Geo: 22.33, 114.18Well today was the final day, final day also for cramming more stuff into our already overloaded bags, we had until 12noon to be out of our room but Nikki decided that she still had things to buy, but most of the shops only opened at 11-11.30am which meant we were hanging around waiting. We had put our bags in the hotel storage so luckily we didn't have to drag the bags around. When the shops finally opened, the girls were happy with their bargains!!We collected our bags and caught the airport bus to Kowloon station where we could check our bags directly through Virgin Atlantic and check in, then we caught the airport express train straight to the airport. It was about 2.30pm and our flight wasn't until 7.10pm so the 3 girls ... read more

Geo: 22.33, 114.18After an 11.5 hour journey on Virgin Atlantic with tiny leg room, a numb bum and a little bit of sleep, we arrived at 5.15pm on Wednesday, we seemed to have lost the day from flying,so we bought some more train tickets and headed into Mong Kok. The train went to Kowloon then we were transferred to a bus for hotel shuttle. The crazy bus driver, omg... You wouldn't want a weak heart, he was crazy, dodging in and out, taxis, buses and people. But we made it to our hotel, the Royal Plaza, a luxury room with great views on the 16th floor and a Nespresso coffee machine!! With a quick change, we were out the door again, off to the shops!! Night markets once we found them, having to barter for some ... read more

Geo: 53.4108, -2.97748Well it looked like another sunny day ahead, we had planned to catch a train to Liverpool, so with a short walk to the Chester Train Station we bought our tickets for a 40 minute trip, and when we arrived, we grabbed a map and headed towards the Liverpool Eye, and towards the harbour. On the way there was so many huge beautiful old buildings, and with the sun shining, we just wanted to see everything. Down at the Liverpool eye, there was boats in the water , the Beatles yellow submarine , and the Joker's boat and a few others. We went into the Beatles shop, bought some souvenirs and walked a little further where we were going to see The Beatles Story until we found out the price to go in, we ... read more

Geo: 53.1998, -2.87566We joined up together for breakfast where we we so warmly welcomed by the owners, we were waited on, felt like we had our own butler!We then set off leaving the 3 girls doing their own thing but they did head in to town first, while we walked to the stairs to start walking the wall that surrounds part of Chester. We started at the main clock and headed down towards the River Dee, and the hopped off there to have a walk around by the river, The sun was out, although you could still feel the cold air but it was just so perfect. We got a phone call from Lorraine's sister to say they had arrived in Chester so we then headed back to the clock bridge. We all met up and ... read more

Geo: 55.9503, -3.18761Today we decided to go for a visit to Holyrood Palace which is located on the bottom of the Royal Mile, so we set off downhill passing many amazing scenes along the way. We bought our tickets and entered the palace, unfortunately you cannot take photos inside, so could only take a few of the areas outside. The Palace was huge, lots of huge painting on the walls and alot of history,it's amazing to think this is where the Queen and her family come and stay when they are in Edinburgh. After leaving the building, we went and saw the ruins from a fire many years ago. Outside the sun was shining, and on the lawns within the Palace gardens, there were squirrels running around munching on the grass! We finished on our tour ... read more
