Holiday Part 3 - London & Old Trafford
Third Stop:
London + Manchester (Old Trafford)Yep!! London! We are here because of Belinda my best pal. I have been wanting to visit her in London. Though it was a short stay, we had fun....at the Roast Duck stall, walking along Oxford St, going crazy at Primark (ahem), cooking teriyaki salmon don, watching The Lion King Musical & preparing food for picnic, posing with the happy frog mug (where both Derek and Belinda were pulled in to pose with the mug. HAHA.
Shall not bore u with those touristy photos. Just a few...
Buckingham Palace
Apple Store @ Covent Garden

Just opposite Borough Market.
And of course a day at Old Trafford :)

Holiday Part 2 - Iceland
Second Stop:
Iceland aka Island
A land of ice and fire! A population of about 320,000 in a 103,000 km2 land. More than half its population resides in the capital and its largest city - Reykjavik. Iceland is a part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and it is still forming new oceanic crust.
This is the farthest country we have or will ever travel, so we are pretty excited to see what is in store for us. I must say it felt like a National Geographic tour.
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
Strokkur Geyser, which erupts every 5–10 minutes
Horse riding across the lava field.
And photo below is my horse grazing in the meadow. (Spot Derek in the background?)
Lava rock
Icelandic fish baked with potatoes + cheese.
Served with rye breads and salad.
More rye breads ... and cured Shark meat (small white cubes).
Acquired taste.
This is my fav part of the trip - Glacier Lagoon!
God's majestic creation.

Holiday Part 1 - Norway
It’s been awhile since we last blog. Life has been exciting. Just that we are lazy in blogging. Thanks to YOG, my campus was closed for the month of August, which means extra week to relax & enjoy! So here are some picture of our 2-weeks holiday in Norway, Iceland and London.
These posts are going to be brief (very brief). More pictures available in Derek's facebook.
First Stop:
NORWAYNorway is a place filled with inspiring architecture, beautiful fjords, mountains and coastal scenery. We love it!
One of UNESCO World Heritage Site - Bryggen
Sunset in Bergen. It was 9.50pm!
One of the fjords in Norway
Flam - A small town surrounded by steep mountainsides, waterfalls and deep valleys.
Salmon Salad (with lots of scrimps) cost S$30, exp but very shiok.
Things here are expensive (in comparison to Sg) A bottle of mineral water cost us S$5... It's atas real mountain water! hahaha
