London-Day 7

Hye....phewww....these took me forever, huh!

Yup, we're finally arrive on my final day in London. I hate this, but anyway, our flight is at 11pm, still, a long day to go ya...

Morning- a fresh view from our hotel. It is quite cold, but i love those...

Had a good breakfast at the hotel: bread, cereal & juice. Just nice!

iklan jap- below ad are everywhere. But i knew it, it wont arrive in Mesia. Gotta purchase it online if it is not even on sale in dvd outlets.

We checked out but leave our luggage at the hotel as everybody did. Good eh? lucky they can do that. And in short, i like the hotel: Al Hambra.

They got friendly staff, not-so-crowded hotel...probably will drop by here again.

First agenda of day: Petticoat Lane market
This is a Sunday market where I heard we can get some thrifty items.

So, we took tube from King's Cross to Aldgate station.

First, we need to purchase for the train to the airport.

then, here we are at the Aldgate

Just a short walk, then we're at the Petticoat Lane market The market. It is sumting like Petaling street i can say, only that it dont have those counterfeits. Cheap shirts..blouses..some new, some maybe 'bundle' gak kut. I love the leather jacket. If u wanna one, get it from here, wuite cheap, perhaps around 40 to 80pds, boleh bargain lagi.

Memang cantik gilos especially those in dark red..hmmm...I'd love to buy one, tapi takut the material rosak plak, coz of the temperature here. Plus daku dah nak balik, bila masa lak nak pakai, & furthermore, malas nya nak memberatkan my luggage..hmmm..some other time la...

Got cheap t-shirts for souvenirs. 10pds for 5....aint it cheap? borong la byk2...berat tul!
We dont explore the whole market. Looks like it sells clothing the most. Malas la nak survey. We move on to 'Spitalfields Market' instead. just a walking distance.

While on the way, we passed by this- the Women's Library

************

The Spitalfield Market
Borong gak la kat sini...they're cute!!

My fav shop!!

Lets see, what i got this time around (apart from the other day nyer shopping, hehe)

Other cuties from around the market

spending some of my last pennies here...in short, i love this market. p/s: i do bargain for those scarf down there, hehe...

We wanted to go to Baker Street.

So, from Spitalfields, we need to go to Liverpool St. tube station.

These are around the Liverpool St.

Our next destination...
This is where Madame Tussauds is located. Lots of souvenirs shops here. Nyopping souvenirs lagik...(last minute shopping, hehe).

You can take the London's hop on/off bus from here.

Ticket is valid for 24 hours, but i've forgotten the ticket's cost. Search the net please....

Purpose of going to Baker St.?

I wanted to go to Regent's Park.

Views on the way to Regent's Park. Notice Beatles store & Sherlock Holmes museum down there?

p/s-the park is on your right, the beatles store is on the left row.Bout 5 to 10mins walk, we're at the Park already.

Views from the entrace we took, cantik kan?

Enjoy those views

lovely friends

roses andits sprigs

the roses garden. imagine how it looks in spring

ow, i love the name...

-a just-bloomed tulips-

hmm..i really love the park, no question! will definitely bring the kids to experience those moment.

Well, dah jalan2..lepak2...then its time to leave..here, while waiting for tube (pic pun goyang) Back to hotel, pick-up our luggage & back to King's Cross again to fetch the train.

Something that i hate to do...but things need to go back to reallity now....

It was still early, around 5pm maybe.

Views on the way to airport
Upon arriving at the airport,

enjoying our coffees for the final moment.I hate this, really..do i need to do this? grrr...H cant wait to depart as he hated the weather. As for me, i love these, this is 'cool' hokey??..haha..

Our luggages-we exceed 8kg & need to pay 40pds for that, chaiss...

So, thats bout it. I hate leaving but still...sedeynya nak balik..well its a mix of hate & exciting, coz i know, we'll meeting our angels soon

We departed around 11.30pm on Sunday and arrive KL at 7.30pm Monday. It took us around 10hrs to reach KL.

We reach home safely at around 1opm & we went to Ipoh that nite itself at 12m/nite & reach there at 2.30am. What a tiring day!!

But we're ok, coz dah puas tido in the flight plus sudah jetlag. (But i dont sleep well in the flight- got regreted for not buying sumting..bencilahh!!!).

so..thats it!

(finally manage to complete the whole journey)

Paris/London-Day 6

And now, wanna share my last day in the City of Lurve....

-View from our hotel on that wet morning-

Its a wet morning, drizzling. So, we took quite awhile for breakfast.

Then, went to St.Lazare station, posing at this 'clocks'.

Actually, punya la byk taik burung at the clocks, nak diri dekat2 pun ngeri, so diri jauh2 sket from the clocks' tower.

****

Decided to went to 'Petit Palais', as i missed the chateau yesterday, huhu.

Views around the Petit Palais.

Wet morning in Paris

Where we exit from the metro.

muka pagi2

The Petit Palais

We're quite early, thus we Q for the billet for almost 1 hour. Good thing is, we're amongst in the front line. The museum opens only at10am..lambatnya..huhu..(we need to rush, as we'll be checking out today).

In the opposite is the Grand Palais

Petit Palais is where some of the royalty's collections are kept, tho its really not that much. But what i love most is the murals on the ceiling (is what i wanted to view-coz missed versailes yesterday).

Love the unique art. The grand dome.

other ceiling's
Other item which was kept there

..and love these too!...gotta lot pics of these i.e. antiques clocks, compasses, women's accessories, etc...& even the palace's garden. But i just cant upload those here. its really time consuming to do that, sorry.

*****

As soon as we complete the tour, rushed to the train station again to get back to hotel.

Called madame Anor for the last time. Too bad, we cant meet up. Of course, I need to rush for my checkout & Eurostar, and she's got her own schedule, with the kids, hubby etc..etc...

And me, I should've stayed another nite. 2 nites in Paris are nothing much, sighh...( a reason to get back here?? i guess, hehe)
So, madame...thanks for the souvenirs, makan-minum, tour de maison, for picking up us from Juvisy etc etc..really appreciate it. Thanks ya...nanti balik KL, lepak my house pulak, k...

*******

Around the underground train.

(note the ikea sofas?)
..and not forgetting, ada jugak keretaku kat Paris. In fact, the only japanese/asia car can be seen by us while we're there.

Back to St.Lazare/hotel & check out. Our train (Eurostar) is at 2.15pm.

Hmmm..i just hate carrying heavy lugagge...siksanya...berat giler sih...

It was just nice, when we reach Gare Du Nord. It was around 1.50pm when we passed the imigration , queing, etc...Have a drink at 1 of the cafe - nak abeskan duit euro.

Views from France to UK.

I was damn tired. Tried hard to be awake, just to enjoy France's final view. Apakan daya, at some point daku terlena jugak, eventho tido2 ayam, coz nak snap pics.

Bye Paris...really, it is a beautiful city.

It was all lovely, unique, very historic, plus awecome buildings.. with lovely thrifty items too.

No wonder it is the 'City of Lurve'.

(bye...dunno when I'll be here again..huhu)

***

Back to the journey,

if u're from London, whenever u see below barn, means u'd reach France already, hehe.

...It was around 3.30pm when we reach St. Pancras,London.

Better, as UK is 1 hour late than France.

St.Pancras is adjacent to King's Cross station (my mind pointing at monopoly straight away, then)

************

This is King's Cross station.

Views around King's Cross

Map of King's Cross. Our hotel is somewhere at Argyle St. Lucky it was not that far from the station.

Booked this hotel from Paris (what a last minute, huh!). Was around 75pds inclusive b/fast but with external b/room & washroom. No more room, so I cant ask for an upgrade. Bare that, hotels in these area are most of the time-full house, especially on weekends.

It was all relief the minute I'm able to check-in. Aduhh...rasa cam nak runtuh bahuku..adoyai..

*******

Relax awhile, before going out again to check on the area around us. Drop by at a luggage shop. Beli Samsonite seketul, as we really feel we need additional luggage..(mcm tak biasa..hehe)

Dinner at 1 of halal resto there.

-the menu-

-the food- (yummyy!!!!)

-lets share some coins-...

Night time: spend our final nite surveying London. Took tube to Westminster.

hmm..baru pukul 8.15pm..

Its raining..sojuk douwhh....

*****
la..amek pic dari tepi jalan je rupanya ye....

***

London County Hall
Then, we took tube to London Tower.
-The Tower Bridge-

Around Tower of London- the modern buidlings

Tower of London (very medieval rite?)

It was not many people around here tho it is just around 9pm. So, decided to get back & pack our things. Was quite a tiring day, but it was all worth it!

(pardon me, am too lazy to write)
