Thankfully remembered to take picture on this day. Taken outside mom-in-law’s house.

We visited Aunt Christine and Uncle Ken in Birmingham. Aunt Chris made us a delicious lunch!

# – Yummies!

It was nice catching up with Aunt Chris, Uncle Ken, Deb and Gracie the Alsation!

After that we visited Gareth’s friend Chiu who owns the chinese takeaway, Wing Sing. Chiu’s family was from Vietnam.

We saw his mom and wife and 2 cute daughters. It was quite funny, his mom who has mild dementia kept telling me that England’s great and that we should move there so that they have more chinese friends and also that I should have 5 babies. Hahahhahahahahhaha.

I didn’t take any picture cause I didn’t want to seem weird. Wish I did.

Then we went home. Me and mom-in-law made Gareth baked scones hehe.

My husband actually makes really good scones. I have blogged about it here.

# – Good hubby and son.
image

We ate the scones with mom’s homemade strawberry jam and store bought clotted cream. None of those nasty fake whipped cream we get in Malaysia.

That was our dinner basically. By midnight we were hankering for a good kebab. We couldn’t miss Worcester Kebab, it is the best kebab in the world in my opinion. I last had it 6 years ago and I never forgot it.

We’ve had kebabs in Paris, London, Australia, Malaysia too but none, and I mean none come close to the awesomeness of Worcester Kebab.

# – Worcester Kebab.

The portion is just ridiculous. The meat so juicy and succulent with the special sauce. Packed with lettuce and jullienced carrots as well as pickled chillies. All served on a soft, fluffy thin bread. Hot damn…

# – Miss it so much!
image

Bad picture, sorry but you can’t take an elegant picture of Worcester Kebab.

After a good nom, we hit the sack.

19th day of #KimGarethEurotrip

This is a cheat because I totally forgot to take picture on this day. Namely cause I was feeling crappy our holiday was ending soon and it was our day in so I was dressed a bit too comfortably.

Hence the delay in posting all my posts for the past week. FML.

This is a reenactment of what I wore lol.

# – Reenactment number 1.
image

T-shirt’s and shorts origin unknown….

========

It’s our day in after an intense day before at Alton Towers.

We hung around at home with mom and chilled.

# – Simple bacon and eggs for lunch by mom. Oh so delicious!
image

We really didn’t do anything so I started taking pictures of my mom-in-law’s house, which is decorated really eccletically.

Love the house, just full of characters!

# – The kitchen window.

# – Ornaments and glasses.

# – Dining table.

Then we ordered dinner from chinese takeaway called Wing Sing, which is owned by Gareth’s friend.

# – Yummy yum yum dindin.
image

We had crispy aromatic duck, chop suey, noodles, chips and curry, spare ribs, salt & pepper squid and hot & sour soup. Too much food lol.

Then I started packing a little bit and went to bed.

18th day of #KimGarethEurotrip

Taken at Alton Towers! Looking like crap but no choice have to post. English cream cakes are making me puffy…

# – Dressed for cold weather but crap it was warm.

Top and trousers from Bangkok. Shoes from Onitsuka Tiger. Bag from YSL perfume.

We went to Alton Towers!!!!

This is one of the trips that I most looked forward to, cause I loveee roller coasters!

We went on almost all the big rides except the “The Smiler” as it was closed :(

Nemesis was awesome but not scary.

# – Nemesis.

# – Part of the track on Nemesis.

image

I think the scariest ride for me was Thir3teen which had quite an ordinary track and cars but when when I thought it had stopped, suddenly the track fell 5 metres down and went backwards in pitch darkness. Walao I really screamed….thought I was going to die.

# – The Oblivion just before plunging into the black hole.

image

Oblivion was pretty good too despite being a pretty old coaster. It was the first in the world to plunge down vertically. My heart did skip a beat on the way down.

We were on Air as well, it felt like we were flying, pretty cool.

Alton Towers is massive! It isn’t just a theme park, it has a beautiful garden too.

We were there until closing time then we left Alton Towers and headed to Stafford for indian food at a place called Panache.

# – Half eaten before I remembered to take a photo. Delicious!

image

Then we drove home and stopped by Tesco 24 hours on the way to grab some snacks.

Used a self-service cashier for the first time. Pretty nifty.

# – Look ma no people!

Got home and knocked out straightaway.
