UK Trip Part 2

This is a picture of us outside the Natural History Museum. Don't you think its so funny? I also dunno what we were doing. *haha*

You might find this picture familiar. Remember the movie " A night at the museum"? I am sure you will recall this scene. :)

I absolutely love the building. It is just so pretty and the designs are so fine and intrinsic. Every part of the building is so nicely done. It's so hard to see them in Singapore.


I took this shot when we left the museum at 5pm. See how quickly the sky has turned dark.

We headed for Harrods after a long day. Its a really expensive store. I only walked out with three boxes of tea. :(

Its Day 5 in London and we headed to Ravens Wood School at Kent. It's a long ride and I took a shot of the lovely morning on our way to the school.

That's a picture of my student guide, Kristen, who showed me around the school. He speaks really well and is very sincere. You would realise that I am all wrapped up and he is not cold at all. Terrible.
A walk by the river will be nice. Don't be deceived by the sun, it's actually cold outside.

Finally, we headed for Cambridge. And we all loved it very much. In fact, we all wished to study here. Kinda wished I have been smarter. Cambridge reminded me of Harry Potter a little cos of the castle-like buildings. The English lady is our Cambridge guide. She jokes in a serious manner that makes me laugh.
A picture of one of the students' dinning hall. It's so nice. Our university canteens cannot be compared.

A picture of the view by the river :)

I took many pictures of the buildings. Just could not resist. The students travel to different buildings for lessons either by foot or bicycle. They aren't allowed to drive.


This dinning hall is very cosy and grand with a fireplace as well. All the tables are set with fine culinary. *impressed*


More pictures of the buildings. Aren't they lovely?



There are many quaint little shops in Cambridge. And I found this shop quite interesting. These are the old English suits for men. So vinitage. And it's still on sale.

The sun came out and the photos looked even better.


That's the school's chapel. Very grand indeed.
Visitors need to pay to visit the chapel though.


Trinity College - where our MM Lee studied.



This is my favourite picture of Cambridge. There were little boats where people just relax under the beautiful skies and scenery. And it also marked the end of our Cambridge tour.

We took the Eurostar to leave for Paris at St Pancras Station.

Farewell to London and in 2 hours, i will arrive at Paris.
A better way of travelling than taking the plane.
