London bridge is falling down

Ok, last stop.

Datin ask buat apa pergi banyak banyak tempat, dah lah pergi jer lah satu tempat then balik. But its so rugi if you go Paris then you tak go London, and if you go Amsterdam then tak pergi Paris.

For SGD120 you can travel from Paris to London for 2.5 hours. Kan rugi kalau tak pergi. And bila lagi nak pergi kalau tak masih sihat and time kocek penuh. So we just go.

I declare London my favourite so far. English is their first language. Tired of playing charade in Paris, I act ngan muka muka pun si mat french tu tak paham. Ketawakan orang lagi, si laki pun satu, suka tengok kebodohan bini dia terserlah. My advice pls learn a little french kalau nak gi Paris. Very useful.

Ok back to London,  we stayed at King Cross area, the most haprak suburbs but only 5 mins walk from the station. We likey coz after 2 countries, I was unable to pull spidey and my aching shoulder could gave way anytime. We prebook the hotel earlier in Paris.

We slack jack on our first day. Then at night time we go jalan jalan take the red bus go rounding rounding. 2nd day niat di hati nak go Stonehenge and see the the change of guards but due to ding dong bell, the agent screw up our booking. We got our refund back in FULL.

So since dah tak boleh tengok the batu bata we decide to check out Bicester Village and spent the entire afternoon day there. Bicester village is tempat shopaholic go gila, outlet shopping. Much much cheaper that what you can find in Singapore. For full listing click here. You need to take a train from central London, which takes ard 1.5 hour. I suggest you bring a big bag so dat you can humban all the things inside ur bag, jadi balik naik train tak ader yg tercicir. Semua benda the husband suruh dump inside the bag, kalau paper bag besar boleh humban dalam bag, dia pun dia suruh humban.

We watch the change of guards the next day, check the schedule first before you drop by Buckingham palace. The changing of the guard happens at 11:30am, May through August. The frequency is reduced to alternate days from September to April. Naik tube and alight at Green Park.

We walked around Buckingham palace and went to the Hyde park, where we took lots of pictures.

We then proceed to Westminster, to see the famous Big Ben and London eye. But the strike grab out attention.

Next we crawl to trafalgar square sebijik mcm kat universal studio Singapore siap ngan patong Singa dia lagi

Madam Tussaud

Next we drop by Riply believe it or not.

Kalau kat London kena naik bus merah

Beatles song used to be my lullaby, the dad is an avid fan of beatles and Jimi Hendrix from the Woodstock eras. So London is where my dad benefits the most. We bought him vinyls and t-shirts and others souvenirs. We intended to go to the famous abbey road tapi no time, dah malam, but the man promise one day we will take an exact posed at that zebra crossing

Portebello Market and Camden Market is my favourite place, wait I think I prefer the former. Menggila habis. When I was younger, I watch this show 'Bedknobs and broom stick' and they sang about Portebello Market. Its exactly how they describe that place. Pple sing and dance together, lots of buskers and cool stuffs. Buy all your souvenior here, much much cheaper

Food wise its easy to get halal food in London, just be prepared to pay for SGD30 for a plate of fried rice.

At HMV, we the man bought all his CDs and DVDs. Their box DVD was so much cheaper than in Singapore. Apa lagi grab ah.

Kalau go London tak gi Harrold mana sah. Tapi kita sampai ajer dia dah tutup. Tu lah lembab sangat jalan.

Honey across the moon Part 2 - Eiffel I'm in Love

Nest Stop was PARIS. 4 Days 3 Night.

We have prebook our euro rail tickets from Amsterdam to Paris via Thalys. Comfortable 3hours train ride, which we spent most of the time sleeping. Its the weather lah. Mengantok kan.

IYes agreed, Paris is the city of love, but its damn filthy can. Its littered with dog shit. Geli I, but the man, sigh... tak rugi lah cuci mata kat sana and shopping, double sigh.... tak rugi lah jalan berkilo kilo meter nak go to the kedai.

We stayed at this gorgeous hotel, 10 minutes walk from the Gare du nord train station. But with the language breakdown and the penat and the very very berat bag pack and the uneven road that make it difficult to pull black spidey and the frequent 'Jalan sana' 'Tak sana' 'You tengok lah map betol betol' 'I dah cakap jalan sana' we took almost close to an hour. Luckily, we were directed by a Will Smith look a like who is fluent in English. Nice nice guy, sampai kat depan hotel lah member bawak. Dapat pahala budak ni. Mar had warned that Paris hotel room are all so tiny. I have to agreed with her on that.

We were totally flat once we hit the bed. We woke up to grab a bite, do you know that most shopping centre in Paris closed on Sunday. Ye betol. Sunday tutup kedai. So kita jalan jalan amik gambar.

We went to many many flea markets. My heaven. Paris is a fan of fleas. Alot of flea market I tell you. And we grab the best kebab in the entire trip from the fleas.

Eiffel tower was gorgeous. To save money, and to escape the long q, we climb the stairs to go to the 1st floor. Tercungap cungap I babe, dah lah sejuk, mcm nak tercabut nyawa naik, I was nagging at the man 'For additional 4 euros kita dah sampai dah agaknya, dah beratus gambar kita amik' Once we reached the 1st floor we spent the next 20 mins seating in silence, no talking, no whispering, total peace. Tangkap nafas.

To those intendeed to visit Eiffel, I advice you prebooked your ticket. Book your ticket here.

We also visited the Moulin Rouge. I always thought that it was much bigger. We got a sneak peak of all the girls. Betol betol mcm citer moulin rouge with their make ups and can can.

The next day, we went to Nortre Damn, you know the hunchback of Notre Damn. I called out for him but on the day we visited him, he was off.

Next was the lourve. Where Tom hanks and Audrey Tou Tou acted in The Davinci's code.

We proceed to walk down the gorgeous gourgeous plain around the area.

Monday was Shopping Day, LV and long champ cost so much less there. FYI, one person was only allowed to buy 1 LV bag and a wallet. The man's fren kirim a LV speedy for his tunang's dulang. I intended to buy one for datin, but since the model was not available at Champ Elysee, we were asked to go down to Gallery Lafayette. I fell in love with delightful. Baru lah nak lonjat kegembiraan when the sales person mentioned with a very strong accent, 'Sorry mademoiselle, 1 passport, 1 bag' Huh?  That bad ah they control their bags. These french people are weird. So girls if you plan to go Paris and intend to buy LV, kalau ader orang nak kirim bag, tell them 'Kirim Salam'

and u'll lose it big time if  failed to try to extremely delicious Laduree Macaroon while in Paris.

Next.... London!!!!
