Travel : Reminiscing London & Paris June 2009

Kita ingat negara kita ni tak maju... tapi ada hikmahnya kita lambat... tengok laa train mereka ni dah tua.... This is in Paris.

The roller yang warna kelabu (depan the screen) is the mechanism to choose the options on the screen... I was like ...smiling.... blur sekejap macamana nak choose memula. This is the machine to top up the card. I sudah lupa apa nama card kat paris ni.

 Tak silap this is on the ferry cruise and the building at the back is the Notre dame de Paris.

 We were excited when we first saw the Eiffel tower. Tapi kita malas nak beratur panjang2.... so kita lepak sajalah kat garden sini and makan kuaci.... sambil tengok budak2 main bola sepak. Memang terasa macam best betul summer in Paris....

 At the back is the "Monalisa" potrait. Boleh tengok dari jauh sajalah because they put barrier.... The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre), tapi masa aku pergi tu aku cuma tahu kat dalam ni ada potrait monalisa so I must go. Tatau lain2 info. Tak cukup masa buat homework sebelum pergi...... Tapi bila dah sampai sana, there are a couple of things that you will discover..yang dulu baca jer, now di depan mata. Siapalah yang tak excited kan? You want to be there for hours and hours...

 The most expensive kebab.. Tak silap, Euro17 (x 4 berapa da tu?) Tapi I memang tak pernah rasa kebab best macam ni lagi. Kedai ni di belakang shopping2 center near the LV boutique.

Oklah, for a cheap accomodation, it is comfy. The owner is muslim. And we stay in a muslim majority area. So banyak makanan halal.

Kalau tak silap i , ini dalam Westminster Abbey. I was intrigued by London sebab dulu2 masa kecil suka baca buku novel and they describe the place like it was the best place you should be.

 Ni verandah in the hotel (or hostel) in Paris. Very nice and cheap.

Westminster Abby. Bolehlah imagine apa yang kita baca dalam sejarah sistem2 raja dulu kala tu bila dah witness sendiri peninggalan2 sejarah tu. Ada yang kata tak boleh masuk church... tapi niat tu kena pasang betullah ya.....

Tak susah rupanya nak naik tube. The first station we stop, keluar ikut orang2 lain yang berpusu2, tetiba, eh..... terus nampak ni...MasyaAllah... (sebenarnya nampak buruk sangat..... macam bertahun tak di cat atau di jaga, tetapi sebab london ni synonym dengan big ben, so memanglah kena tengok sendiri kan...)

 

The best experience is attending the shakespeare open theatre "Romeo & Juliet" at the Shakespeare's Globe. Kawan2 aku tak minat, so I booked online for myself, pergi naik train sendiri (ahh seronoknya rasa macam dah bertahun2 hidup kat London haha) dan tu la first time aku pergi theatre. I loss my theatre virginity in London, glamer sangat! haha!

I thought that was my first and last trip to London, I was thinking jadiklah kan teringinnnn sangat pergi London, dapat juga seumur pergi, mana tahu Allah rancang lagi bagus... Tahun depannya, ada pulak business trip to London........and Brighton. Alhamdulillah for the chances Allah.
