UK trip 17 - 24th July 2009

macam malas jer nak menaip.. :) in summary - uk tgh summer, but it rains everyday, and sejuk kat luar tu lebih sejuk drpd aircond TM Annexe.. it's a beautiful place, banyak historical places & buildings.. shopping best!! but food mahal.. that's all, the rest tgk gambar kay..

day 1 - attended my sis' convo at southampton.. frm left : syazana (my youngest sister), me & aisya, nurul (the one who graduated) and the rest is family friends.. with the kurung & kebaya only, we're all freezing!

my sis wif her bestfriend, maya.. CONGRATS u ols!

day 2 - from southampton, we headed to winchester, a cute city wif lots of historical building.. pictures shown below is The Cathedral Church.. very the besar one!

then, we headed to Wolvesey Castle, which is about 15 minutes walking distance from the cathedral.. castle ni owned by a bishop long long time ago.. dah runtuh banyak, so what left is only the basic structure..

on the way back, we stopped at the High Street, Winchester.. there are loads of shops having Sales but unfortunately the shops closed at 6pm.. even we ols kena halau from kedai Clarks, so makcik tak nyempat nak beli apa2 pon..

kat sini memang ramai gile tourist & local people.. semua bz shopping..

everytime penat, this is a must go place - starbuck! sbbnya ada toilet and kopi yg sedap.. the coffee price not much differ from our price when converted to RM, for example vanilla toffee frapucino costs us around 3.40pound (grande).. with the disount card, we have it at 2.70pound.. so, lebih kurang harge sini jela..

from the high street, we walked back to the carpack to have our packed lunch - nasi goreng & keropok.. after top-up the car parkticket, we walked to this place (lupa nama), where there's king arthur's round table.. sampai je situ dah 5pm, and the hall is supposed to close.. seb baik 'king arthur' baik, bagi kitorang snap a few pictures of the round table..

ni dah nak balik ke car park, stranded dalam hujan, so lepak jap bawah this small bridge.. as usual, when it comes to raining, Aisya yg paling risau.. just look at her face, dah takleh nak smile.. he he

day 3 - from soton, we headed to north of London, our destination is Manchester.. my bro dah contact member dia so kitorang dapat accomodation free kat situ, thanks to my bro's friends! actually we dropped by at Oxford, but all pictures taken hilang sbb my sis' memory card went kong! terkilan sgt sbb Oxford is a very beautiful old town.. :(

day 4 - we tour the Manchester city including Old Trafford stadium, cuaca cantik, tak hujan.. but see the cloud, sangatlah nak hujan.. (hari2 hujan deh)

we were among the first guess at the Old Trafford stadium, that day ManU team ada kat Mesia, kitorang plak kat ManU stadium.. he he

bought some souvenirs from the souvenir shop.. i managed to get myself a ManU keychain with my name on it (eventhough takdela fanatic bola pon).. look at muka Aisya yg bosan sbb kedai ni takde princess2 thingy..

after Old Trafford, we went to the city center..

ni kat Sports Direct, Arnsdale (the shopping mall).. ala-ala Al-Ikhsan but very2 big.. i bought a pair of crocs for Faris at 13pound.. not bad kan walaupon ada time yg bleh dapat cheaper price.. i also grabbed a few more kids' clothes sbb murah amat..

ini tak ingat nama apa, mcm eye of manchester la kot.. hehe.. lalu jer, tak naik pon..

this is the Manchester's Cathedral.. we ols siap masuk lagi dalam ni.. saja nak experience..

ok dah nak balik coz penat.. that day we tapau nasi goreng & kue teow goreng from Rice, a halal stall recommended by a friend.. so-so jela the taste, but since lapar and mahal (4-5pound per meal), kitorang makan gak sampai habes.. he he

before balik rumah, we decided to go to Cheshire Oak, branded outlet yg besar amat.. but since our hands are fully occupied with shopping bags, not a single photo was taken.. :) my sis Syazana yg paling banyak borong (or was it me?) murah amat, i grabbed a lot of kids' clothes (again).. GAP sweater for Aisya = 9pounds, and for Faris = 6pounds.. jeans Pumpkin Patch Aisya = 5pounds.. seronok sangat.. this is a must go place if you go northern of london!

ok for now.. will upload more photos later.. renyahla nak upload.. ke ada tactic lain? hu hu
