Loch Ness
Joined one day tour to Loch Ness (one of the city in Scotland) which is organised by HAGGIS Adventures. It departed from Edinburgh at 8.15am so we took 6.15am train from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Reached Edinburgh at 7.50am and the bus departed at 8.30am.

This is the cute cute yellow Haggis bus for our adventures.

Our first stop for the trip was somewhere on the way to Glencoe, it is a refreshment stop for both the adventurers and the driver as well. Daddy bought a cup of coffee to fresh up himself. We saw Highland Coo (Highland Cattle) at here.

Third stop was Fort William. Here we got to see the monument which had been built up to remember those suoer brave soldiers which fight deadfully for their country back in those days. Took a few photo here with my sister's camera, so don't get to upload it now.

Forth stop was the long awaiting destination, Loch Ness. It is actually just a lake. The water in the lake is black in colour. It is famous because of the monster, a dianosour-like creatures.

Fifth stop was Pitlochry. It is also a lake, with a little dark water (not as dark as the one I've seen in Loch Ness).

The last stop for this trip was Perth. I think I didn't snap any photo when I was there, maybe due to tiredness and sleepiness after travelled for the whole day. We reached Edinburgh at 8pm as scheduled. Took train back to Glasgow at 9pm and reached Glasgow after 55 minutes.

It was an interesting adventure but it was a super tired trip. Next time must plan to do the adventure by ourselves instead of joining a tour. The main drawback of joining a tour is you can't enjoy as much as you like, I mean you have to followed what had been scheduled. You are allowed to jump off the bus and snap photo quickly for only a few minutes and then get ready for the following destination. It's really tired.!

I'm back in Glasgow.
Finally, I am back in Glasgow (my sister's place) now. Had a good rest for the afternoon today. Super tired.! Feel alot better now. Miss darlinn so much. He is back in Malaysia now, having fun and enjoying delicious food at home now, envy of him so much. I am going back soon too, excited.!

Back to my holiday, went to Germany during the beginning of FIFA World Cup, get to experience the excitement and enjoyed the environment during World Cup, taken lot of photo with all those football freaks but too bad, most of the photo are gone now due to the lost of my memory card.! Italy is super warm now. Maybe not only Italy but the whole Europe is warm now, couldn't stand of the hot weather, 30 degree celcius. Walked under the hot sun was torturing. Went to leaning tower of Pisa, Colloseum in Rome and a lot more.

Mom and dad reached London on the 21st June, brought them to visit London Eye, Millenium Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Tower, Hamley's (the largest toys store in UK), etc. Then we went to Birmingham on the 23rd of June, visited Cadbury World for my secnd time and Bull Ring. Enjoyed my favourite chinese buffet and BBQ in Chinese Dragon Restaurant.

Took flight back to Glasgow this morning and arrived here at 11.30am, take a rest and went out for lunch at 1.30pm, in a Chinese restaurant as well, the food is not bad but the price is quite expensive. After lunch, had a good rest for few hours, really no energy to continue travelling already and woke up at 8pm. Had my dinner in the Malaysian Restaurant again, this is the 4th time I went to that restaurant, haha, I like this restaurant so much just because it has Kangkung Belancan :p

We have bought a flight ticket to Amsterdam, Netherlands two days later, on the 29th of June, depart from Liverpool. Will be staying there for 5 nights and coming back ont the 4th of june, 2 days nefore my sister's graduation ceromony. We just bought the ticket this evening, so the price for the tickets is super expensive, this is the 1st time for me to buy such an expensive ticket. Compare to the amount I pay for my visit to Germany and Rome last 2 weeks, it is really a huge different. We paid almost 100pounds each person for the flight ticket to Amsterdam. But I am sure this trip will be a wonderful trip, coz I am going with my family.!

holiday-ing.
My summer holiday is fantastic.! I reached UK on the 20th of June and now I am travelling together with my parent, we are now in Birmingham and will go back to Glasgow tomorrow. Finally I can go back to Glasgow for a good rest, I am very very tired, 3 weeks non-stop travelling, made me feel so tired and hated travelling so much. My parent reached here on the 21st of June at 3.00pm. We stayed in London for 2 nights and came over to Birmingham for a night and tonight we are going to overnight in London Stansted Airport, because our flight depart at 8am tomorrow morning. This is the 3rd time I overnight in London Stansted Airport within this 3 weeks. It's very very suffering to overnight in the airport, couldn't sleep well.!
My sister and I are planning to go to Amsterdam next few days, but we haven't book ay ticket to go over there, hopefully we can get a cheaper tickets so that our plan is still on, if not we will just cancel off, and head to Highland, Aberdeen, Edinburgh which is all in Scotland.!
There's lot of unhappy and unlucky things happened when we were travelling around Italy, I hated Italy.! The worst thing happened to us was my 512MB memory card lost.! All our photo which taken in Germany is gone.! We still can't accept this truth until today.!
A lot more to update with you guys, be patient.! I will upload all my story when I am free later on.!
