1st day london to bath to bristol
picked up the car with tm n fadli..had a bit of a problem at first, no gps and was charged a different price, not as agreed before...but what to do...dah amik kereta, p isi minyak and picked up the rest of the crew...then p beli gps, tak sanggup guna map or phone punya gps....
the travel to bath was ok...around 2 hours...sampai bath around tengahari kot...parked the car n then jalan2..cantik gak bath..went to the roman bath...bought some food at marks food and had a picnic...jalan2....naik boat kat bath nye sungai....drove to bristol...checked in at travelodge... went out for dinner.... cheh pening2 mlm tu n muntah sebelum dinner...ended up eating at a kedai kebab...n then balik tdo..not bad for a first day
Day 2 Bristol to tintagel castle to lands end to st austell
We woke up early the next day...drove to tintagel (around 2 and a half hours)...its a very nice place in cornwall...parked the car and walked to Tintagel Castle (legendary birth place of arthur)...the view was superb..it was like on a clift tepi laut kan...so cantik giler...After lunch we drove to Lands End, and man, this was like the worse experience of driving i ever had...the gps brought us to a road, damn it, was so sempit, n not like a road, macam dia potong bukit buat jalan je, i cant even explain, should have asked the others to take pictures..but i dont think anybody was thinking of taking pictures coz the road was like so damn sempit, siap kena brenti utk bagi laluan to other cars, n the jalan plak mcm tanah je..kesimpulannya, daym... (thats like how many lines of explaining how bad the road was, daym)... luckily after a while, ada jalan lain that the gps brought us to... n After like 2 3 hours of driving and rasa macam tak sampai2, we reached Lands End (Tempat yg paling hujung kat england, paling hujung south ke east ke aku pun tak ingat, paling east kot).... spent a few hours there...then drove to st austell travelodge, the travel was around an hour or two...
Day 3 Eden project to Stonehenge to London
We went to the Eden Project around 9 plus kot.... What is the Eden project?...In my own words i would just say rupa dia mcm a few golf balls yg besar2 yang dalam dia ada pokok2 n bunga2...cantik gak la.......Dalam kul 1 gerak ke stonehenge...on the way, jam giler,maybe coz next day tu org smua stat kerja balik, so mcm jam la coz org balik bandar dari kampung, ala mcm kalau raya kat msia...dah give up dah mula2 coz stonehenge tutup kul 6, so mengikut estimated time of arrival kat gps, memang tak sempat.... but what we didnt know was that stonehenge tu dari jalan kat luar lagi dah boleh nampak...luckily ada org sedar...so we when we saw it, we drove towards it, and eventhough it was closed, atleast boleh nampak and amik gambar dari luar pagar...so ok gak la...
Then drive balik london....sampai dalam kul 10.30 mlm kot...makan2 kat rumah... nina, aunty n fadli balik...n then tido...tido skejap je 12-3.45...Day 4 London to Liverpool to Nottingham
We woke up early, around 3.45...siap2...then me, cheh, doctor n TM drove to Liverpool...the main agenda in Liverpool was to go to Knowsley Safari Park...On the way i was so sleepy so we had to stop a few times...ada skali tu brenti, then i tertdo like an hour, bangun, then trus drive ke liverpool..reached the safari around 10.30 kot...bes gak this place...its a drive through safari, so the animals were actually jus outside the car...bes2...especially masa the lions and baboons...
After a few hours at the safari, we went to Anfield, untuk TM, coz the last time she went it was closed....after that we had lunch and jalan2 kat area St George's hall and Albert Dock...Lepastu... drive ke Nottingham...tido kat studio doctor....
Day 5 Nottingham to Oxford to London
Woke up around 5.30...Started driving to Oxford at around 6...reached there around 8.30 i think... jus did sum sightseeing... tgk some famous landmarks in oxford such as the Sheldonian Theatre, St Mary's Church and other places... masuk the Bodleian Library...had lunch in the car...jalan2 skit...then gerak balik London.....
Conclusion
A nice 5 day trip...covered lots of places...maybe next time i'll write about my road trip to scotland, the road trip before this one...
