Edinburgh trip

I thought I won't be going to Edinburgh trip again since last year but this year, I get to go again. Yay! Anyway, this time I went with cousins. Friend of mine also came with us this time, making the number of us even.

Anyway, we took the night bus on Friday night and arrive in the morning. My friend, Osbert took a different bus as he came from Newcastle. It was really uncomfortable sleeping on the chair. I think I only got 3 hours of sleep. Nevertheless, I was fresh to walk about the town. There's some photos. I choose the ones I think should be alright. I didn't put everything cos mum don't want me to put her picture in.

Oh, I have completed mid air jumps photos. I will put those up in my future posts. Now, I will let the photos do the talking.

Castle in the background

Edinburgh castle in the background.

This was in the garden at our apartment.

Our group photo before the day really started.

We were playing who chewed and swallowed the grapes the fastest. I am not sure who won in the end cos I gave up and went off to take photos. Why we create the game is cos there were a lot of grapes and we needed to finish it.

We ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant and walked about for the rest of the day. The 4 adults went off shopping while the 6 of us went to Edinburgh Dungeon. I thought it was going to be very scary. I did close my eyes a few times though. Not really that scary.

We walked to our apartment which was like 40 minutes walk away from the city centre. It was such a long walk and carrying backpacks worn us all out. I am not sure who else cooked dinner but I know mum was in the kitchen the whole time cooking. We were all taking turns to shower while waiting for dinner. The apartment was really a nice place.

After dinner, we drank soft drinks using wine cups, making us look as if we were really drinking. Hehehe.. after that, some of us retire to bed while some of us sat there watching X Factor 2007, the finals. Then only we slept while talking when Jinn Yuan 'koko' called Sherp's phone. Just to talk cos he was bored. Hhm...

This is the apartment living room.

Final day in Paris

On the final day, we took our time getting up and ate breakfast. After that, the taxi driver came to pick us up to go to Disneyland Park where we can take the train to Val d Europe where we planned to shop for the day. Mum bought one jacket for me. Great, right? Then, the Wongs' family also bought some stuff for themselves. It's really nice to be shopping if only they have more sales.

Inside the train. Look who is new to the Wongs' family.

This was at the train station where we were to depart to London. It was really cold that night as the temperature was below 1 degree. We were waiting upstairs and there weren't any chairs for us to sit down waiting patiently.

We reached London at 10.30pm London time and reached home about 11.30pm. After a late dinner, we showered and went to bed. The next day, we got ready our stuff for our trip to Edinburgh that night. This was on Friday. We rest for a while that day. The bus ride was ok despite the uncomfortable chair and bad driving. I don't think I slept more than 3 hours. But we were still alright to walk about the whole day.

Anyway, I will upload some photos the next post.

Edinburgh

Taking the bus in the morning from Aberdeen to Edinburgh, we arrived there at noon. There was a fun fair around so we went there. I called it fun fair, don't really know what they called that fun place. The photo below was taken at night, that shows the fun fair which we went. It was so hard to take photos at night because the photos were either blurred or too dark. I guess Osbert is a good photographer. I'm a lousy photographer.

I'm not sure what is the thing behind me but we just took photos of it.

That was the train tracks in the background with the fun fair just beside it. The bus station is nearby a shopping centre, which is a good thing. For those people who are transitting here to go somewhere else later, they can just waste their time to shop. The train station is also nearby. This is good for us, as we walked around to see the castle and everything before heading to the train station to go to Newcastle.

This is Edinburgh.

This was taken at one of buildings that we passed. The mirror makes us almost the same tall. Cool le.. I'm not the shortest one anymore. Haha!
