My World, My Life: Scotland~Edinburgh & Glasgow

Assalamualaikum.

Happy weekend everyone! Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidiladha untuk semua.

On Day 7, we flew to Edinburgh, Scotland via British Airways. Mmm... as the London Heathrow airport is very strict upon liquid on flight, we had to dispose all Muhammad and Iman Najiha's milk in my backpack. Luckily, Mr. AJ kept several bottles in our luggage for extra stock. Just a few minutes before departure, Muhammad asked me with tears in his eyes," Why those people dispose my milk? Don't they know that I need to drink my milk?" Mr. AJ replied," It's ok, Muhammad. I'll buy you more milk once we reach the hotel k." Honestly, I prefer KLIA and Dubai International Airport. They really understand the needs of mothers and children.;-D

Upon arrival, we went to Holiday Inn Hotel, Edinburgh and stayed there for four days and three nights. Just for extra information, they served Malaysian's cuisine but we don't take any of them as they don't have HALAL certification. The good news is, you can find a few HALAL restaurants nearby the hotel. Our favourite spot was an Arab Muslim restaurant which just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Next to our hotel are Edinburgh Zoo and Royal Botanic Garden. So this hotel is very strategic. The kids really enjoyed their time. Edinburgh and Glasgow is super cold!!!

1Malaysia!

On Day 8, we travelled to Glasgow for one full-day trip. The journey was around 1 hour 45 minutes via coach. We went ronda2 at Glasgow city then to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Ticket price is upon request only. There are 22 state-of-the art galleries displaying around 8000 objects. Kids will definitely love this place. Apart from that, there's a library and research centre here.

Early morning on Day 9, we were alarmed by the hotel safety warning. I'd just taken my bath and a hotel staff knocked our door. He reminded us to go down and join the others at the car park. The weather was super cold that morning. It's sooo breezy and the wind blew strongly. I really thought there's a storm coming but it seems just a small alarm. A small fire occured in the hotel kitchen and it triggered the hotel safety warning. Alhamdulillah. Chaotic but luckily nobody was harmed or injured.

Am so kelam kabut that morning! A hotel staff helped me to carry lil' Iman to the hotel car park.

Kids loved the fire engine!

Our next destination was Edinburgh Castle. It's super duper cold and breezy up here. My advice; wear extra clothing. Ticket price is also upon request only. There are a few places of interest inside to visit but you might be unable to bring in your camera to some of them; The Great Hall, National War Museum Scotland, Prisons of War, Royal Palace, Royal Scots Regimental, Scottish National War Memorial, The Crown Room and you can also have the biggest view of Edinburgh, Scotland from the Argyle Battery. That's why most of my pictures were taken outside.
