London Revisited... 英伦之旅 (III): 15 Dec 2007 (Saturday): Paris - London
http://lohky-london3.blogspot.com/2007/11/natural-history-museum.html
London Revisited. 英伦之旅 (III). 15 Dec 2007 (Saturday): Paris - London. Crossing the English Channel. It's one of the rare mornings that we started the day late. the Eurostar that headed for London only left Paris at 11 . The journey lasted for about 2.5 hours. Well, it's already the 2nd time. but noticed the difference at the immigration point. Back in the early 2000s, we only 'cleared' our immigration at London Waterloo, however, this time, it's at Paris to process our entry to UK! For the first time in ...

Lapse of the train journey. of course, the steps to climb up and down lah. Hm On the whole, we enjoyed our 4-night stay here :D. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Natural...

Switzerland... 瑞士: 10 Dec 2007 (Monday): Interlaken
http://lohky-switzerland.blogspot.com/2007/12/10-dec-2007-monday-interlaken.html
10 Dec 2007 (Monday): Interlaken. We joined the optional tour to go up to Jungfraujoch, a much-talkabout place. It cost us CHF185 (including lunch). It is known as the "Top of Europe" - not the highest peak, but the highest point reachable by a train. The famous red train that climbs through a tunnel, through the mountain! It passes by Eiger, Monch and eventually Jungfrau. When approaching the base station, we were amazed by the christmasiee view. So beautiful, so postcard like! The well-known Swiss bank?

Our Accommodation in Switzerland (8-11 Dec). For the 1st night (8 Dec), we put up at Astoria Hotel. It was a quick check-in check-out thing.

We joined the free guided tour to learn some key info facts of the garden. for instance, how it came about (OK, it's again, the king and queen stories).

London Revisited. 英伦之旅 (III). 19 Dec 2007 (Wednesday): London - Heading home. It's the last day. finally, after being away from home for almost 2 weeks! We decided to leave the hotel late - had a good breakfast, then check out. partly also because 'off-peak' for tube travel only starts at 9.30 am. Yes, the difference of the day pass between peak and off-peak can go as much as 1 pound! We came the other day (with the land tour), but today's. It's the Whisper Wall at work! Visited the Tower of London in th...
