Today is free roaming for me in London! I only realised last night that the entrance fees to the famous sites are ridiculously expensive, originally I wanted to go to Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral, however, they cost £20+ just for the entrance fee, so if I go to all three … Continue reading Day 29: London – Cramming London Into One Day

Day 28: London – Leeds Castle, Dover, Canterbury Cathedral and Greenwich
My first full day in London is spent going on a tour OUT OF London to the East. My tour guide sounds (and sorta looks) like Michael Caine, so w00t~ Tour with Michael Caine commentary! 😂 The first stop is Leeds Castle in Kent (NOT in Leeds!). It's a castle in the middle of a … Continue reading Day 28: London – Leeds Castle, Dover, Canterbury Cathedral and Greenwich
Day 27: Dublin – From Ireland to England
With half a day to waste in Dublin before my flight, I just did a final tour of the city along the River Liffey. Started off with a good ol' Irish breakfast. Dublin street view #1. Dublin street view #2. Hey, I don't remember where I passed by, okay? 😂 Walking down the River Liffey, … Continue reading Day 27: Dublin – From Ireland to England
Day 26: Galway – Western Ireland
Had a walking tour first thing in the morning by a local guide who was born and bred in Londonderry/Derry, apparently his dad was arrested hundreds of times but still managed to become mayor of the town! He told us stories about growing up here as a child in a total war zone (he's in … Continue reading Day 26: Galway – Western Ireland
Day 25: Londonderry/Derry: Wonders of Northern Ireland
Well, spent the night in a hostel with other tour members (these girls from Canada), slept at like 8pm to avoid awkward conversations, haha, I'm so antisocial. And we had to share one electric socket between 4 people, I went to the toilet to see someone's stool, ugh. I need eye and memory bleach, a … Continue reading Day 25: Londonderry/Derry: Wonders of Northern Ireland
Day 24: Belfast – A Divided City
I joined another 3 day tour to Northern Ireland, actually I don't even remember where I was going, the tour guide asked me if I was going to the North and I was like "Err... Yes?" 😂 And because I refuse to pay extra money, I will be staying at hostels for this tour, so … Continue reading Day 24: Belfast – A Divided City
Day 23: Dublin – Stuff of Legends
Took a bit of a break today and slept in a bit, much to my regret once again, as I had to line up for the Book of Kells, ugh. So waking up in Trinity College, my first destination was there as soon as I stepped out of the door: Trinity College. 😂 They actually … Continue reading Day 23: Dublin – Stuff of Legends
Day 22: Edinburgh – From Scotland to Ireland
Today is the day I leave Edinburgh for the Republic of Ireland! Lemme just say that, as the ignorant Asian that I am, I only realised that Ireland was a Republic separate from the UK like... a month ago. 😂 And they use Euros, not Pound Sterling! I'm so ignorant! Anyway, had a bit of … Continue reading Day 22: Edinburgh – From Scotland to Ireland
Day 21: Isle of Skye – Back to the Lowlands
Today is the last day of the Isle of Skye tour, boo~~~ I really liked this place. 😥 I guess I'll just have to come back again. 😂 Anyway, took some photo stops along the way. Land of the eagles!
