Bits of England

We rented a car, Volkswagen Golf TDI and drove from Caledonian Road to Amesbury. And again, nak kena rempuh traffic jam tgh2 London. Milan pulak menrengek2 tak suka the car seat, because she can't see the view outside. I guessed she got bored.

We reached Amesbury Travelodge at almost 7pm. Bagi Milan makan, and makan apa2 yang ada. Terus tido.

The next morning, we checked out and had our breakfast at the nearby restaurant, Little Chef. Then, went to Stonehenge. We arrived at 9am and the entrance will only open at 9.30am. So, we waited in the cold misty morning. Dah tangkap2 gambar semua we moved up north towards Birmingham. Stopped by few places. No particular place of interest. Just drive along the way and if nampak any signboard "English Heritage", we stopped.




Arrived at Birmingham, Frankley Services Travelodge. Hujan lagi. Those two days memang hujan non-stop. Whole day pulak tu. Dahlah sejuk. We arrived quite late there too. Thought of going to Botanical Garden but it was closed at 4.30pm. We then went to Tesco to look for Milan's formula. Bolehkan, stok susu tak cukup. Actually, i brought quite a lot but she drank a lot too. Maybe sebab makan tak tentu masa and cepat haus / lapar sebab cuaca sejuk. We couldn't find Progress Gold so the daddy bought SMA. Waaa...Milan tak suka! She didn't drink any milk sampailah we reached Bahrain. Mogok lapar!

The next day we went to Liverpool and Manchester. I'm not a football fan though. Follow je lah. In the Liverpool Football Club's souvenir shop, the daddy asked "anything for u?". Alamak, macam mana? Satu haram pun tak tau pasal Liverpool Club. Beli je lah a T-shirt, yang logo Liverpool nya agak samar2.

Milan pulak was so excited to see the ball. Kecoh satu kedai because she keep on saying "ball...ball" loudly. Same thing happened in MU merchandise shop in Manchester. Siap nangis ok sebab i letak balik the ball.








Dah agak2 nak gelap, we had to move back to Birmingham. Tak sempat nak melawat Nur and family di Manchester.

The next day dah nak balik Bahrain. Flight at 8.25pm.

Checked out from the hotel at 8am. Along the way, sempat jugak stop dekat Kenilworth Castle, St Nicholas Park (nak masuk Warwick Castle, sangat lah mahal) and the last place was Oxford. Then straight to Heathrow.



Left our luggage at the airport and went to Sixt centre to return the car.

Then, took metro across the car rental centre, Hatton Cross. Ingatkan nak pegi jalan2 central London lagi. Tapi, rupa2nya ada maintenance. So, metro tak jalan direct. Kena stop dekat Boston Manor station, then ambik bus to Ealing Broadway. Tak pasal2 we all had lunch dekat Ealing town.

Around 5pm we went back to Heathrow, checked in and masuk boarding hall terus.

Eh, rupa2nya dalam Terminal 4 tu ada pulak Harrods. Tak sempat masuk Harrods kat London pun takpe, Harrods kecik ni pun jadilah. Sempatlah jugak kebas tote Harrods colour merah satu. That was my most 'expensive' purchase from London, at 27GBP!!!HAHAHA...
