Easter Break - Stonehenge-Cornwall-Somerset

Olla..ye..ye..sye tau..saye tau..konon bersemangat nk blogging over the weekend..tak kesampaian..yelah tgh ade mood broadband pulak mengada2...ish geram betul..
dh lama sakit hati dgn BT ni..tak sabar nk habis contract and change to O2..hehe..
ok back to our hols story..
This happened during March..
My parents came for the second time (Alhamdulillah..syukur diorang dberi rezeki, dipanjangkan umur lagi utk visit kitorang kt sini...)
Actually my parents dh lama nk datang..but the dotter tak kasi..yelah sure tak best if diorang dtg time me tgh bz giler kan..nk jalan pun tak best..so i decided that they came during Easter Holiday..after my cuti approved etc..we planned for the tour...

Our first destination was Cornwall..
but along the way we stopped by at several places to visit, solat and lunch..
We've planned this holiday way back in January..we used The Sun Holiday token..
Ok i'll explained a lil bit bout the token..basically u hv to collect 10 tokens (20p je satu paper) and fill up the form..choose 5 parks from over 100 listed and give 5 choosen dates...

if u're lucky u'll get the 1st choice..if not depends..the trick is not to go over the weekend or school holiday..
we went there for 5 days...
Kali ni we went with our travel geng Mrs Ainor and family..mmg dh plan since last year lg nk ke Cornwall this Easter..Alhamdulillah..we got our 1st choice...


Day 1

From London to Stonehenge..

Emm for those yg pernah pegi sure tau tempat batu batan nih..
it's a historical place..one of seven wonders of the world..
But the
truth...bukan ade ape pun..hanya ade batu batan tuh!!!hehe....

sempat la amik2 gambar sket...

pastu nk balik..biasalah cucu kesayangan Atuk ni buat perangai..adoi..malas betul mummy nk layan..biarla atuk and opah die je yg layan..

emm this time malas nk pegi souvenir shop die..tah ape pasal tah..
weather tak best kot..
and mase balik nyesal wokeh!! ;(

Stonehenge - Exeter

From Stonehenge we went to Exeter..smayang kt Exeter Mosque and had luncheon at Subway..tak snap picchas pulak...

Exeter- Cornwall

Mase ni dh nk sampai Cornwall..
mmg jauh betul dr London..almost 6 hours driving..kalau tak stop mane2 mmg kematu bontot..huh!!


Kt Cornwall we stayed at the caravan..
our 1st experience..semua org excited..
But mase nk check in ade pulak terjadi incident...

ok nk jadi cerita..this hols was booked under Cik Ainor's name..
so die ingat the extra charges boleh bayar on site..BUT we were wrong..
oleh sebab itu our caravan had been cancelled!!
WTF la kan?? dh drive 6 hours tetiba senang2 je kata cancel..
so dgn muka tak puas hati we argued..
and they offered a luxury caravan (kire upgraded punye) but we had to pay extra 20 pound per night...ape nk buat..agreed je laa..
actually in the package supposed to get the standard caravan je..

ni la rupe Caravan tu..mmg kontena je...
tgk dr luar..betul ke ni??hehe...
location mmg startegik..tepi beach..
that's why la tersangat windy okay!sejukkk...bbbrrrr....

kitorang dh prepare our ration for 5 days dh..hehe..tu la kete penuh..food aje dh half..
siap daging, ayam, sardines, beras, Brahim's food and ape2 lah..mcm nk pindah rumah je...
but nasib jugak la bawak sume ni..
kt sana mmg susah nk cari restaurant!!mmg kene masak and bwk bekal..
so sesape nk pegi better be prepared..
setakat McD ade lah..but larat ke nk makan hari2..Fish je pun yg boleh makan kan..yikes!!!

Surprisingly..kontena yg nampak seposen je dr luar tu amat la Marvelous sekali!!
kami sungguh impressed tak terkata..semua complete..
and maybe that was the luxury one..besar gak laa..
ade 3 bedrooms, 1 toilet and 1 bathroom...
kitchen mmg complete with stove, oven, microwave, crockeries and cutleries..
periuk and kuali pun ade..
caserole la, tempat grill..mmg 1st class laa..
but i heard yg standard takde microwave but basic thing lain ade laa..
heater and hot water pakai gas..ok laa..so..so..
but not too hot!!and this was early easter..still sejuk mcm winter!!!

ni our bedroom ade double bed and wardrobe..lengkap laa..
yg the other 2 rooms ade 2 single beds..memandangkan kami la paling ramai so kuasa veto kate kami dapat katil double..heheh..
thanks Ainor and Hippies!!! ;)

Day 2
Land's End
Ni adalah tempat wajib if pegi Cornwall..
The last point in the UK map...
Sejuknye Ya Ampun...punye la tak expect..
and bile pikir balik..mmg la sejuk coz it's facing an open sea..
ayoyo..nyesal tak bwk winter jacket..

mase ni angin kuat sgt..sampai kitorang tak leh jalan..
and kt tepi cliff tu mcm bahaya sket..so my mom pun dh gayat..and she decided to stay with the kids at the shop area..
(ala sebenarnye die nk shopping tuh..hehe...)
mane tak tumpahnye kuah kalau tak ke nasik..ye tak??

Minack Theatre

After that we went to this theatre..
tempat ni sgt sgt 1000x lawa okeh!!!
we were impressed!!!

Theatre ni mmg tepi laut..
masuk kene bayar..but mase tu theatre season tak start lg..
boleh tgk theatre open air..so mase tour tu ade la video citer pasal org yg buat Minack ni..
just imagine 3 org je yg buat from the start!
tp result and landscape..SUPERB!!!
teringin nk pegi lagi and watch the theatre..siap dh pesan bwk blanket...hehe...
tp tempat ni kalau pegi dgn budak mmg kene pegang kuat2..
ishh gayat sungguh...kitorang turun la jugak but dgn hati yg sgt gayat..hehe...
balik rumah and lepak2..
masak2 and makan2...

Day 3
St Michael Mountain

This is a sea-bound castle..
nk pegi pun kene tunggu low tide baru boleh cross
But time my parents dh surrender..dgr je laut..tanak pegi..hehe..kesian gak my mom..
(btw pg tu we just received a bad news about my uncle..he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia...)

btw all of my moms siblings kate terus kan je la holiday die and not to worry so much..
but you know...we were all very worried and sad but what to do..ni la dugaan duk jauh...berdoa banyak2 je laaa...

castle ni mmg cantik..
but org yg amik gambar nye tak berapa pandai kan..hehe...and malas nk edit the pics..so layan je laaaa...

mase nk cross ni punye la windy...serious susah nk jalan...
Adam jalan pun sebab kene tolak angin..Adib jgn citer laa..menggigil2 die...hehe...

But afterall..it's worth the efforts..and luckily gak my parents tak ikut...sgt susah nk jalan..
we almost give up..but with the lil courage left, we managed to reach there!!!!

mase dah sampai atas..budak bertiga ni duk kt wind shelter...
but still windy!! Mummy dh lost in the shop..hheehhee...

after the castle visit, we had the Cornish Ice cream..
pun tak amik gambar sbb excited sgt nk merasa cornish ice cream yg diberitakan sedap...
hehe...
mmg sodap pun..it's a must..
but mase we all pegi tak byk kedai bukak..even kt land's end pun kedai scones and ice cream die byk tutup..but ade la makan ice cream jugak..

Lappa Valley Steam Railway

After the castle, we went back to the caravan..
had lunch and went to Lappa Valley..
ni nk rase naik steam train..choo choo...
my parents esp my dad pun bukak la citer diorang dulu dh puas naik steam train..hehe...
kitorang je yg over excited...

best gak tempat ni..dr first stop we were brought to a park..ade train kecik yg lain jugak..malas dh nk upload gambar..
kids were really enjoyed themselves...

and the mummies..had scones and cornish clotted cream tea..
one of the speacility in Cornwall!!!
yummy!!!

set ni mmg a must yea...

Then we headed to Penzance for ships and boat sightseeing...cantik!!!

Malam tu konon nk buat BBQ..
pegi kt Lidl near our place tu jumpe pulak mr crabby..
owh dh lama tak makan okay!!
ayam dh siap marinade..
but disebabkan cuaca terlalu gloomy and windy..the men refused to menyalakan api..
kitorang dh bwk BBQ set bagai...
ended up BBQ dlm oven je laaa....

BBQ Dinner...
Grilled Crab, Roasted chicken yg tak siap lg mase nih..egg salad, left over spaghetti and potato wedges....mmg best!!!
sesuwai la duduk tepi laut kan...
Kt London ni susah nk dapat crab and mahal!!!

Day 4
okeh disebabkan cuaca tak berapa mengizinkan..my mom dh bisik malam semalam nye suh balik harini..diorang dh tak tahan sejuk..
kesian gak laa..eventho ade heater but tak cukup..
kalau we all ni ok laa..dh biasa kan..
so we decided to go back to London..
BUt Ainor and family stayed..
Sorry babe..terpaksa laaa..dh 4 hari pun..hehe...

Pg tu we had Nasi lemak..
sambal gune sambal Brahim's je and tumis sket tambah bawang...

And Adib yg tak kesampaian nk swimming and play sand kt beach..so diorang main kt dalam caravan je..walaupun beach tu nampak dr tingkap we all...
what to do...
next time la yea...

Clarks Village

After dh siap semua..the next agenda to go to the Clarks Village in Somerset..
it took about 2 hours to reach there..
tp mmg berbaloi..
Shopping kan??
sape tak suke...
my parents tu sakan laa..sbb kitorang tak bwk diorang pegi shopping lagi..dh gatal tgn hehhee...
bile sampai je..tak tunggu we all dah..
diorang terus meluru and hilang dalam kedai2 yg byk tuh!!!hehhee....
