Europe Trip - Leicester, Loughborough, Newcastle, Scotland

Hey guys!

So picking up where I left off, after Cambridge, we went to Leicester. There, we saw a castle! A real one! :D It was quite late though, and the castle was already closed, so we only managed to take photos outside the castle :S
Kirby Muxloe Castle
l-r: Niko, me, koko, mummy
Ohhh and I just realised I haven't posted any photos of our fridge/freezer we kept using!
The windowsill "fridge/freezer"!
The weather there was so nice and cool that all we had to do was to put the food that were supposed to be refrigerated on the windowsill to keep them chilled! It worked even with frozen food! haha!
Frozen muscles and ice-cream!
We didn't spend much time around Leicester, and after that, we headed towards Loughborough. On the way there, we got to meet up with my Ah Yee Lily and Uncle Ron for a nice Chinese buffet meal :) Chinese buffet, because we were kind of missing Chinese food, and buffet because we can eat. A lot. xD
Mummy and Aunty Lily :)
l-r: Daddy, koko, niko
We didn't really do much or spend much time in Loughborough, nor in Newcastle, before we headed towards Scotland. Before leaving for Scotland, though, we ate in a T.G.I. Friday's restaurant in Newcastle.

The prices there, after conversions, were around the same prices as in the Malaysian T.G.I. Friday's restaurants, which we thought were quite reasonable, especially if compared to the prices of the food in other restaurants in the UK! And and and, the food came in quite big portions! :)
Mummy and Daddy :)
 
 
 
We crossed to Scottish borders and went to Edinburgh for one night before heading to Glasgow :)
You can't see it, you can't feel it, but it was COLD out in the very strong wind!!! x)
The buildings and the roads and the whole feel of Edinburgh was really quite nice :) It was simply beautiful, both in the day and at night!
Somewhere in Edinburgh :)
Kor, open your eyes! xD
When we were in Edinburgh, we managed to meet up with another one of my aunties, who was also there, visiting with some friends.
The family with Ah Yee Lee Khoon
There was this one shopping complex we went to, and after parking the car, we went to look for the door leading us to the shops, and we saw this:
Erm... The shops are... up... the... ladder?
hahaha while the signposting and ladders might not have impressed me much, the views certainly did! I was crossing a road with Niko somewhere in Edinburgh, and we looked up and saw such a nice view we had to stop and take a picture of it xD
We stopped in the middle of the road to get this picture xD
The weather there was also really really nice and cool :) When the wind blew the breeze was awesome, mostly because it made everyone's hair flip so nicely everyone looked like they could film hair commercials! hahaha
I use *flip hair* any random shampoo I can find *flash smile*
Even when the wind didn't blow, the weather was still nice and cool. (I really really miss the weather!!!)
Somewhere near the Edinburgh Castle :)
Oh and of course, we couldn't leave Scotland without taking any lompat shots, so:
Edinburgh Castle LOMPATTT!!!
I just realised, looking through the pictures I took, that we didn't really do much in Glasgow, or rather, I didn't take many photos there. After Glasgow, we said goodbye to Scotland and went to Manchester :) We relied on the map we got of Great Britain a lot, and then I realised that the map was plotting to kill niko! *gasp*
Kilmacolm? Why are you trying to kill Malcolm??? NOOOOO!!!!
mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...





Buh-bye, people!!!
