Splashing @ Alton Tower Water Theme Park

Weekend lepas kmi bawa two kiddo ni g mandi manda di theme park, nak mandi di pantai, cuaca 2-3 minggu ni asyik hujan la, mendung ja... matahari pun kejap2 cerah, tup..tup hujan.. huhu, ingat da frust da xjadi nak g swimming kat theme park ni, rupanya ada indoor & outdoor.. hehhe, lega, klu x mmg cancel la, kna tukar plan cam gitu. Pejalanan dr umah kmi ke Alton Tower Theme Park ni dlm 1jam 30minit, yg syoknye klu nak g jenjalan mana2 semunya bgantung harap pd GPS, so ikutttt je mna dia kata sampe la 'arrived at ur destination'.. kali ni GPS ni agak pening2 lalat sikit, 2 kali dia patah balik, dr 1jam 30 minit, jadi sampe 2jam lebih br nak sampe.. huhu, yela dia bw kmi masuk jln kampung, lorong kecik mna ntah, then naik gunung turun gunung, jln liku2 mgalahkan genting highland.. tp pemandangan sepjg pejalanannya.... cantikkk yg teramat sgt, cukup indah, speechless! Mmg la i kata jln kampung, tp bknye ada tanah merah, lumpur kotor semua tu... malah jauh lebih cantik, english country gitu, i cam nak singgah je mna2 rumah yg ada di ladang biri2/ kuda/ lembu, nak tumpang minum teh dlm cawan 'old country roses'...ahaks! Tp sayang i xsempat nak amik pic, yela terlalu asyik sgt tgk scenery tu sampe xingat nak pegang kamera da.. hahhahaaaaa. Two kiddo ni sampe tetido, boring kot cuaca lak mendung, suhu lebih kurang 10C, angin pun kuat so lg bertambah sejukkk.

Kami sampe dlm kol 12 tghari, mmg cun2 lapar.. heheee, kali ni i xbawa bekal, singgah beli kat Tesco je, mkn pasta tuna, roti, buah & jus. Masa masuk dlm theme park tu, sunyi semacam je, biar btoi xkan tutup kot, skali da sampe tempat car park dia br nampak keta, tp xbyk sgt.. mybe cuaca xpanas cam selalu, so ramai prefer spent masa kat umah @ indoor xtiviti.. kmi pun kejutkan two kiddo ni, pening2 lalat, ciannn.. sedap sungguh tido dlm car seat, cam dibuai2 gitu.. ehehe.


* Da sampaiiiii!! *

Then bila da jalan sampe ke main entrance water theme park tu, xjauh pun dr car park tu cuma sign board xde..mm yg ada sign board 'Theme Park' & 'Golf'.. mmm, so kena la tanya pekerja kat situ, rupanya hujung skali, kira car park paling hujung skali, hehhe..

Then da abis posing2 amik pic & layan two kiddo ni, kmi trus g cari tempat mkn yg best ckit, da janji gan Aqil nak mkn KFC, so kna tunaikan la, asyik tgk iklan menu baru, mna le tahan.. hasihhh.. KFC halal paling dekat kat Stoke On Trent, lebih kurang 30 minit dr Alton Tower Theme Park, skang ni waktu siang agak panjang, so time cam gini best g jenjalan, kol 9 malam still cerah lagi... hheheee, lgpun summer is around da corner, mmm lagi panjang waktu siang ni. KFC halal xsilap i di Stoke ni ada 2 branch je, so kmi g yg paling dekat ni kat Festival Heights Retail Park, Stoke On Trent.. kawasan ni ada outlet shopping cth CURRYS, ESPORTA Health & Fitness, Halfords dll. Di situ juga ada John Baskeyfield memorial statue (John "Jack" Daniel Baskeyfield VC (18 November 1922 – 20 September 1944) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces. Born in 1922, Baskeyfield initially became a butcher but was called up to the army in 1942. He served with the 2nd Battalion, South Staffordshire Regiment, an airlanding unit of the 1st Airborne Division, in Sicily and Italy in 1943 before returning to the United Kingdom - WIKIPEDIA SOURCE). Selain tu, Stoke On Trent also considered to be the home of the pottery industry in England, coz asalnya tempat ni dr dulu lagi wujudnya tanah liat & batu arang so dr situ juga wujudnya kilang2 membuat pottery sampe la skrang ni:). Mmg syurga membeli belah potteries la kat sini, kebanyakkan brand potteries spt Royal Albert, Queen Anne, Royal Doulton, Portmeirion dll ada disini dgn harga yg jauh lebih murah dr tempat lain, klu di Malaysia mencecah ribu ribuan set2 pinggan mangkuk ni.. i pun da stat gila bayang tgk set2 pinggan & coffee/ tea set, teramat la cantik & sesuai klu nak wat souvenir utk sedara mara & kwn2 di Msia, mmg xtermampu nak beli di Msia.. huhu. Tp kebanyakkan potteries ni dibuat dr 'bone china' (means ada bahan b***, so kita mmg xle guna, mybe utk hiasan bole la) cthnye Royal Albert.. huhu i minat sgt 'Old Country Roses' Royal Albert tu, berpinar2 mata tgk, klu beli pun utk hiasan je la, hias dlm display cabinet kaler putih, wow cun tue! i like!
