My highlights of 2014 was my family trip to London.Before ending 2014, the whole family has plan to travel to London.
The first picture I took when i reach there.
We took off from Malaysia in the early morning.
The whole family reached at Heathrow Airport, London during the night. We rent a house instead of staying in the hotel. It is said to be cheaper.
Streets of London
The weather was cold and very comfortable for me.Except for the windy part though. The first day was we went traveling around the city of London. I love walking around the streets as there were a lot to see and buy. Easy to find for halal foods as they are lot of Arabs restaurant and Malaysian restaurants as well.
The Big Ben
Actually,this was my second time being at London but back then it was in 1997 when I'm still an infant. Here we go, the Big Ben. Traveled there by using the bus. For the first time to see up close the iconic building. Big Ben is the the hour bell of the Great Clock of Westminster. The most famous bell ever cast at Whitechapel. It is to be of one of the oldest monument in London. But I didn't really see it up close. I was at a ferry but it was the closest to look up Big Ben. It was a fun experience though using the ferry.
Stonehenge
Then, we travel the country side. This area is called Stonehenge. It was extremely windy and cold as it blew my hair and causes bad hair day. This monument is by far one of the most attracted monument in United Kingdom. Stonehenge has been estimated that it has three phases. Each phases requires more than thirty million hours of labor. Thats a long hour for big rocks. Speculation on the reason it was built range from human sacrifice to astronomy.
Apple Market
One of the famous market at the heart of London. Traveling around London by just walking simply is better than walking around Malaysia as London is cooler. Shopping over there is rather cheap and theres a lot of choices to buy. There are a lot of section in this market. They sell various item such as arts and crafts, antiques and curios that are located in the Covent Garden Market section. The market is very clean and well managed and its comfortable to shop there. Theres also a lot of performance that are shown by unique performers with their unique talents.
Madame Tussauds
Here I am at the London Madame Tussauds. Where all well known people being a wax figure. We travel there using the bus. Also a great experience using their transport service. It was my first to be there and also my first wax museum to visit. I get to see a lot of big stars from around the world up close but in a wax figure of course. Madame Tussauds is one of the oldest wax museum around the world. Theres a lot branches around the world.
Edinburgh
This area is called Edinburgh. We travel there using the bus.
It was a cold day and windy too. In this picture, you'll see the famous Edinburgh Castle. Sadly we got limited time over there as we were rushing. So we only went for the castle only. Edinburgh has a lot of attraction as well such as St. Giles Cathedral, Real Mary King's close and Museum of Scotland. Its a very peaceful area and quit. Not like the busy city of London. Took us almost two hours to reach there from London.
Emirates Stadium
The most favorite part of London was the Emirates Stadium, home of my favorite football team, Arsenal. It was only about 15 minutes from our place. Took a rental car to get there.
I was happy that we got here. The only stadium we been in England. Stadium Emirates is by far one of the most famous stadium in London. I was very lucky to be there. Sadly, the team wasn't there as they traveled to Southampton for their upcoming match.
After two weeks, we finally coming back to home Malaysia. It was a great experience with my family. Had fun there too. London is a good place to travel. I recommend all of you to travel there. Once again, thanks for reading and wishes you all a great day.
