真是不好意识,隔了几天才写part 2,因为都没什么时间。。。
接着说吧,利物浦之后呢我们是前往苏格兰的Edinburgh,我们是两点凌晨从利物浦出发的,车程大概是4到5个小时吧。。。开始的前两个小时是我开,过后就换人了,真的好累哦。。。

我忘了几点到达了,大概是七八点吧。。。我们就去吃个早餐,早餐是sandwich,很大个还不错。对了有照片。。。嘻嘻




怎么样?看起来不错吧。。。嘻嘻

过后呢我们就去第一个景点-Edinburgh Castle。。。一路上走着也有很多蛮吸引人的建筑物。。所以就走走停停也花了蛮多的时间才到目的地。。。最重要是有到啦。。。哈哈
请看照片。。。








以上呢就是一路上拍的照片。。。接下来就是Edinburgh Castle了。。。


背后这个就是Edinburgh Castle了。。。有点像中国吧?哈哈。。。。。


从城堡里面拍出来的风景。。。





这个之后呢我们就去看什么女皇的第二个家之类的。。。应该是什么威廉王子的家吧。。。应该啦。。。错的话请不要骂我。。。嘻嘻







因为我们没给钱进去参观为了省钱,所以只能在外面拍照。。。嘻嘻。。。
就在这个时候,有人给了我们免费的入门票,像是一个大食会的东西,有的试吃。。。也能试酒。在一个大草场上,感觉还不错。。。






这张是从对面的小山上拍的。。。还有很多。。。











这些就大致上是我们这天的旅程。。。。过后就回我们的“酒店”了。。。。哈哈
我们是住背包旅馆。。。。对了,认识到了一位新人叫Vivian。他是台湾人在美国读书的。。。人还蛮好的。一个人自己来旅行哦,好厉害。。。他就睡我上面那层。。。

~Scotland Trip Part 1~

第一天,十一点成功拿到车,把东西方上车后就出发了。。。
第一天的行程是先到利物浦找朋友然后去球场参观,球场我就不介绍多了,因为不是曼联的球场。。哈哈。。。先看看我们的战车和车队吧!!哈哈








车还不错吧。。。

出发咯。。。去利物浦大概需要三个小时的路程。一开始有点怕怕,因为不晓得英国的路有没有不一样,结果是我们多担心了。。。不过红绿灯就是有些不同。大致上没什么大问题。。。也不是我驾车,不关我的事。。。哈哈

经过了三个小时的路程,终于到达了目的地,是我朋友的宿舍。把东西放下后就飞去球场了。。。驾车只需要十分钟吧。。。









球场没什么好说了啦。。。哈哈。。。
过后就到了Liverpool City Center吃晚餐,我们的晚餐是fish and chips,好大份和我们之前在Whitby吃的一样大,但这里的有souce所以比较好吃。。。不过没拍到照。。。
看看利物浦的样子吧。。。











不好意识啊。。。在这里没什么拍到照片,不过这里也不是重点啦。。。。哈哈
就写到这里吧。。。。敬请期待part 2.... 嘻嘻

~Sheffield United vs Leicester City~

The first ever football match in my life!!
From this match, we can feel the enthusiasm of British football. Sheffield United Stadium just located near to our hostel, it only require 10 minutes walk. And we can see there are so many people waking on the street headed to the stadium with Sheffield United Jersey. We were wearing it also to show our supports.... hehe...

The ticket is 11 pound for student regardless which area you choose. The seat that we chosen is near to the field therefore I can see things very clear, the skills, whether got foul or not, all cannot escape from my eyes.... hehehe

The first half, Leicester City was playing well, Sheffield United was under attack. And the half time score is 0 - 0.... Second half Leicester City get an opportunity and they scored it. It was a free kick and the ball was reflected and the keeper pounce on the wrong side and couldn't save it... 1 - 0

After substitution, Sheffield began to approach to situation. Finally in 75 minutes, Sheffield United number 27 tried a long shoot and the ball went straight to the net.... yeah~~~ 1-1
The atmosphere suddenly went high!! 20 thousand more peoples cheer for this goal!!

Final score 1-1


Match going to start in few minutes


Nice catch....



GOAL!!!!! Sheffield United get equalizer!!!




Dun you think the picture is weird?? Tell me who is the keeper?? hahahaha...

~Castleton Trip~

Another amazing trip that we had.... Castleton!!
Castleton is a pretty village situated in the heart of Derbyshire Peak District National Park. It has 4 underground show caves, all having different features that are open for visit but require to pay for the entrance. The four caves are Blue John Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Treak Cliff and Peak Cavern.

The air was so fresh and the scene was so spectacular which i dun know how to describe in words...hehe .... Maybe the picture may help me describe everything that I wanted to say.... hehe


After get info from tourist office and checking the map ....


That's me... walking on the street... (right hand side)






Climbing hill....


The view from the hill.....






Outside peak cavern....


Outside tourist office...




We bought joint ticket for Peak Cavern and Speedwell Cavern which cost me 10 pound. In Peak Cavern, they showed us how a rope being produced. After showing, then we went inside to the cave and is was so dark and cold inside. It's about 10 degree Celsius inside or maybe lower than that. That's a tour guide explained everything inside the cave along the 30 minutes journey. It was quite fun....

Speedwell Cavern is different with Peak Cavern. Speedwell is go by a small boat with 21 peoples. It go into a very small tunnel and no much space inside... u have to be careful because your head will easily knock on the "ceiling"

After all, we also went for hill climbing which i already showed the picture at the beginning.
Castleton is really a good place.... I like it .... give it a good!
