ever sebab:
1. sendiri buat all the bookings & ittenerary
2. googling all the details on every eatery & attraction
3. sudah merancang hampir 2 tahun

.:Europe trip:. Ep. 10: Central Park Hotel to Days Inn
|
|
Hari ni relax sikit sbb no rush going anywhere
We're just gonna change to another hotel near Stanstead Airport
sebab esok our flight back to KL is at 8.30 a.m
After breakfast kat hotel and check out
We slowly walk to the underground station
Sebelum tu bergambar dulu depan hotel
Singgah sat di Finsburry Park depan hotel & took pictures
Putih sungguh park tu sbb baru lepas heavy snow
The plan was to head to Tottenham Hale Station
Alhamdulillah kali ni the underground line is working
Then again, kita hanya merancang...
Sesampai di station mana ntah, the train stopped
Mula2 tu tunggu juga kot dia start moving again
Tapi after quite sometime tak jugak gerak & people started going out pi cari bus
Heret la luggages pi tanya orang mana nak naik bas ke Tottenham Hale
Bas pulak penuh ..sungguh la hazab dgn kebasahan + kesejukan + luggage berat
Sungguh dugaan
Sampai Tottenham Hale terus naik train ke Stanstead Airport (train ni pasang aircond..what the..??  )
From airport plannya naik coach ke Days Inn Stansted (4pounds/person)
Namun kita hanya merancang...
Tunggu punya tunggu tak sampai2, sungguh nak mengamuk
Kaki dah rasa separuh beku sbb dok tunggu outside the cold
Then call the hotel, dia ckp around tghari will be another bus tapi haremmm
Akhirnya we decided to take cab
And it's much more cheaper from the coach (12 pounds/4 person)
The room at Days Inn sungguh moden & bigger compared to Central Park Hotel
Made arrangements for tomorrow's breakfast & a cab to pick us up at 5.30 a.m
Belakang Days Inn ada mcm like R & R yg ada supermarket & KFC
Dinner was frozen veggie fried rice yg sungguh tak sedap
KFC tak halal la pulak
Belasah saja la apa yg ada..balik mkn maggi terakhir
Esok balik..yeayy yeay 
Note: All hotel bookings were made via AA website

.:Europe trip:. Ep. 9 : Paris cancelled, Hello Oxford Street
|
|
Seawal 6.30 a.m dah menunggu kat underground station
heading to St Pancras International Station
Due to the bad weather we had to cancelled our day trip to Paris
Kalau ter'stuck' kat Paris, cemana nak balik??
Sungguh frust tapi kita hanya merancang...
So, dlm kegelapan pagi2 buta tu nak tuju ke mana?
We decided nak pi cari Big Ben
Keluar2 saja Westminster Station tu...ek eeehhh..Big Ben betul2 kat belakang
and it's snowing blh tahan jugak la
Dlm kegelapan pagi tu we are the only one sane enough to be taking pictures there 
Nak menapak ke London's Eye rasa tak sanggup sbb jln penuh snow + sejuk
Lepak dlm underground station sat & head off to Oxford Street (yiehaaa  )
Memandangkan kedai belum bukak lg (btw, it's 8.30 a.m) we all lepak minum2 dlm Starbucks until 9.30 a.m
Then, stroll along Oxford St tgk mana2 kedai yg bukak terus masuk
Clothing memang out sbb semua jual winter wear
Bags lawa tp agak pricy and kalau ada pun sama ja mcm harga kat M'sia so tak berbaloi
Akhirnya masuk Primarks (Maidin London hehehe) & borong sakan!
Memang lama lepak dlm Primarks ni beli mcm2
I bought boots, a purple throw for my sofa and a sling bag yg sungguh murah
Jamu mata lagi sepanjang Oxford Street, berkenan gila dgn home deco kat sana
Tapi bila memikirkan payah nak angkut naik flight, so sabar saja la
Cosmetics & perfumes seriously cheap ditanbah dgn Christmas sale
Ntah la kali ni iman sungguh kuat, so tak beli pun
Agak2 dah letih menapak, terus tuju ke Bayswater utk lunch merangkap dinner
Makan dikedai yg sama dengan menu yg sama 
Yg penting, sedap & kenyang
Balik hotel utk kemas2 barang sbb esok we are going to check in another hotel
Note: Travelling around London is no problem with efficient underground train. Very frequent, just study the map and make sure u know where u're going. Gerenti tak sesat.

.:Europe trip:. Ep. 8 : Windsor, Stonehenge & Bath
|
|
We booked this day trip beforehand via Airasia website
So very very very early in the morning we headed out to Victoria Coach Station
Bought some breakfast while waiting for the bus (Evan Evans Tour)
Luckily dlm bus ada heater so sungguh nyaman rasanya
1st stop was Windsor Castle and the wind was blowing really hard
Pagi2 lagi dah payah nak senyum dlm gambar haihh..
Dulu tgk istana maharaja China di Forbidden City, now tgk inside an English castle
and you can see the differences of both cultures
And I can understand now why they say English men are such gentleman
Next stop was Stonehenge yg terletak ditgh2 padang
and tiba2 ek ehhh tercongok ada batu2
It was totally not like what I expected 
This time angin sejuk sungguh kuat sbb it was completely padang yg kosong and no trees
Hidung sudah merah & sometimes kena jln backwards melawan angin
Gila susah nak senyum & kalau senyum pun amat fake sekali
We went around the stones and took pictures
Last stop was Bath, it's one of the beautiful cities that I've seen
From a far I can see the houses scattered over the mountains
It was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987
We went in the Roman Bath & walked around the Christmas market outside
Had a quick lunch of fries and hot tea at Burger King + bekal megi goreng
By this time, hari pun dah nk gelap
Moh kita pulang
Alhamdulillah another successful day 
Note: Day trip via AA website = RM315/person (including entry frees for all attractions)

.:Europe trip:. Ep. 7: Around the city of London
|
|
Seawal 8 a.m sudah bertolak keluar hotel
and it's SNOWing!  (semua marah ayah sbb dia yg beria mintak ada snow hehe )
Mujur dah prepare bawak payung siap dari M'sia
Dlm hati dok pikir cemana nak jln2 nih kalau dah snow hmm...
So, 1st stop kita ke Primarks utk shopping gloves and winter jackets
Kebetulan pilih utk stop di Marble Arch Station
Keluar saja station..wallaaa Primarks terbentang dpn mata
Serius murah dgn kualiti yg ok
Target utk beli winter wear ja, so yg lain tak belek dah
I bought gloves for myself, jacket + gloves for ayah, winter jacket + gloves + boots for Mariam and gloves + boots for mama
Sungguh rambang mata tgk winter coats kat Primarks
Lebih mkn hati bila lebih murah dari yg dibeli di C&D, Amsterdam (sabar ja la).
Lepas shopping, terus pakai siap2 and headed to HOHO bus office
We opt for Original tour (tp not recommended lah sbb bus dia tak frequent)
1st stop was the Tower Bridge
Turun depan London's Dungeon & jln2 mencari dimanakah Tower Bridge itu
Snow yg turun sudah stop & started to melt & the road was slippery & the wind was blowing (a not so good combination)
Akhirnya jumpa! Snap2 gambar & singgah beli souvenirs
Next stop was Buckingham Place
And it snowed again here
Sungguh susah utk senyum time ni
From Buckingham, another drama pulak bila melilau mencari bus stop tak jumpa
Dah la kelaparan belum lunch + snowing + sejukkkkk + tunggu bus punya la lama tak sampai2 
By the time naik bas, hari dah start nak gelap (it was nearly 4 p.m)
Sepatutnya nak singgah Big Ben & London's Eye
Tapi snow makin lebat, so dpt tgk dari dlm bus saja la 
Changed plan, so kita pi lunch merangkap dinner kat Bayswater
Niatnya nak pi cari M'sian Hall tp tak jumpa pulak
So, mkn kat a Lubanese restaurant ja
Mujur ada nasi..legaaaa
Lepas dinner terus balik hotel tapi agak terkilan sbb tak dpt jln byk tempat because of the bad weather
Bukan rezeki kami...
Rezeki kami ialah pengalaman baru yg sungguh tak blh lupa
Note: HOHO bus = 25 pound/person
Dinner = 40 pound/4 person

.:Europe trip:. Ep. 6: Farewell Holland, Welcome London~
|
|
Finally, phase 1 of the trip is over
It's time to say goodbye to Holland.
Such nice people especially our host, Ronie
Terima kasih menyediakan mknn yg sedap + tempat tidur yg amat2 selesa + layanan yg superduper class utk kami sekeluarga
Our flight to London was at noon, so pagi2 lepas breakfast mee grg yg sedap kami bertolak keluar.
Ronie hantar sampai Centraal ja, then we head to Schipol naik train
Flights traveling around Europe pun punya la strict the checking
After cop passport, a big dog awaits us, mujur takdak apa2
Then, scanning pulak, jackets, belts, shoes semua kena bukak haihh 
In Stanstead, the REAL journey begins sbb semuanya hasil googling around months before.
The original plan was to buy an oyster card, but the counter at the airport didn't sell the card, instead they recommend us with a 7 day travel card.
So, we decided to buy the oyster card at the tube station.
The plan was to take the Stanstead Express train to Tottenham Hale Station.
Then, from Tottenham Hale Station we have to change to a tube and stop at Finsburry Park Station.
Kita hanya merancang,
when we arrived at Tottenham Hale Station, the tube was not working because they're under maintainance ( aaaaa..sudah!)
Udahla cuaca amatlah sejuk ditambah dgn mengheret luggage yg berat.
Serius rasa takleh nak pikiaq (tp kena la jugak kan ..)
So, we had to ask around and the station master told us to buy a 7 day travel card that can be used either on the bus or tube
We hopped on a bus and headed to Seven Sisters
From Seven Sisters, mencari tube station ke Finsburry Park
Alhamdulillah Encik Google Map amat membantu,
No problem finding our hotel, sejibik mcm dlm google map.
After checking in, sudah letih nk keluar mkn
Tp gagahkan juga keluar kat kedai dpn and bought some food stock (bread + juice)
Then singgah KFC beli dinner
Alhamdullillah, kebetulan area hotel tu ada fast food halal (KFC & Subway)
Note: Stanstead Express - Tottenham Hale Station (return tix) = 26.50 pound/person
7 day travel card = 30.20 pound

.:Europe trip:. Ep. 5: Madame Tussaud & Amsterdam Cruise ~
|
|
We finished our countryside excursion around 2.30 p.m
So, we decided to head for the 1hr river cruise
we got FOC tickets sbb beli byk tour trips
After 30mins dah jadi agak boring sbb tgk benda yg sama ja + sudah penat
Exactly 3.30 p.m berlarian ala2 Amazing Race ke Maddame Tussaud sbb ingatkan tutup at 4 p.m
Because our tickets are for off peak time
Letih takyah ckp la + sejuk
Mujur the line wasn't that long
Bila naik naik lift kat Madame Tussaud, everyone was smilling again
Note: Madame Tussaud off peak = 16 euro/person
100 Hightlight Cruise = 13 euro/person
