Super duper delayed post about my trip to Plymouth =P
It all seemed so perfectly planned by God that I was able to join Mel to this sunny place during the Easter weekend =) how funny it was when I recalled the time she taught me how to pronounce Plymouth.. *Angelene, we learnt something new noh hehehe*
 |
| welcome to Plymouth! |
As it was still quite early in the afternoon to check in our hotel, we walked around the city and the port for sightseeing and pics....finally get to see the coast of UK!
 |
| Ta-dah!! |
After dropping in the tourist information centre (took us quite some time to find it) for some information about cruises, we quickly jumped in to one of the boats for a short cruise, just in time as we were the last 2 passengers on board!
 |
| *Mel and moi* |
Reached this beach called Cawsand but we didn't get down as our boat was the last boat to get us back to Plymouth. It was relaxing to just enjoy the calmness and coolness of the sea breeze as well as the warm sun =)

We were quite hungry when we got back to Plymouth as we didn't have lunch (we had Mel's cupcakes in the train). We wanted to try the seafood and hence we searched for a nice restaurant....quite worth it though slightly pricey than average, but it was really delicious and yummmmyyyyy
 |
| starter - mixed seafood |
 |
| another starter: fried mackerel |
 |
| can't remember what's this called....but it's got LOTS of fish and scallops and prawns and crab meat |
 |
| mussels |
Took a bus to our hotel after dinner and spent the night watching a comedy on TV.
And breakfast provided the next morning....English breakfast! (same goes for the second day, and together with the previous morning in Bristol I had English breakfast for 3 consecutive days!)
 |
| nom nom nom |
Went to explore more of Plymouth after breakfast.
 |
| hello =) |
 |
| hugssss |

Our main aim that day was actually the National Marine Aquarium, largest aquarium in UK!
 |
| UK's largest aquarium! |

Had tea break/lunch after our visit as we wanted to try out the Devonshire tea...
 |
| Devonshire tea with scones, and we also ordered fish soup |
Took the Cremyll Ferry over to Cornwall to visit Mount Edgcumbe estate and spent the lazy afternoon there =P
 |
| =D |
Evening came and time to get back to Plymouth...we walked around the Barbican area again and found this restaurant that claimed to be the best restaurant in Plymouth, there's certificates on its door!
 |
| starter - deep fried chicken fingers |
 |
| spaghetti with beef |
 |
| lamb shanks |
It was a great weekend getaway....a fun 3D2N well spent with my hometown friend, it's nice to catch up and share our stories of our hometown and school days =D *
Mel told me that I almost explored all 东南西北 of UK dy....hahaha*
