A Visit To Imperial War Museum, London

TUBE RIDE TO LONDON took almost an hour, I slept during the whole journey and only woke up when we reached the station, Elephant & Castle.... wevwalked a bit to our destination, that is the War Imperial.  The big man is interested in all the museums related to war and we are just observers/followers.  Entrance is free, that is a good thing... and we spent nearly two hours in the museum, yes, only a short time.  He was quite disappointed, not sure why... but the one who is more interested in knowing more turned out to be Aaron.  We ended up waiting for him to come down... he spent quire some time on third level watching the videos of the holocaust that happened during the world wars... and it was kind of depressing, he said...
Took the name of this place in case I forgot where we went.... 
(It helps especially when I am going to write the posts long after... )
As we walked to War Imperial Museum... 
And here it is.... 
Closer angle... 
Two giant cannons... 
Real giant alright... 
In front the building we are going to enter...
Upon entering, this is what we saw....
The war planes.... 
Vehicles used...
Real cars used during war times... 
Upper level looking down... 
And a bit of this and that.... 
Really not into these museums... 
It is kind of depressing... 
That is why I did not survey all the three levels... 
Maybe I was too tired to, anyway...

    Quite honestly, I would be bored at this museum since I am not into war and war machines. But to those who have interest, this would be a place that they should visit.

    The building is huge and very pretty. I am not very big on war things. But I do like this doll house, what is it supposed to be?

    I like museum but not into wars and I don't like to watch the holocaust. Probably the museum not up to your bil expectation? I much prefer looking at the miniature houses and their interior.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
