righto.. went on a day trip to look for the shopping village named clarks village.
Reached victoria station( yes another station) 7 am. but that's just the train station. the coach station is behind that train station depending on how u look at it.
using this bus. an old double decker.
back to the station.
saw my bus.. ( or so i thought was my bus )
and then went to find the washroom. saw a spectacular sight. will report that later.
then went back to look for my bus to go as it was supposed to be 8 am.
found out my bus wasnt the one i saw.
it was this one.
$"£%"&%£"^"$!£$!£"$!£"$!"$^%£$&%$*&^ okies.. wasted breath.. lol got on it.
found that there werent that many ppl on the bus.
Went on the bus. the bus left at 8am sharp.
was taking a few pictures here and there.. and then SUDDENLY some guy asked me to take a picture of his necklace.
i asked him waht was it.. he said it was a nice symbol.
erm.. so i took it..
here's the pic.
somebody enlighten me on what is that ?
anyways, i stuck on a pair of headfones on the nokia. and went to take a nap.
easier than entertaining him.
and then ahhh.. i hear him calling me.. hey hey.. take a picture take a picture ..
i said huh ? he pointed to a mosque along the way.. ask me to take.. saying it was a nice picture.. and told me that it wasnt a mosque.. it was a temple.
that does it.. i said thank you politely and then made sure i stuffed my ears with enough tissues and headphones so i couldnt hear anything . shut my eyes.. and went on taking a nap.. he didnt disturb me after that.
Reached bristol about 1030am.
asked the tourist info counter where to take bus to clarks. they say 376/375 to yeowvil. i think. so walked to the bus stop. took the bus down to clarks. arrived there. walked around in a rush as i do not have enough time to look at all the shops. my mistake.
hehe anyways, finished up at about 330pm. took the bus back to bristol. rode the megabus ( damn hot) all the way back to london at 6pm. saw the guy again. sat on the bottom deck. didnt want to see him again. arrived back in victoria at 8.40pm.
took dinner at CCK buffet china town.
okies. basic summary.
bus london to bristol by megabus cost: £2.50 ( 1 pound one way and 50p booking fee) Time taken to travel : 2.5 hours one way.
from bristol to clarks return : £6.50 ( £3.25 one way) bus stop is after grey friars in bristol. route number 376. time taken to travel : 1.5 hours.
if in doubt walk along the st. to find the tourist centre. there were really helpful.
it seemed like bristol was living at a slower pace than london. but nice nonetheless.
spent :
trimmer. £24
t shirt : £12
some gifts: £2
that's all :P
quite easy to go therre.. but time consuming. i will try to do an overniter next time if i go somewhere far by bus..
