Honeymoon - London: Highlights

Since London is a big city, most of the time was spent shopping and some sightseeing. 
There were a lot of  museums, churches and historical sites, so we only picked and chose what we were interested cause there were just too many! 

Highlights were:
Warner Bro Studio Tour of the Making of Harry Potter
Oxford day trip
Tour of Windsor Castle, Stonehedge and Bath
I love the city of Bath!  

Oh, and I only watched Harry Potter only when we decided to go for the tour and I did a marathon the night before, all the way to during flight. We didn't sleep because we immediately followed the Finland timing so we can minimise the jet lag. It helps!

Here's my highlights :)  








The butter beer taste great, although I don't know what's the ingredient! I asked, they say it's a secret.













Oh, did you know - The movies that always show the "London Bridge" is actually not London Bridge! It's called Tower Bridge. The bridge opposite this Tower Bridge is London Bridge which is not spectacular.... 

This marks the end of our Honeymoon blogging. This took very long! 
It is definitely a memorable trip and journey with this boy, he obliged to my one-month honeymoon and he took a lot of effort to plan! Thank you! :)

Honeymoon - London: Liverpool Legends Charity Match


One of the highlights that I die die wanted to do was watching a live Liverpool match. So we planned our trip around that only match. 
So, we took a train early in the morning from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street station which is around 2+ hours. Then we toured around the city, mainly the dock area. 
Only did I realised on that day that The Beatles were formed in Liverpool! Being tourist, we took a touristy photo of course... 





After that we had lunch and made our way to Anfield Stadium. There were pre-match activities and when we reached there, there were roadside stalls selling street food and souvenirs. The atmosphere was bustling and hyped! 


We couldn't get the VIP tickets so we bought the best we could... I had goosebumps when the match started because everyone stood up and sang the Liverpool anthem. It was loud and very motivating. It was like NDP except maybe louder.


Soon, the match ended in a blink of an eye. We lingered around to take more photos and savour every moment. 




As we had some time to spare and Everton Stadium was nearby, we decided to walk over and take some photos. 
That was the end of the our day, and we took the train back to downtown. 
It was a memorable experience for me, and I would totally go for another match again if there was a chance!
