Day 8 - 14 Nov 14 - Wales Our breakfast at Salutation Inn was in a room which was quite small but very private and homely. Only we were in the room. We set off at 10am to Ffald-y-Brenin retreat centre. It was an one hour drive because we had trusted the GPS and hence taken the longer route, which on hindsight, it would have saved us approximately 20 minutes if we had gone by an alternative route. Upon arrival at the retreat centre which was up the hills, w...

Day 7 - 13 Nov 14 - Chester & Wales Breakfast was at 7am at Innkeepers Lodge. After that, we took some pictures of the place and also with one another before checking out. So, here come Chester; we drove to the city centre. We limited ourselves to spend only at most two hours plus here as we had a long drive (about 4 hours plus) towards Wales after leaving Chester.

We were thankful that it was only about 5 minute walk from the apartment. The wait at the Hertz was long due to the complication of the administrative procedure. I then fo...

Day 5 - 11 Nov 14 - Edinburgh Morning started with homemade breakfast of bread (with egg and ham) and coffee - a simple affair to start the day of walking around the city of Edinburgh. Before we left the apartment, we did what seemed like an indoor photoshoot, intiated by photo enthusiast Denise. It was great fun during the process of posing for the best shots and knowing that it'd be a great momento of our trip together. Our first stop was the public park at...

Day 4 - 10 Nov 14 - Edinburgh The alarm rang at 5am. It was because we had a train to catch at 8am from London to Edinburgh. With all the logistics and to ensure that we had enough time to pack whatever that was left unpacked yesterday, we thought it'd be wise to give ourselves sufficient time buffer. Thank God that King's Cross station wasn't far from our hotel lest it'd be pretty strenuous having to lug two heavy luggages to the station. We arrived half an...
