Bekonscot Village & London Eye

DEDUA tempat ni dah penah pegi. Dedua tempat pun dah lebih 3 kali pegi. Cuma hat London Eye tu adik sorang ja yg tak penah naik lagi, so bila ada kelapangan ini boleh lah bawa adik ke situ. Kakak pun excited sama apatah lagi sedari awal minggu lagi sudah berjanji nak bawa naik big giant ferries wheel. Sebab dah janji seawal minggu makanya hari hari lah dia bertanya pasal benda yg sama.

Adik mencari choo choo train...
Tu dia choo choo train...

Sebenarnya pada pagi Sabtu tu lepas sahaja rutin badminton aku, kami berbelah bagi samada nak pegi ke zoo atau Bekonscot Model Village ini? Tapi memandangkan tetiba mummy teringin pulak nak pegi carboot dulu, so the best option would be the village since the carboot sale is just along the way. Cepat2 mandi dan siap siap kami pun bertolak lah.
.

Cantik kawasan ni... bess spot. Aku suka!
.
Baru je jejalan kat carboot sale hujan mula turun, Lucky it was only drizzling, kalau lebat macam kat tempat kita tatau la where shall we scurry? Carboot ni as you all know, di buat di padang yang luas terbuka, there was no marquee or what so ever, in fact i dont even see any big trees should we need to get a respite from the rain. Tadak benda pun yg nak di cari di sini. Sebab dah kerap sangat datang dah tak tahu nak beli apa, as usual we end up buying toys for kakak & adik. Bila masuk balik ke motorway M40, magiknya terus hujan berenti, serta merta. Canteeek sangat lah kan. The last time we visited this place was when Mak and Uncle Dwen came here for vacation, adik was merely 1 year old masa tu. This time around adik dah besar dan lagi lah dia appreciate benda2 dlm tu especially the few choo choo trains that tracking here and there in the model village compound. Kakak pulak spend almost half of the visit sleeping on the push chair, sampaikan time kami lunch pun dia masih nyenyak sakan.

Kakak dah jaga dah....

Kejap bertopi kejap berpayung... hot hot hot... komplen nya... huhuhuhuu....

Bekonscot Model Village ni telah di bina pada tahun 1929 oleh seorang lelaki bernama Rolland Callingham, yg asalnya hanyalah sebuah hobi saja. So tahun ni diorang akan celebrate their 80th anniversary, so sesapa nak join pi lah dalam bulan Ogos ni kalau tak silap. Tentu banyak acara yg diorang akan buat. Katanya ini lah the oldest model village in the World. Kalau bawa bebudak seronok tengok gelagat diorang. Kalau yg dewasa pun bess jugak. Cuma nya kalau dah banyak kali pi excitement dia tu takde sebess the 1st time datang, biasalah tu...

Tangkap dari atas... nampak hampir keseluruhan kawasan Bekonscot Model Village ini...

Esoknya bawa kakak ngan adik naik London Eye. Ticket beli awal thru internet ada diskaun sikit. Excited lah 2 beradik ni bila tengok Big Giant Ferries Wheel depan mata. Sementara nak tunggu giliran kami lepak lepak kat playground area dan aku cam biasa snap snap gambo...
.
Mummy nak posing juga....
Adik ngan kakak tengah kusyuk main meniti tali di mini playground bawah London Eye ni...

London Eye ni tadak apa yg nak diceritakan sebab nya dah penah pun tulis pasal ni tak silap dulu. Cuma lepas tu lepak2 tengok street artis yang very creative with all sorts of talent which i dont think i could see (at least not yet) in our place back home. Ada yg berdiri tegak exactly like a statue, their body, faces & costumes were all painted with colours like gold, white, blue etc and they pose rigidly, never move not even a bit until someone drop a coin(s) in the mug or hat they placed infront of them. As token of appreciation they will act, sing, dance etc and allow you to take photo as well.

Satu capsule share reramai...
2 beradik yang excited dapat naik London Eye...
Lawak lah rambut adik masa ni... :D

Menarik lah... but adik and kakak were scared apatah lagi when they abruptly move when u place the coin. Mengejutkan jugak lah bagi sesetengah budak jadi kami tak 'derma' apa pun... cuma adik was excited when he saw mickey mouse and was even more elated when i took his picture with the mickey mouse tiruan tu. Kakak pulak, malu malu.. siap hiding behind daddy ni bila nampak Mickey Mouse. Since they have been watching the mickey mouse club house tu almost every day, somehow those characters in that disney channel seem very much closer to their heart. And kakak really thought the mickey mouse knows her and that explains her immediate respond hiding behind daddy ni, hahahaa...
.

Mickey Mouse tiruan...
Lawa plak grafiti diorang ni... sini tempat bebudak main skate board.
.
We spend almost half a day at that area, pekena ais krim bawah pokok sambil pekena karipap yg Sue ada bagi. Tengok org buat free show - dance, sing, main skate board etc. Org punya lah ramai and where these people come from pun tatau lah and i bet they must have asked the very same questions themselves, agaknya lah... ahak. Oke, so itu je lah update kali ni.
.
Candid. Lepak bawah pokok pekena aiskrim... yummy.
.
La rasa malas betoi nak update, ntah napa, sibuk sangat dengar lagu micheal jackson, hahahaa... If you wanna make the World a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change katanya dalam lagu Man In the Mirror. Nak sedekah alfatehah pun serba salah... Islam ke dia?
.
Chiow...
