Kalo ikut stended org sana, 45pounds tu kira dah mahaaallll tau! .. Bukan apa, u can get lots of other places yg lebih murah. Mungkin boleh consider tpt2 yg outskirts sikit? Bukan apa, public transport is very efficient, so nak tunggu tube or bus mmg selalunya x lama, n tambang pun reasonable, and places like Travelodge pun byk whr u can get as cheap as 9pounds per nite..

Mizz punye opinion lerr.. Hehehe..

Salam,

Baru sampai KL semalam after few weeks hols. Baru perasan tak ramai mentioned about Premier Inn Hotel ya? Saya stay kat 3 Premier Inns sepanjang kat London (8 nites total). Overall ok and very clean. If you book early can get as low as ￡30 per nite.

Mizz - tu yg tgh timbang pro and contra nie - byr mahal sikit, dpt bilik kecik cinonet tapi betul2 dlm London.
Pronya - kalau la letih, bleh balik bilik, lepak2 jap then kuar balik, tak yah fikir panjang sebab tak yah fikir kena amik train journey 20-30 minit nak sampai London. and malam2 karang, nak kuar makan, just lepak2 area dekat hotel je, or nak g tgk wayang ke apa ke, nak lepak TKMaxx etc etc....kalau duduk outskirts, biasanya bila dah balik bilik, mungkin malas dah nak kuar semula...hehehe.....holiday kali nie nak agak laid back and easy - bila rasa letih, balik jap, then kuar balik. Bukan zup zap zup zam tgk semua benda dari pagi sampai mlm lepas tu balik terbongkang kat bilik....

Travelodge dah mahal dah bilik dia - setkt nie dpt paling murah pun dlm 40quid satu malam. Agak2 kalau tunggu sikit lagi, ada kemungkinan dia buat sale semula ke...? Kalau tak, ingat nak book je yg Yana dok jeling2 dua tiga minggu nie....

DocYana

Okay - nie tentative plan Yana.....Bear in mind, kami nak buat holiday laidback and easy...

DAY 1 - arrival in LHR - around tghari - pungpang immigration and baggage reclaim, mayb amik Heathrow Connect aje, sebab 25 mins je dari LHR ke Paddington. Check in into hotel (still tak decide lagi, maybe nak cari area Bayswater kot - ada sentimental value sikit hehehe)

ptg - jenguk Hyde Park (rasanya otak tua nie dah kurang ingat kot betapa besarnya Hyde Park nie, hehe), gi Oxford St, jalannnnn ke Picadilly Circus (bleh tgk sign board lampu dekat2 nak malam tu) then makan then balik tido.

DAY 2 - hubby nak gi Wimbledon - so pagi nie reserve utk gi Wimbledon, join guided tour dia pukul 1030 then masuk museum dia jap then balik Central London - maybe tgk Tower Bridge, Big Ben etc etc yang berdekatan.

DAY 3 - Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall, in time for changing of guards Buckingham Palace, then Museum of Natural History (tpt yg besar ya amat - takkan sempat habis walau seharian kat sini)

DAY 4 - Camden Market
ptg - take train to Liverpool

DAY 5 - hubby nak g stadium tour

and then, plannya nak ke Amsterdam.

Memula ingat nak naik dari Kingston-Upon-Hull - tapi P&O Ferries kat sini landing kat Rotterdam - kena naik shuttle ke Amsterdam pulak.

So lepas membaca kat sini, ingat lepas Liverpool tu, kami mungkin amik train ke York, jenjalan kat situ jap, then teruskan perjalanan ke Newcastle, bermlm sini, shopping factory outlets sini then the next night naik ferry ke Amsterdam.

Masa tgh plan2 dulu, macam2 agenda nak buat sekrg nie rasa macam tak cukup hari la pulak....heheh....

    Mizz.. kalau kat Travelodge family room leh masuk 4 adult tak? kalau ikutkan dr apa yg ada cam cukup.. 1 double bed, 1 pullover bed and satu sofa... Mau dah book family room kat kingcross tu.. satu mlm dlm 80pound..mmg ada yg outskirt skit yg murah.. tambah2 skrg travelodge tgh sale.. tp dah travel ngan my parents, kesian plak kalau jauh nak balik bilik.. kalau dekat at least leh kasi dorang berehat kalau dorang penat, me and my sister leh continue jln2.. tgk tgk la.. maybe first day sampai London tu nak dok area battersea ker sbb family room baru 25pound.. then the next day, tukar chk in kat central London.. cuma nak pengesahan la samaada leh masuk 4 org tak family room travelodge..

harimau76 Post at 1-1-2012 19:15

Hehhh.. Boleh sangat2!! Kami dulu pun mmg sentiasa booking family room. Kat website bilik tu max 3 ke 4 ekks? Kalo x silap 2 adult 2 kids kan? But kitorg  dulu selalu kena buat trick time check in 2 je yg pi counter, tp either the other 2 tunggu kat kereta then bila kat counter xde org baru yg lagi 2 masuk, or lagi best kalo bilik mmg dekat dgn side exit, then angkut barang untuk semua org masuk guna side exit tu hehehe.. Dalam bilik ada katil queen size, n sofa bed. Ngam sangat sbb sofa bed pun ada pull out mattress so semua org can sleep very comfortably xyah berimpit pun..

Lama lg ke Yana nak pegi? Kalo lama lg tunggu je la kot diorang buat sale lagi.. Hmm.. Kak Boochik dah lama x masuk sini. Dia sure tau bila Travelodge suka buat sale. Mizz dulu masa plan trip selalu je sms dia tanya tu tanya ni hehehe..

DAY 1 ...
DocYana Post at 1-1-2012 18:10

Yana, sat nak komen sket hehe..

DAY 1 - arrival in LHR - around tghari - pungpang immigration and baggage reclaim, mayb amik Heathrow Connect aje, sebab 25 mins je dari LHR ke Paddington. Check in into hotel (still tak decide lagi, maybe nak cari area Bayswater kot - ada sentimental value sikit hehehe)
Try check gak area Southwark ke, dekat gak tu dgn Tower Bridge hehe..

ptg - jenguk Hyde Park (rasanya otak tua nie dah kurang ingat kot betapa besarnya Hyde Park nie, hehe), gi Oxford St, jalannnnn ke Picadilly Circus (bleh tgk sign board lampu dekat2 nak malam tu) then makan then balik tido.

DAY 2 - hubby nak gi Wimbledon - so pagi nie reserve utk gi Wimbledon, join guided tour dia pukul 1030 then masuk museum dia jap then balik Central London - maybe tgk Tower Bridge, Big Ben etc etc yang berdekatan.
Kalo Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Sq, Buckingham Palace boleh je cover in half a day since semua within walking distance kan? And better pray tht on the day Yana kat sana ada changin of guards hari tu. Jgn lak jadimmcm Mizz, dua2 time pegi sana, xde pun changing of guards... ..takde rezeKi sgt2 time tu.. Then tghari lak buleh ukur Oxford Street n Bond Street n sampaikannsalam Mizz kat Primark situ n Selfridge ehhs..hehe..


DAY 3 - Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall, in time for changing of guards Buckingham Palace, then Museum of Natural History (tpt yg besar ya amat - takkan sempat habis walau seharian kat sini)

Mizz,
Yana dah register dah dgn Travelodge - every few days pergi jenguk. Hari tu dia ada buat sale 12quid, tapi dok belek dok belek, dah la org lain sambar, so sekrg paling murah pun 19.50 dgn 25. Southwark punya 65. So still tgh dok mencarik lagi la...

Ptg masa sampai tu, Yana risau kitorg letih + jet lag - tu yg buat plan sempoi2 tu....kalau lebih masa, kitorg pergi tpt lain pulak. Kalau kami tinggal area Bayswater, ingatnya nak amik underground ke Picadilly Circus, amik gambar, round2 - jalan slow2 masuk Hamleys ke apa ke (dulu masa student, masuk Hamleys saja dah 2 jam....hehe) then jalan along oxford street sampai la ke Marble Arch balik...kalau jumpa apa2 yg menarik, masuk kalau tak, tak perlu,......haa, gitu....hehe.

MUST SEE and MUST GO - Wimbledon, British Museum and Museum of Natural History - dulu masa student dok lepak London berminggu2, tak ingin nak masuk museum - sekrg nie rasa eeee, budus sgt la Yana masa tu.....

Yang lain tu sekdr nak tunjuk kat Encik Hubby - Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Parliament, Pall Mall, Trafalgar Sq., Buckingham Palace (betul, dulu masa bawak member round, ada jugak time2 yg takde changing of Guards - cuma nasib baik masa bawak mak pergi, ada - so ada la can tgk jugak sekali) - seingat Yana dulu, kitorg start dari Trafalgar Sq, bleh je jalannnnnnn and cover semua tpt nie - tapi kena revise balik map and tgk route dia macamana....

Kami siap nak exercise nak improve fitness sebab Yana pesan, pergi London kena byk berjalan - pagi nie ingat nak berjalan sekilometer dua, tapi tgk hujan pulak dahhhh......hahaha.

Shopping tu number 3 atau 4 kot....itupun kalau ada TKMaxx. and dah target FO kat Newcastle - shopping sebelum naik ferry ke Amsterdam - by that time just tinggal beg dlm hotel utk tunggu flight balik je....

DocYana

Okay - sambungan itinerary yg tadi tu...

DAY 4 - check out hotel, tinggal barang kat Euston Rail Station - pergi Camden Market and Camden Lock
Dlm pukul 12 tghari - naik Virgin Train (direct - tak yah fikir pasal nak bawak beg turun naik ketapi) - takes about 3 hours to get into Liverpool Lime

Check in Holiday Inn (the only hotel 'mahal' yang dibenarkan sepjg trip - semata2 dia betul2 depan rail station) and round bandar - tgk Albert Docks etc.

DAY 5 - Anfield Stadium Tour and Museum - kalau rasa amik masa, mungkin check out dulu and tinggal brg kat hotel. Ptg - amik train ke York - journey time about 2.5 hours. Overnight in York.

DAY 6 - York - jenjalan sini. Lepas check out, amik train to Newcastle - journey time about 1 hour. Pastikan arrive in time for check in Premier Inn North Shields which is, seberang jalan from Royal Quays. HAHAHAHA - ini lah satu2nya tpt dimana agenda Yana adalah shopping - since dah nak balik, cuma tinggal satu je destinasi which is Amsterdam. Dah berkira2 dgn Encik Hubby - minimal luggage sebelum Newcastle so that tak seksa turun naik public transport.

DAY 7 - overnight ferry to Amsterdam.

OK tak,...?

Hello everybody...
ina, berry, Mau dll..
sorry lela tak dapat nak tolong for now cz a bit bz...
nnt bila semua dah setel lela mesti update balik apa2 yg patut..

to yana... premier inn is better than TL but for budget travellers the best option would obviosly be ibis or TL and the like..
but if it suits yr budget and gives better comfort for you then why not..

again my all time reminder would be when you shop, shop for yrself 1st.. jangan buang duit beli souvenier tuk org lain dulu...

barang kat sini sangat sedikit harga yg bawah GBP5... that's just a fallacy...
ada..tapi not many..
so dont keep yr hopes up high..

on that note Happy New Year to everybody and the Christmas deco will be down on the 12th day of Xmas..
take care happy holidays and have a pleasant journey to all travellers..

DocYana

Thanks Lela - takde high expectations pun sebab tahu dah macamana kat UK tu. TETAPI, there is one thing yg Yana nak borong......CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS! Hahahahaha. Sengaja pilih tarikh lepas Easter Sunday sebab tahu lepas Easter mesti diorg akan jual murah choc eggs tu semua.....

Premier Inn in North Shields in Newcastle tu sebab sebelah Royal Quays, satu utk survey ada brg menarik ke tak, and satu lagi, dekat dgn pelabuhan yang nak ke Amsterdam. Malas nak mengangkut brg jauh2....

Planning utk holiday nie actually BANYAK benda nak consider kan.....just because kita jumpa a good deal on a hotel, kita kena pikir pulak, MASA yang di amik utk travel ke sightseeing spots, then senang ke tak nak cari makan. Convenient ke tak kalau kita nak balik and then keluar semula.

Secondly, tujuan utama holiday bukan utk shopping pun - itu bonus kalau dpt benda murah. Yana dah janji dgn husband kalau pass exam nak bawak dia gi holiday - as 2nd honeymoon also....org takde anak, macam nie la.....hehehe.

agak2 laa kan, end of feb tu berapa cuaca erk..?
