My children's trip to UK & Europe ...Part 2- London

London..here we come!..

Our initial plan to visit Stonehenge and Portsmouth were shelved as we saw the news that the snow was heavy in the Southern part and from the BBC news ..advised not to travel unless necessary .Thus decided that from Cardiff, we drove into Central London .
Wow! driving into London city centre in snowing condition.Yes! we drove into Central London ..Upper Berkeley Street, Marylebone. Along the journey the scenery was white..as snow..true snow..Hyde Park was white...Not difficult or complicated at all..We reached our destination safe and sound..time to return the car at Marriot Edgware Road as planned.
Time to explore London at night..not really at night as it was only about 5pm it was already dark..
We walked to Oxford Street..it is not that far from Marble Arch Inn where we stayed.
Heading into Central London

My children's trip to UK & Europe ...Part 1- Bath ,Bristol,Cardiff

Oh! what a fortunate children to be able to travel to UK and Europe at young age. Syukur Alhamdulillah that we managed to give them the chance to give them exposure to travel overseas.They were given an allocated budget based on their proposed budget trip that enable a group of 4 person to travel in UK and Europe for 20 days trip.I just sent them to check in at KL Central and let them travel on their own...

Excited ...sms to friends
