My Journey in UK – Part 9

I was back like child again when I went to Edinburgh Zoo at 2nd January. For your information, this zoo is one of famous International zoo around the world. There are many unique animals collection which other zoo hasn't. I spent around 1 hour in here and I enjoyed with that. Some of animals made me interesting because I haven't seen before like : Penguin, Jaguar, Red Panda and Wolverine. I was surprise when I knew Wolverine is not a wolf but rather look like combination between cat and bear. With good environment, comfortable and safe place, I thought Indonesian zoo should follow to be acknowledge as International zoo. So, If you stay in Edinburgh , don't miss it.

Three days at London was very good. My mission to visit the places that I missed before almost accomplished. I also went to Nottingham to see Robin Hood's castle. There were following places that I've visited :

1. Tour inside Chelsea' stadium. The most expensive price and most visitor for stadium tour that I've visited.

2. Arsenal's stadium (Emirates Stadium). Unfortunately I couldn't get tour ticket because the tour has closed for maintenance.

3. Westminster Abbey

4. Robin Hood's castle (Nottingham). It's very nice place and I thought it looks like a beautiful garden rather than a fortress.

5. Museum People Life (Nottingham)

6. Ye Olde Trip To Yerusalem (Nottingham) is the oldest inn in England

7. National Ice Centre (Nottingham). I could see the ice stadium in England and there were many expert player was playing hockey and ice dance.

8. Botanical Garden (Nottingham). It's very nice place to take a rest and felt clean air for a while.

9. London Tower. The greatest fortress that I've seen. I could know history of United Kingdom and I could learn about UK King/Queen. There are several main building in here, and the best for me is Jewelery House. Inside here, I saw King/Queen chair, crown, armor, horse, weapon, but it didn't allow to take picture.

10. Greenwich is prime zero meridian of the world at Royal Observatory.

My Journey in UK – Part 8

I took holiday for 2 weeks so I could go and travel anywhere that I wanted. My first journey begun at 27th of December , on Christmas and Boxing day the transportation was closed, to go Stirling. I just only went to William Wallace Monument and Bridge of Allan. The monument is good and very historic. You can see and take picture of William Wallace's Sword and also can climb to the top of monument that it's almost 248 steps. About Bridge of Allan, this place is very good , but unfortunately I didn't get further interesting in here.

Edinburgh for second times at 28th December. I was aware that I missed many nice places before and finally I have visited most of them. The another best place that I found was The Palace of Holyroodhouse. This place is second palace for Her Majesty of Queen Elizabeth after The Buckingham Palace and The Palace for Mary Queen of Scots. But I still missed to visit Edinburgh Zoo because I didn't have much time. As follow were the places that I visited in Edinburgh :

1. The Palace of Holyroodhouse and Queen Gallery

2. St. Gilles Cathedral

3. Museum of Scotland

4. The Scottish Parliament (not came inside)

5. John Knox house (not came inside)

6. Royal Botanic Garden

7. Edinburgh Harbor

29th December was a bad day in my traveling, because the whether was very bad, the transportation wasn't good enough and the most bad luck was my digital camera broken. Where was that place ? Loch Lomond :(. By the way in my opinion Loch Lomond is really nice place to see beautiful view and panorama. There are Loch Lomond Shore, Gateway Centre to The Trossach National Park, Sea Life Aquarium and still have many places that I haven't reached yet. If you're real hiker or backpacker, I recommend to visit and stay for several days in this place. And also this place is little near with Glasgow, it's around 45 minutes from City Centre.

Long traveling using private car at 30th December, it's almost 9 hours on street and just only 1.5 hours took a rest and visited some places. Starting from my flat at Bridge of Weir, I would go to Inverness city. For your information, Inverness has motto that is “Inverness is the best small city in the world”. I departed use following route : Glasgow City Centre – Loch Lomond – Crianlarich – Fort William – Loch Ness – Inverness. When I returned use other route : Inverness – Perth – Stirling – Glasgow City Centre. I saw many good places along trip especially for Highland area.

● Loch Lomond, see my journey before

● Crianlarich, there's good panorama around. After here you can continue to Fort William or Oban (Some people said this is good place but I haven't visited yet)

● Fort William, it should be many attractions in summer like Jacobby Steam Train (Harry Potter) and Cable Car Nevis Range. Unfortunately, I went in winter so there weren't no attractions anymore :(

● Between Fort William and Inverness, I could see best view of mountain that's covered by snow. This place are known Highland Area.

● Urquhart Castle in Loch Ness. This is one of the best castle attractions in Scotland. So I've visited all of the best castle in here, there are Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle and Urquhart Castle.

● Stirling, see my Stirling journey

• Inverness is good city but I couldn't much enjoy because that was rain
