Finally my trip end. T-T

when we enjoy, time move very fast. Same as my 6 holidays. It seemed only few days - -”.

I enjoyed this trip very much I’ve never traveled like a “backpacker” before this trip was my first time to do that.

And this quite a long journey to me. I’ve spent 6 days travel and a lots of money, visited many cities : London( half day), Manchester( 2 days 1 night) , Edinburgh (2 days 2 nights), Newcastle (3 hours), York (2 nights 1 day), Leeds ( 2 hours).

.

Overall, I like Highland, Scotland most. I’ve seen the unseen things and beautiful scenery along the way.

It would be in my memory(card) forever. -”-

To be honest, I don’t want to do a flashback about this trip. But the show must go on. - -”

I stayed in York for 2 days. A room was very expensive ( much more than 3 nights that I have been on this trip) because I was staying in private room. Most of cheap accommodation are guesthouse. Not many hostel (dorm).

So I must spend less here. Thing I have done here on first day was being in my room - -” (I reached York at 6 o’clock it’s already dark.)

On second day, I walked around city on the city walk wall. But it was not good idea to do that if you are going to visit York. I sugguest you to do not walk on this wall. It’s better to walk in city then travel around York.

In the city center, a shopping street names “The Shambles“. This street has a lots of old style lovely shops.

I recommend to walk through this street.

It was rain in the evening so I went to National Railway museum to avoid be wet and see British historical railway.

For me, a city of York is a small city as others. Nothing special (really).

PS. One of my friend told me after I get back to Brighton that “You must go outside York, not walk in the city center !!” -”-

After sleeping on the bus nearly 8 hours , I arrived here, Edinburgh. I was quickly go to hostel because I want to have more time to travel.
But I couldn’t find the way to hostel -”- even I had a map. Luckily, I got help from a Scotist who around there. He walked with me until we saw the hostel.
(Thx a lot)

In the hostel, I grab a whole city map. Inside it has an advertisement that they have free walked tour. So I decided to join this walked tour.

At the meeting point, I’ve seen lots of people there who came to join this tour. Then we had been separated into 3 groups and the city tour began.

this free tour guides us around old city (Edinburgh’s 2 zones : new city and old city). They showed us many historic places.
I didn’t understand all of thing that guide said -”-. He spoke very fast. But he’s funny and friendly :)

Finish the tour I walked around there and find information to travel for today. Finally, I decided to go to Hiland with a local tour by minicoach which costs 33 pounds

In the evening, I went to another side of city, a new city. Nothing interesting then buy some food to eat for dinner.

I woke up early morning for a fantastic journey. this tour started at 7 o’clock. Everyone came on time. A guide is very funny (really).

It was impressive. I have seen wonderful scenery. We stoped fews view points. So I got chance to take photos that is my main point. ^^

Due to in the winter, it began dark around 4 o’clock so we didn’t travel much. But this jouney still be great for me :)

I arrived Manchester in evening yesterday. After check in, I went outside to walk around and find some restaurant for dinner.

After I walked for a while, first thing that I like in Manchester is they have a lots of map for visitor. It guided me to go have dinner in Chinatown easily.

In Chinatown, I decided to eat in japanese restaurant named WASABI. Many students there and price is not too expensive. I ordered Set Meal, 3 sushi dishes and 1 main dish which costs 7.50 pounds.

Then I went to a shopping area. This is a second thing that I like. This area has lots of big department stores and brand name shops. I think shopping lover would like Manchester of course, especially this area.

After I walked through shopping center, I’ve been a night life area. Lots of pubs, clubs and bars there. It was dark at that time, not many people around there. So I’d like to go back hostle but I can’t remember the way I’d walked. -”-

I got lost around there nearly half an hour. Finally, I saw a street that I’d passed and asked the way out from people around there.

Thx God, I backed to hostel safely.

This morning I have a time to sightsee the city until my friends arrive. So I spent most of time on free bus to look around this city.

The free city bus service is a third thing that I like Manchester. There are 3 routes. They ran around cover the city. I took all of routes, it saved me my money and my energy :D

Late afternoon my friends arrived, we went to shopping center (again) then. And we went to have dinner in Chinatown (again -”-). This evening we had buffet in a Chinese restaurant which costs 12 pounds per person T^T.

Next we’d backed to hostel, one of my friend need go to pub. Actually I didn’t want to go because I must wake up early tomorrow but I could not refuse so I hanged out with them - -”.

That’s all my time in Manchester. Tomorrow I’m going back to London and take a coach to Edinburgh, Scotland :D

.

Actually I’d like to visit Old Trafford but It’s not much time so I think I’ll back here again. (I hope)

I was planing to visit Paris in first month here. Due to no money so I was thinking that I’d visit when nearly finish course.

2 months ago, I searched information about visa to visit Euro countries. I found that my visa has to be valid at least 6 months but my visa is going to be expired 2 months so I could not apply it T^T.

Then I changed my plan to visit Scotland.

Now I’ve got holidays 8 days. It’s nice time to go there.

Scotland is not only a place that I would like to visit. I have many places in my mind. so I must select some of them.

Finally I chose to visit Manchester, Scotland and York.

It means right now I am in Brighton (South of England) then I am going to Manchester where located in West of England. And Scotland, it’s above of North of England. Then go down to East, York.

This trip I can visit around UK ( wow! sound nice ^^ )

Let’s see how it is going to be. ;)

I’ve spent time 2 weeks to plan for visiting London. I estimated that I might go there about 4 times to visit famous London attractions that I’m interested.

4 trips in London are

- Gallery trip

- Museum trip

- Shopping trip

- Sightseeing trip
