Easter Trips!!

It's holiday season again... another month of it.. lol.. dont really know why there's so many holidays over here in the UK... but it's all good for me as I get to travel again... lol...

BLACKPOOL
Anyway, on the first day of hols, went to Blackpool for its theme park... its called Pleasure Beach Theme Park and it's next to the sea... heard it was good and since they are having promotions we decided to go... it's been a while since i last went to a theme park with roller coasters and all.. the rides there are awesome.. really exciting... compared to those boring rides in Genting Highlands.. we rented 6 cars as there were almost 30 of us....I got a Vauxhall Astra 1.8cc... quite a nice car to drive... it took us almost 2 hours to reach Blackpool from Leeds.. ONce we were there, met up with Kok Hong to collect our tics and there we go... there's this ride called 'The Big One', it was a really scary one... u go up above 200 feet and u drop at an angle of almost 80 degrees.. that was really awesome...cant really tell much through words.. i will just let the pictures do the talking.. not much though.. too lazy to upload all of it.. can check it out in facebook...


Entrance to the theme park...


these guys couldn't wait for the toilet.. so they resort to contaminating the beach with their piss... lol...


In Fusion... nice ride where your feet is hanging in the air..




the ride was nice but the queue was horrible... since the place was so crowded, I have to wait for more than half an hour for each ride... some even took me an hour just to get on to a 15 seconds ride... lol...


just look at the queue...


this one is something different... it does a 360 loop and it goes backwards when it reaches the end.. cool ride...


that's me...

Bye Bye Pleasure Beach..

We then head off to Lake District to stay there for the night...

Lake District

It was suppose to take us 2 hours to reach the hostel in Lake District but while we were leaving Blackpool one of the drivers managed to follow the wrong car and he lost the way which wasted half an hour of our time... sigh.. we never rented any red car but somehow he followed that car thinking that it was us.. god..

Then there's another incident which delayed us to the hostel.. while going up a steep slope in Lake District.. one of the cars we rented couldn't go up the hill so we have to leave the car there and drive them up to the hostel.. according to the hostel owner, the slope that we went is one of the steepest slope in UK.. god.. all of us don't know y that particular car couldn't go up as all the other 5 cars managed to reach the top.. sigh.. anyway, the hostel was very nice and clean and the sceneries in the morning is just beautiful..

Since Lake District is famous for the lakes, we went to 2 lakes on Sunday, Coniston and one of the lake in Fell Foot Park.. The sceneries in Lake District is very nice and u get to see a lot of sheeps running around and from the slopes u can actually take tonnes of good pictures... wonderful scenes... it's a good place to chill and relax... Din manage to take much picture as I was driving most of the time..

My ride for the trip....






since it was lunch time, we stopped by one of the pubs to grab some food..the place was quite expensive but then i was too hungry to care... got myself a Salmon and Cream Cheese Sandwich... and also RM 50 is not enough for anything on the menu as shown in my pic above... loll...




that's me driving.... yeng leh... hahaha...

one thing i notice about ppl in the UK, they like to bring their dogs to everywhere they go... so scary...sigh...


Lin Nyok and the golden retriever...


another huge dog...





Coniston...

The river...




loads of ducks around...




nice scenery



well, that's it... although it was a 2 day trip, it was fun and adventurous... and also i found out that there were a few selfish bastards whom i do not wish to go for a trip with them anymore.. overall, it was a really good trip and really exhausting one as well.. I slept for the whole day the next day i got back...lol..

Cheers....
