Edinburgh







 
 

坐coach來回各8小時去愛丁堡!!crazy us! cost us 72pounds!
Edinburgh是一個灰色的山坡城市
建築物都灰灰的,氣溫約15度,風吹時很冷....
幸運的是去的這兩天還有太陽~

我們住在airbnb網站上找的私人民宿
其實就是當地人出租自己家的空房,一個晚上加網站服務費共40 pounds
主人是澳洲來的,到英國約2年,房子好乾淨整齊!!
而且意外發現她們跟我們一樣8/20離開英國到歐洲旅行兩個月! 好巧~~

在Edinburgh超級悠閒,因為市區不大,走走停停很舒服
我們還參加了當地的free tour,走路逛市區3小時!
雖然有一些英文聽不懂,but you get to know the city more.
像是當地的食物 Haggis,一種羊絞肉,我們也嚐了一些~
還有如日本忠犬小八,Edinburgh有Bobby!
還去了J.K.羅琳當初創作Harry Potter常待的The elephant house cafe!

我買了老爸交代要的蘇格蘭裙Kilt
當地真的看到很多人穿呢~

我好喜歡Edinburgh小小的城市
有很多漂亮的老建築
因為市區很小,散步好方便,是一個很簡單旅行的城市
市區還有好多綠地,好多人在草地上曬太陽 (天氣太冷了嘛,太陽曬地好舒服~~)

市區旁邊有一個小山丘,Calton Hill
在那裡可以看到整個愛丁堡市區,還看得到海~
在那個山丘上可以坐一整天看風景!! cest magnifique!!
只是....風有點太大太冷...好可惜...

好喜歡兩個人簡單的2天旅行
沒有趕著去哪裡
走走停停吃吃!
we didnt even go to the castle~
bcos I have been there and Eddie didnt really want to go....
I still enjoy the city and had a good time:)

Hounslow West







it's olympic time~
but we didnt do anything related to it today....

昨天晚上看了開幕轉播,大家最喜歡的應該都是007和Mr. bean的橋段吧~~
今天坐了好久的公車還是要去逛car boot...
結果竟是open market>< 賣一些衣服水果家電等二手貨
好失望阿....
回程又去了一次notting hill
現在不是觀光客,覺得東西好難買....
倒是在那裡看到身穿國旗圖案的台灣人! 真是愛國呢!!

Tottenham






今天主要目的是Tottenham有一個car boot sale
結果可能太local, 一無所獲....都是當地人賣自己的衣服為主
而且這一區的sellers脾氣都很大
逛得很不舒服....

and then we went to Angel, King's cross station (for 9 3/4 platform )and British library.
公車大怪物在angel的upper street上!

mews







it's so hot today!!! I even got suntan ><
we went to Wimbledon car boot sale,it take places on both wednesday and saturday.
the weather was too good for the car boot sale....

喜歡現在住的地方附近,有許多住宅區間的小巷弄
就座落在主要平行道路之間
是安靜又有個性的小天地
散步在這塊區域,會忘記自己在busy的倫敦市區~

Brixton






we went to Welcome Collection this morning.
and I went to Brixton in the afternoon.
I found a place called Brixton village. There are so many cute and small restaurants.
I like the atmosphere there!
Brixton是一個很local又賣好多便宜蔬菜水果的地方,是個市場區
沒想到Brixton Village裡面別有洞天
很多小餐廳好可愛~
改天一定要來試試看!

RIBA






After dinner, we went to Royal Institute of British Architects.
it's quite close to where we live.
There is an exhibitions about the architecture of London 2012
吃完晚餐和老公散步在下班後的London
看個小展覽,真是輕鬆愜意 : )

fisher boot sale






Sunny day today*v*
we went to 2 car boot sale today~~~

After the fisher boot sale, we went  to Battersea car boot sale again!!!
I like Battersea car boot sale a lot, cos it is on sunday afternoon.
I can have plenty of time to check all the items out.

大部分的car boot sales都在下午2點左右結束
天氣不好時,很多sellers都會提早打包
有時候因為路途遙遠,到達時看著她們一個個在packing時
心裡之慌呢!! 所以難怪我這麼喜歡這一個sunday下午的car boot sale~

逛得很high,買得很滿足~
代價就是一路扛著這些超重的東西奔波....
累死我了今天....

we bought lots of things, as you can see from the pictures :)
