London Day 1: A Hustle Ride to London



----
Question of the Day:
If I played mini golf, does that makes me a mini golfer?

What a lovely day waking up in the morning seeing road covered by snow.

Walking from my place to Lai's takes me extra more time as the road is slippery and the scenery is too gorgeous. The quiet street became lively as our cab drives us down to the station with extra care. 

As we arrived the train station, they are all there waiting. Not waiting for us, but for Weatherspoon to open for breakfast. 

As we enjoying the morning coffee fragrance, the train arrive and we gulp down our breakfast. And off we go to London from our lovely small town, Aberystwyth.


Weekend travel is a very very bad decision. A normal one changes became three changes train to London. Not only that, we got to run with our heavy bags to catch the next train. Although so, we laugh at our silliness and make fun of each other.

After all the hustle traveling, we finally reach our destination, Euston London. As we though that's the end of all the hustling, there we face with another trouble. Oyster card and underground tube. 
Done with all the traveling and queuing, we finally reach the place where we call home for the following few days, Farringdon. 

It's a quiet small humble housing area in London city. There are puds, bars, restaurant and all the basic shops a town need to survive. However, most of them close by 5pm or on Sunday.

We all so tired to the extend that we do not want to move a finger. So we decide to get to the nearest available restaurant for food and call it a day.


Love,
Nichole

p/s: Opposite of our house is a Malaysian restaurant. 2 minutes walk to Yo! sushi. A bar around the corner. 5 minutes walk to Tesco Express and Weatherspoon. 10 minutes walk to the station. How strategic a place can be huh.
