A 2-DAYS-1-NIGHT TRIP TO LOCHNESS

Hi there.

In this post, you will go through an adventure with my family and I to find the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie, also known as Crusoe in the movie, The Water Horse!🐲

A few weeks ago, before the government started the movement control order, my family and I went to Loch Ness. Loch Ness is in Inverness and Inverness is in the Scottish Highlands. Although all the places of interest were closed because of social distancing, the trip was fun! We went there by car and it was a three hours' drive. The day we went to Loch Ness was the day before Tok Mama's birthday so we made a surprise call for Tok Mama once we reached Loch Ness.

 Beatrix Potter Garden we stopped by on the way to Loch Ness. 

We found this by chance because Dadda was looking for the RnR for a toilet break.

 We could still see snow up on the highlands.

 Saw this beauty when we stopped by at a gas station.

After hours on the road, we finally saw Loch Ness!

 The centre was closed but we stopped to take pictures anyway

The BnB Dadda booked was the best place ever! It was also a baby-friendly place so it was good for Aysha. The place was cosy and it was in front of a river and made the place beautiful. After we've settled everything in the house, we went for a drive around Loch Ness. We went to buy some groceries at a nearby Tesco, we went to see Urquhart Castle but it was closed, of course, but we got to see the castle from above. After that, we went to take a picture with Nessie's statue at a place called Nessie Land. Here are some photos of us exploring Loch Ness.

That night, we ate some dinner that Mommy cooked with some ingredients that we brought from home plus some that we bought at Tesco. After dinner, we played Uno for family night and then off to bed for a good night's sleep.

On our way back to Glasgow, we stopped by at McDonalds for lunch and Asda to buy some groceries to bring back home.

So that was our trip to Loch Ness. Hope you guys enjoyed reading. Stay tuned for more posts.

Bye!😉

FAIR AND FROZEN

Hi there.

So, like I said in the previous post, there are christmas decorations, markets and fairs everywhere right now and I already told you about the fair in Edinburgh in my last post.

Last Saturday,  the day before we went to Edinburgh, my family and I went to Intu Braehead to watch Frozen 2. I was so excited! The movie was awesome! After the movie, we went to Pizza Express for dinner. It was a  really nice family outing.

 Got our snacks and ready to go in.

Ready to go home, sleep early to go to Edinburgh early next morning.

The day before that, we went to George Square at the city centre to go to the Christmas fair. It was so pretty with all the christmas lights, the rides and the decorations! Idzhar and I were so excited! We begged Mommy and Dadda to let us go on one of the rides. Hehe... They said that we could go on the merry-go round or the carousel because the queue for the ferris wheel was too long. Mommy took Aysha on the ride with us while Dadda stayed to take pictures and videos of us and looked after Aysha's stroller.

After the ride, we went to get S'mores! Before they made our S'mores, we got to toast our own marshmallows too. I chose a chocolate Oreo S'mores while Idzhar had the chocolate orange S'mores. Needless to say it was so yummy, even Dadda, Mommy and Aysha couldn't resist picking on our S'mores! At the fair, we bumped into a few of Dadda's friends. We talked and took pictures with them. Finally, we went to have dinner at Las Iguanas before heading home.

 Some Malaysian friends in Glasgow.

 Aunty Natasha was also there. She is also one of Chevening Scholars in Glasgow, like Dadda.

 Dadda's classmate, uncle Enad Talal from Saudi with his wife were also there.

We missed the Govan Christmas fair a few days ago (because we were planning to go the day after but it turns out that the fair was only for a day) but Pirie Park Primary's Chrismas Fayre is coming soon! Will tell you all about that after the fair on Friday. 

Bye. ⛄
