Travel

It’s time for a bus ride. I decided to realise the anticipated trip to Eyam on August 20, 2009. Why was it an anticipated trip? I have been here in Britain for nearly a year, studying about dead bodies, and the topic of Black Death appeared quite a lot in …

Easter is almost here. I booked my flight home to spend the Easter break in Indonesia and today I decided to join the girls and their beaus to hop on a train towards York. On this April Fools’ Day 2009, we got on to the morning train past Barnsley and …

The second leg of the day was Scarborough, a city located 37 minutes drive north of Whitby. This will be a stupid idea to go north in this cold. But it’s in the programme, so I’d better make use of it. We didn’t visit many attractions in Scarborough as we …

We departed from Bar One in Glossop Road at 6:30 am. A bus was ready waiting for all participants to hop on. There were only a few of us joining this Give It A Go trip to Whitby & Scarborough. We were given half a day sightseeing at Whitby and …

At first, I didn’t know what the hey is Boxing Day—a day of boxing as a sport? Well, I couldn’t be more wrong. It has nothing to do with sports whatsoever, but it has everything to do with your wallet. Anne and I started a little bit early on Boxing …

Our late lunch-slash-dinner was terrific. Mrs Rendezvous really did open the restaurant, and we see quite some number of people dining in. We splurged, as I said, and good God, the meals were delectable! That woman is responsible for the well-being of Anne and me, indeed. I wouldn’t know how …

Christmas in Edinburgh was something that never crossed my mind. Neither Anne nor I celebrate Christmas, but it’s still an interesting occasion to observe. I expected to have lights, candies, goodies, and Santa! I already know what Christmas in my country looks like. Now, I want to know what’s going …

Post #5 This is the second part of 24 December 2008 for Anne and me, and this part will focus on our day one of Edinburgh’s museums walk: Day 1. Our destinations ended up to be Camera Obscura and World of Illusion and The Writers’ Museum. Museum 1: Camera Obscura …

Post #4 Edinburgh Castle was one of the points on my bucket list, and now I get to cross it off because I was there! It was such an amazing experience although there were more wars and conflicts than I could handle for one day. Read below for the complete …

Post #3 The Bodysnatchers Murders is the second topic we were introduced to in The Witchery Tour. I think everybody knows about Burke and Hare, but this was my first time face-to-face with their stories. The Bodysnatchers Drawings of Burke & Hare Photo courtesy of Historic UK Leaving behind the …

The Witchery Tour became our first Edinburgh experience. We decided to participate in this tour to get a taste of what Edinburgh has to offer us for the next two weeks. The tour was remarkably interesting and this post only talks about one topic: witches and witch hunts in Edinburgh.

Anne and I hopped on a train to Edinburgh to begin our fourteen-day holiday in Scotland. There were so much to write and so many pictures to choose from. I decided to make a Scotland Series out of our trip, and it starts with when we arrived in Edinburgh.
