Stressful trip
While sipping the cranberry & elder flower tea from my black ceramic mug after vacuuming my room, i was thinking about yesterday's supposedly fun trip turned into a stressful trip. There were 10 of us including me. There were so many of us, it made everything difficult except that we could get the group day pass for the underground, which did indeed save us a lot. Why did i mention it was stressful, well, first, we were suppose to meet at the bus stop at 8am in the morning but half of them came half hour late and luckily the bus was late too. But when were gonna board the bus, we found out that the bus ticket was way too expensive, as expensive as taking the train so we decided not to take the Greeline bus and take the Uno 614 bus instead with is way m uch cheaper. And since we missed the 1st cheap bus, we waited for another half hour for that bus. When we reached Queensbury (zone 4), the final stop of the bus, we decided to get the day pass for the tube and when we were about to take the tube to the central, they told us the train won't be stopping at the Queensbury station yesterday as there are some repairing of some sort going on so we have to get to the nearest station, the Wembley Park station by the bus shuttle. From there, we went to ou first destination, Nottinghill. I really like Nottinghill. Well, it isn't like the central but it has got a lovely neighbourhood and small cafes by the roadside with trees and it is quiet, not busy at all. I would love to stay there but it's not very affordable. There are posh cars parked by the road.


That'll be Portobello market in Nottinghill. There are many antiques and cafes and bakeries. But most of the stuff sold there are kind of expensive. I saw this very beautiful leather bag which is 125 pounds!!! That's almost 900 ringgit!!

That's some pretty cool toaster i saw in Covent Garden. And on the right is the Wembley Stadium. While me and my other friend was waiting for the rest for more almost an hour. And that was when we all missed the bus to go back to Hatfield. Then we have to take the tube back to Kingscross to catch the train which will cost us more.


Overall, this trip was a little stressful but i did pamper myself with some good food. Me and the few friends had some good food in Chinatown for lunch, ordering dishes and rice, just like what we used to do back home in Malaysia. Then later in the evening, had my favourite.. ICE CREAM.. from Haagen Daz.. Really tastes different. So the trip wasn't all the bad... Some plus and minus here and there that made it more neutral...
