My Unforgettable Nottingham Travel Stories

tq for reading!

this entry is meant for IMASTRAVEL contest, which runs till 15 April. 

Feel free to join!

Mommy, I wish we could have a C.A.R.A.V.A.N

kat UK ni it's common to see caravan--me pernah gak nampak few time caravan ni..kat Msia mcm tak de kot..

pic me google

then Zharfan ada ckp kat me , masa me fetch him from skool, dia kata "mommy, I wish we could have a caravan"...me rasa dia ada belajar kat skool kot psl caravan ni..then me ckplah, mahal la kalau nak beli caravan tu..and kita dh nak balik msia, so mcm mana nak bwk balik kan (sajer jer me bagi lame excuse gitu)..

then last few days, zharfan dgn penuh semangat telah melukis caravan...

siap dia lukis ada bed dlm caravan tu, one bed for each of us, and ada window, sinki, etc--dia memang sgt pasti what's called caravan and what's inside caravan tu...

time summer, ada jer holiday pakej yg boleh sewa caravan utk pegi holiday kat UK ni...beshh kan..tp summer last year me tak plan plak nak cuti2 naik caravan--summer thn 2011 weolls dh balik msia ....

tp kan, kalau kat Msia, me rasa maunya caravan ni kena pecah masuk, sbb byk crime kan...kat UK ni, crime rate is much lower than kat Msia...so tak sesuailah kalau ada caravan ni kat Msia..
and kat UK, memang ada disediakan tempat parking khas utk caravan ni kat tempat2 holiday yg strategik or popular, mcm camping sitelah kiranya...

note : me dh start countdown--ada 2 bln 10 hari ajer lagi me kat bumi UK ni...sedih plak nak tinggalkan 'alam fantasi' me kat UK ni..

Ada apa dgn Heathrow?

MZ dh nak balik Msia ker??

semlm me pegi Heathrow--pegi antar my niece naik flight nak balik Msia seteleah bercuti kat umah me selama sebln :)

Heathrow Airport ni terletak kat pinggir London, so from tempat me(Notts), weolls naik train sampai London city, then naik tube ke Heathrow Airport. Total journey lebih kurang 3 jam.

me kat Notts train station--my niece shopping tak hengat--dtg dgn 2 beg, balik dgn 5 beg tu!!

me & my niece (ada yg pernah tanya kat ruangan komen, tanya mana pic my niece ;)--tak seiras dgn me kot, sbb Ms Lolipop ni ikut muka ayah dia (my BIL). My niece ni student kat Univ Darul Iman (nama lama : KUSZA), she's doing law gak ni --note : hadiah my GA winners me kirim to my niece utk dipos dari Trg yer--giller lama me peram sbb sgt mahal kalau me pos dari UK :p

me balik ke Notts (alone--Mr Hubby & kids tak ikut ) naik bas ajer, sbb mls nak transit mcm OTW pegi (ie kena naik both tube+train)

besar ke Heathrow Airport tu? of courselah BESAR!! ada 5 terminal kesemuanya!! MAS departs and arrives kat Terminal 4 (T4). T4 ni kecik ajer, main terminals are T1-2.

syukur ada multi-faith room, so weolls solat jama' kat sini..me musykil, ada ker agama lain yg solat regularly daily mcm a Muslim does...?

me balik Msia 13 April nanti naik Air Asia, so tak dtg Heathrowlah, AA departs and arrives kat Stansted Airport (pinggir London gak)

note : mode sayu bila pikir me akan balik ke Msia for good...soon...

ada kat UK, tak de kat Msia : C.A.S.T.L.E

salah satu keunikan UK ialah terdapat castle kat almost all parts/daerah kat UK ni..kira mcm trademark lah kalau dtg cuti2 UK ni....

semlm, me bwk my niece melawat the famous castle of Nottingham--it was a freezing wintry day--suhu -ve3, bwh paras beku...

scene siyes sgt cantik....kalau ada DSLR memang perfect lah photoshoot kat sini

entrance tix 5.50 pound per adult...

jom layan pics...

 

note : counting the days --dh dekat dh me nak balik msia...memang rindu msia, tp sedih gak nak tinggal notts...

Excited menunggu snow

sbb kat Msia tak de snow, so tak dapek nak nolon lah..me and family sedikit jakun masa snow turun :) last winter was among the worst winter kat UK..

actually, kalau thn2 biasa, kat notts ni, bukan everyday ada snow time winter, ada ler few days yg betul2 snow turun dgn tebal/heavy..tp last year, hampir seluruh UK dpt snow tebal almost everyday..

thn ni, dh pre-winter now--sejuk sgt2 dh..suhu dlm 3 darjah now...

my Zharfan dh ckp siap2, mama, zharfan nak buat snow man bila snow turun nanti...and siap ckp, mama dh beli carrot ke belum? nak buat nose snow man tu :p

sbb last time (jan, feb 2010), weolls main2 snow balls ajer ie baling2 snow kepal2 tu...

actually, time winter & snow time---sejuk yg teramat, kena tahan sejuk lah kalau nak main snow lama2..angin pulak kuat..so memang SO FREEZING COLD!

ni pics time snow awal thn ni...

pemandangan kat dpn umah..

mama & Ariff--time ni Ariff baru 10 bln, belum pandai jln pun

zharfan main snow

note : siyes jakun sbb kat Msia tak de snow--ada snow house kat genting highlands ajer..me & hubby pernah masuk dlm tu..sejuk, tp tak real mcm kat UK hehehhhe
