Visiting Europe has been dream for alot of travel lovers in Asia, including me. "I have to visit Europe before 30!!" I keep repeating this just last year.
A very quick and surprise message, set me going on this trip, in additional, we got best deal from Singapore Airlines to London, straight from Singapore, under SGD$1,300!!! =D
The research before the trip was kind of disaster as i still got to cope with the ever busy work. Alot of the accommodations and trains tickets were bought in the last 2 weeks before our departure. Note, you got to book train tickets especially as early as possible to get good price and seats. They may seems to be alot of space but is really surprising how fast the tickets are selling!
Lucky for the wonder of internet, i found this wonderful website that tells you the various ways to move around from London to Europe. (http://www.seat61.com/Europe-train-travel.htm)
Sis search for the places of interest and i must say she did a better job than what i am doing, she's quite detailed in this. =)
The 13 hours flight from Singapore to London was not as bad as what we thought it will be, and i actually did not sleep much, so am watch shows and walking around the air craft picking up snacks from the baskets and simply just stand around to pass time =)
It was around late afternoon when we touched down in London and I was rather tired. After not much hassle, we got the Octopus card and hoped onto the 'famous' tube (Local train) to our hotel in the city, Melbourne House Hotel near Victoria station.
It was already dinner time when we checked in and weather looks gloomy and cold. That's the first impression I had of London =)
Coming up next will be each day of exciting activities and photographs! =D
We quickly find a place for dinner, walk around the area and back to hotel to have an early night. I'm not sure if it is because of jet lag, but i was dead tired and fell asleep before I change and shower, but i got up eventually to clean up before heading back to continue my sleep.
