Oh gosh, the transit seemed like ages. Note to self : Never agree to a transit flight EVER again. Due to the overbooked-ness of flights, we had to wait six freaking hours and its not like there's much to see at the airport anyway. Out of the total four meals served during both flights, I only ate half just because I felt like it. Slept most of the way on the second flight too.
Anyhoo, upon arrival at Heathrow Airport, Uncle Gnanasekaran picked us up as we're staying in his place in Guildford until tomorrow. Just a little family history - Uncle Gnanasekaran is my daddy's cousin and he's the only uncle I actually call uncle because well, he's quite British. He btw is Arit's mum's brother and was the one who told the both of us we were related. Look how well that turned out. Haha. He has two sons Kishen and Aron who are pretty good looking. Too bad we're related.
So we arrived safely in Guildford at around 4 and I spent the rest of the evening lazing around. Watched some TV, unpacked and help made dinner. I fell asleep by 9.00 and woke up to a rainy morning twelve hours later.
The weather today has been fairly pleasant despite the morning rain. It's not extremely cold and the sun is out so it was a good day to walk. And that's exactly what we did. We're staying at Queen Eleanor's Road in Oslow Village so it's about a 15 minute walk. We basically just walked wherever our legs brought us - Marks&Spencers, some shopping mall (excuse my short term memory) all located on or near Guildford's Famous High Street.
We also visited Guildford's Castle Grounds, St.Mary's Church, Guildford War Memorial, Guildford Hospital (which isn't really a hospital, it's sort of like an Old Folks Home except fancier) and Guildford Museum. Pretty impressive considering we were only out for four hours. There's one thing I like about walking - bloody cute blonde guys. Okay, I think I should stop dreaming.
To all the shopaholics, the clothes from most brands here are slightly cheaper. Seriously. Think Topshop, Roxy, and all that nonsense. But I was a good girl and didn't buy anything although Belle's reminder to buy bras kept on popping in my head in Marks&Spencers. Hehe ;).
We did some grocery before heading back home and now well, we're home. It'll be getting dark in an hour or so, so I guess I should go pack for tomorrow. My sister's convocation is on the 30th, so we're heading off to Bristol tomorrow morning. Taking a bus I think. Pictures from today would be up just as soon as I find the time.
Take care loves! Toodles! :).
jue*i'm not lazy, i'm just saving energy.
