During our stay in Aberdeen, my son booked British Airways domestic flight to London for us. We did not check in any luggage, like Air Asia, we need to pay for check in bags. So having a cabin bag will do, 7kg for a ten days stay is enough for each of us. Before going to the airport, my...
REACHED ABERDEEN RIGHT ON TIME IN THE EVENING... So nice of Mr. Moh to fetch us from the airport and straight to his guesthouse for dinner! The superb aroma of the food reached our nostrils even before we reached the kitchen. Mary, as usual, had her hands full in the kitchen, she is a super...
OUR TRIP IN LONDON AND WALES CAME TO AN END, all credit goes to Aaron for organizing this wonderful 10 days 9 nights stay for me and my girl.

FROM THE DONNATHO CASTLE, AARON DROVE TO TOWN and it was my first time visiting the fishing village. We parked the car and walked awhile bit before we headed back home. Stonehaven is a pretty harbour town south of Aberdeen, famous for its Hogmanay fireballs ceremony. Attractive Stonehaven has a...
WITH TUMMIES FULLY FILLED WITH FISH N CHIPS AND ICE CREAM, IT IS TIME TO SET OFF.... Aaron drove another ten minutes and stopped to visit the Dunnottar Castle. Last year I stayed inside the car and waited because the trail is not suitable for wheelchair. This time I managed to go and I need to...
THE NEXT EVENING WAS A FRIDAY.... Aaron came back earlier than his usual time and took us to Stonehaven, a 15 miles away and a half hour drive from our place. It is my third time going to Stonehaven and as far as I can remember, the famous joints are The Bay and Auntie Betty's. Originally a...
ONE EVENING AFTER OUR HEAVY DINNER, we took a long walk to the beach. The beach was actually ten minutes away walk from our place but the stretch of the beach was quite long. Wearing our winter jackets with the wind blowing into our face, we managed to "survive" the one hour plus walk and I...
WE LEFT ABERDEEN VERY EARLY THE NEXT MORNING...It was raining quite heavy when the cab came to fetch us to the airport. For the past ten days while we were there, there was no rain to deter us from going out, thank God for that... I did not sleep well the night before, maybe due to the fact I had to...
AARON TOOK US TO THE BEACH AFTER WORK... It was near to our place... We took ice creams again abd we ate them in the car while watching seagulls flying here and there... He told us that the seagulls can just "snatch" the ice creams from our hands if we were not careful... Hahaaaa... Serious or not, I dare...
WE DID NOT LEAVE THE FALLS OF FEUGH until we had our afternoon tea at their restaurant.... I did not get to do that during the previous trip.... Aaron told us that we must try their afternoon tea especially their scones and cakes....This restaurant houses private functions ... Garden weddings...
FROM STONEHAVEN, AARON BROUGHT US TO THE FALLS OF FUEGH... I remember coming here before two years ago but it was in spring then. What appeared before my eyes during this fall had me mesmerized ... It was like looking at the postcard but the only difference is that it is real before our eyes...What...

AARON TOOK, A DAY OFF TO TAKE US TO THE CASTLES AND THE NORTH SEA... It was just a forty-five minutes drive and the scenery was just breathtaking... Reminded me of those romance fiction books, dukes and duchess.The Dunnotar Castle by the cliff....We spent more than an hour there, i didn't really venture...
I KNOW I FOUND A FRIEND IN YOU!! Thank you so much Mary for inviting us over for endless lunch, dinner and answering to my picky cravings as well!! Hahhaaaaa... When can I ever learn how to eat an English meal when all the time I am just craving for Malaysian food? This is my crazy...
FROM THE KELPIES, AARON DROVE ON ANOTHER TWO HOURS TO GLASGOW... We have not been here before and Aaron did some homework beforehand and we landed here ar St. Enoch which is a more happening place.... It reminded me of Rundell Mall in Adelaide where there is a pedestrian walk along some streets....People...
WE STARTED OFF OUR DAY TRIP TO GLASGOW AROUND 10am this morning... On the way, we diverted to Filfuk to visit one tourist spot called the Helix Park and The Kelpies. With the help of GPS, Aaron managed to get us to the park without any hassle.... My only hassle is to get in and out of the car and...
WOKE UP EARLY THIS SATURDAY MORNING TO START OFF OUR DAY TRIP TO LIVINGSTON... the weather was around 9 degrees and I wore three layers of clothing before we started out....as usual I sat behind so that I could have the whole backseat to myself....somewhere along the way, we stopped for a cup of hot coffee...
