Life in london thus far..

Finally i managed to upload all the pics which I took during the Easter holiday.. hee.. well, we went on a road trip to Stonehenge, Bath, Canterbury and Dover. It was a fun experience.. first time whereby I get to go on a road trip.. and packing sandwiches and making potato salad for the trip! haha..

Check out the photos from the links below:
Stonehenge
Bath
Canterbury
Dover

Stonehenge was the mystical ancient place where the stones were constructed by the ancient people. It's amazing how they actually built it.. with no help from the modern technologies of today. Although it's just a few stones, but personally, I quite like it.. too bad we had to stand quite far from the stones itself..

Bath was a very nice town. Like Stonehenge, it's also a National Heritage site.. with alot of the buildings all preserved and conserved. Well, we were very lucky.. coz when we reached the famous Roman Bath, the guards didn't wanna let us in coz the Bath was closed already. But after walking around, and went back to the entrance, we saw a group of tourists going in! so we quickly went to join the tourists.. and Bingo! we got in, and for free!! haha.. From the pictures, you can tell that the Romans in the past really know how to enjoy life. Such a big bath for them to bath..

Canterbury was nothing much, except for the Canterbury Cathedral, the mother of all cathedrals in UK. It's a magnificent and very well preserved cathedral i must say. As it was Easter, there happened to be a service, and it was also part of our plan to attend the service because the famous Canterbury boys' choir was singing. Hee.. i almost fell asleep during the talking.. but the choir was good.. amazing how boys can sing so well.

Dover is the town where pple cross the Channel over to France. It's by the coast of England. The white cliffs there are magnificent! Can still rem how it looked like when we drove in and I saw the great white cliffs for the first time.. But somehow, my photos didn't really turn out very nice for the cliffs coz didn't really get a good place to take nice photos.. the highlight of the Dover trip was the Dover castle. Dover Castle is also part of UK's National Heritage site. Within the Dover Castle, there lied a very extensive network of tunnels which we went in to tour. Alas, cannot take pictures in the tunnels.. "In May 1940 these tunnels provided the nerve centre for Vice Admiral Ramsay to plan The Secret Wartime Tunnels Operation Dynamo – the evacuation of British and allied troops from the Dunkirk beaches of northern France." - quoted from english-heritage.org.uk hee..

Over the May 7th bank holiday, me, aijun and melvin went to Dublin.. but got to wait for a few more days before i upload the photos.. coz now busy looking for accomodations for my Austria trip in end may.... hope we can find good and cheap accom.... it's always a tedious process to search for accom!!!

Will update soon!!!
