England: Day 6

1) What else do people do in Manchester....visit Manchester United stadium!! A dream come true for my dad and bros. Wished I was a die-hard fan myself.
The Manchester United TrinityHeading towards the old Trafford stadium...wheee!!In the player's changing roomWatching the match from the player's seat! O.M.G.
2) We dropped by my cousin's university, Manchester University to take pictures!3) And took away lunch and ate in the car coz we had 3 hours to drive and a play to catch.

4) Watched the Lion King musical at Lyceum Theatre. It was good :) :) Except the Simba actor had a rather feminine voice. If not, everything else was fantastic!
5) Celebrated my parent's anniversary dinner at Covent Garden. 27 years of marriage is no joke and I've learnt that its not always picture perfect... but whats important is the determination to stick together as a family. Ps I loveee Covent Garden! Its a place I would definitely visit again or maybe stay at when I come visit London again.

England: Day 5

1. So I woke up for breakfast and next thing I know was that we were going for a roadtrip. Well the plan was to pick my sister's luggage at her HSBC training centre which was in
Bricketwood..who knows where.
2. We rented a car, got ourselves a Tom Tom and off we went to Bricketwood. Its sooo beautiful! More like a vacation place if you ask. Hehe my company should take note!
3. Had lunch in a lovely little town in
St. Albans.

4. We were told that
Bicester Village is a must visit. So off we went to the designer outlet place. Time was very limited. We only had an hour to shop. Hahah good news for my wallet. I got myself my first Karen Millen dress :)
5. And then guess where we headed to next. Clue: my dad and bros are Manchester lovers.


Yepppp we drove another 3 hours to end up in
Manchester!! Red bricks all over!
My sister and I decided to explore the city in the middle of the night, thanks to our cousin who became out body/tourguide
(he's studying there)...We bought some shakes and drinks from a convenient store and just hung out on the streets in the city. I like Manchester. It feels like dear ol' Melbourne...It feels like home :)

We hung out by the 'Manchester Eye'
6. Our travel route!^8 Cee
