Trip Report..... SQ to London

[KapitanE]

As promised previously.... some pictures I took while walking the city of Bristol. This city is walkable... not a big city, most sights could be covered by walking... an old city as I was told... google Bristol and you will have their visit Bristol website where you can read more of it....

 

Out of my hotel, walked pass Queen's Square and this gothic looking church was what I first saw...

 

 

Upon arriving, I learnt of the name...

 

 

Exterior, out of some horror movie...

 

[KapitanE]

Now the interior... I have always been fascinated by old buildings... how much technology was there to build such magnificent structures... not much, but they did it.... once inside, you can obtain a laminated explanation in English or chinese of what's there in the interior....

 

 

Stained glass panels....

 

[KapitanE]

Walking towards the city, I came across signs pointing to the Old City.. and this is what i came across... Castle Park....

 

 

But apparently the castle have been destroyed... reading up on some history, it was said that many ancient building have been destroyed by the bombing blitz by the Nazi during the 2nd world war....

 

This is St Peter's Churh sitting in the middle of the park.., or the remnants of it....

 

 

 

The park, full of green.....

[KapitanE]

Walking along..... here are some shots of the city.....

 

This is the train station, which is named Temple Meads station... so British sounding..

 

Others pictures, while walking... I was in the shopping area, right in the heart, which s called Broadmead....

Finally, my legs are giving way after walking so much... it had been 3 hours plus,..was walking to wards my hotel by the river, when I saw the Tourist Information centre at Harbourside... walking towards it, I saw another old churh building... went into the information centre and they gave me some brochures and I decide cramps or not, I must see that Bristol Cathedral.....

 

Another gothic looking church straight out of some horror movies.... can you hear the pipe organs???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's where the music coming from..... the pipe organ... huge structure..

[KapitanE]

Around the area is the University as well as the City Council (parliament) Building.... longish council building, which my cam cannot shoot everyting in one single frame....

 

Right...

 

Centre

Last picture before ending this series....

 

While in the bus from London to Bristol, a 2.5 hours journey, a little gal was sitting behind me.... she fell asleep... so cute...

me flying up in Nov with family also in A380, checking to see how's the sitting arrangements. enjoy your stay!

Your trips so much better than mine. Still got time to walk around and all developed countries. + business class travel.

 

Mine sucks. Only hotel - office - hotel. Always economy section. Always same country. And the country is the poor poor developing kind. Go also sian 100%. And return flight always red eye flight flying in cattle section.

 

I also pity the crew flying that route.

[Osiris]

alamak, like that take care of half of them. the other half see your body also PM

[KapitanE]

Flying economy, business or suites??

 

For economy, upper deck is preferred by many...

 

For Business, take the most forward cabin,... the most forward toilet is the big full size one...

 

For suites, sorry no experience yet.

 

You can view www.seatguru.com for looking for the best seats....

 

This is the aircraft seat configuration chart...

 

https://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_UK/imag...fo/380/A380.jpg

 

As can see, upper deck Y seats are 2x4x2 and main deck is 3x4x3.... so on upper deck you will not climb over more then one pax at window seats.

family holiday, too expensive to sit business or suit...

thanks for the infros..
