LONDON TRIP | JUNE 2015
(I know it's been a very long time since I last posted, sorry for the very very late post about my trip to London.)
This trip was planned rather slowly and delayed, like few months before the start of summer break. This is because of studies, finals and homework to catch up. So, me and my flatmates finally decided that we should sit down and plan the whole trip, through and through to finally be able to purchased the tickets to London. But... by the time we sat down and planned, it was like a few weeks before summer break starts, so... eventually, the train tickets were very expensive, which made us turn to our last resort, Bus!
Okay, bus it is!!

| wayy cramped than any coach service in Malaysia!! not gonna lie!! |
The trip was 3-days in London, by bus to-and-fro. The main thing to do for us was to go the the Chessington theme park. So, we bought the 2-day passes for the theme park as there was a sale for £99 for buy 2 free 1 deal, so yeah, 3 tickets for the three of us.
The trip will start on Monday till Wednesday. So, we bought the bus tickets for Sunday midnight, as the bus journey would be 7 hours, so, we're travelling through the night and by morning, we're in London!!!
(I know.. too much talking, anyways... here's the pictures)

The bus did drop us at the Victoria Coach Station, and for us to go to the theme park was by train. So, naturally, we walked to the Victoria Train Station, and also, lucky it was just a 3-day trip (1 backpack is enough)
From train station, we need to get to Clapham Juction to switch train to Chessington.
Finally at Chessington World of Adventure Theme Park. It was larger than expected and the ride there were impressive, as compared to KL's Sunway theme park (In My Opinion!!!!)
Was too excited to stop and stare, but instead, me and my flatmates were running towards each and every ride when we arrived, So, pardon for less pictures of the theme park. The only time we managed to actually have the time to pose and take pics was at the ride for the day, which is the Safari Jeep ride, as the queue was very very very long, so might as well grab the chance to take pics? Haha

Water ride through the Japanese theme forest?
Long queue as usual, the statue was along the queue path, and there is a lot people waiting for the water ride.

After we have tried almost all the rides, we took the last ride of the day, which was the tram (sorta like monorail) that go through the whole theme park and to also show us the view of the theme park from higher ground.

After a long day at the theme park, we went back to our lodging, not exactly a hotel, hostel, dorm, but it's someone's flat. We rented it for 2 nights from
Airbnb and it's only £12 per night per person. Also, it's located in Seven Sisters, which is only seven stops from Victoria Underground, so... yeah!
