Arrival. Advance to battle stations!

(Monday 11 Feb)
Finally landed on UK soil. A long tiring plane ride but glad to be here in London. But the journey to Loughborough has only just begun. Lying ahead of us is 4 hrs of coach ride. And the best part was our coach stunk of urine from the water closet at the back....so we had to endure for the whole journey! Remind me never to sit at the coach rear...

Awaiting for express train between terminals of London Heathrow

Yay! Heathrow!

Train ride

Central bus station

Brrrr!! It's so cold and there's "smoke" coming out of my mouth!

My first purchase in London.....Water!! After all the travelling feeling thirsty, and it's ex....3 for 3.30 pounds

All our barang barang

Standard British Architecture

Interesting sight on the coach

Awesome!

London public bus

Waiting at Victoria Station, our second bus stop. Victoria Station is big but troublesome cos bus bays are not under the same building but u haf to cross streets to get to other bay terminals.

The bus to Loughborough, at last! But not before making several stops to some town, Leicester, Loughborough and ends at Derby

Short stopover at Leicester. View from an overhead bridge

Posing by the Leicester map. Should be returning here soon...it's close by to Loughborough and apparently one of the major shopping areas in the East Midlands
