Day 39

Rented a Car and went on a Road trip out of London to Dorset(South of UK) and travelled to several cities in England.

It is until I travelled out of London that I truly experience the UK. Somehow London is like a boiling pot, people from all nations, all ethnicity, all languages just fused into one. Together with the tall buildings, busy streets with fast walking people, its no different from back home in Singapore, Hongkong or any other cities you can think of.

So here goes!

0900hrs

Collected the car. We booked a Ford Fiesta at £122.42 initially. But because they were 'Out of Stock' They gave us a Volkswagen Passat 2.0 which was much more powerful and at the same price! So it was a blessing, free upgrade!! :P
But the only drawback... it was a manual car.. I drove out in the streets of London with multiple road hazards...frequent stallings... Man I almost endangered 4 lives with me. Scary, it was such a bad experience that I declined driving for the rest of the journey.

1200hrs

After 3 long hours of drive. We arrived at 'Weymouth town' in search for lunch. It was a nice old little town separated by a river in between.

Caravan house we saw on our way back



1800hrs

We did not book any accomodation. And thats exactly why it was so fun! Being panicky about where to put up for the night and slightly 'stranded' in an unfamiliar place (In the woods!) An element of risk and adventure. We went past a few 'Bed and breakfast' The prices were reasonable. But being fellow Singaporeans, we want the best deal right? We travelled between towns and finally settled for a Bed and Breakfast of £15/person. Fact: Henry Cavendish was the 'founder' of the Hydrogen gas

Dinner!



The getaway to the countryside was magnificient. Think about the 'Tom Sawyer' kind of setting. You're there. On your front, you see the gigantic ocean meeting the horizons, on your left right and back are lush green pastures with sheeps and cows grazing. How awesome is that? As I just sat on the seacliff looking far, I felt so so so so small. I can't help but Praise GOD for his beautiful art work.

But whilst I'm enjoying the beautiful pictures, my heart was with you guys. Deep in my heart, it brings me no complete satisfaction enjoying this picture alone, I wish you were with me, enjoying it together. Good things are meant to be shared, I get what this means now.
