SOUTHEND SEA SIDE LONDON

On a small beach , such a good  infrastructure has been built , to develop it into a tourist  attraction. Casinos , Amusement Park , hotels , Restaurants , Latest Toilets , lot of car parking space , inside sea a small  train  to see and feel  sea  in center ,  and above everything  less crowd.  These all make it a good place to pass a week end.

GOLF -LONDON

In this sprawling   city there is abundance of greenery  and so many Parks but what makes it more attractive is it's  Golf Courses. They  are quite few , quite large and well laid out.  I got opportunity to visit few of  them and their lay out , facilities   etc  appears quite adequate though I am " Na-balad" in this regard or one can say quite ignorant.

GENTS BELGIUM

In Sept. it is really good over here. One can walk comfortably under Sun  in any Clothing of his choice.Sun light  feels good  and even in shadow if you sit for a while on a bench you can relax as chill factor is not there . It is what we say over there Suhaana "

LONDON TO BELGIUM BY ROAD

अबकी  ये सोचा की बेल्जियम  सड़क  से जाया  जाए  . लन्दन में विक्टोरिया  स्टेशन से  यूरो-लाइंस की बस पकड़ी और हवाई जहाज़ के  सफ़र  की तरह  BOARDING PASS   और  LUGGAGE TAG  MIL GAYA  और  सफ़र  शुरू हो  गया   दिलचस्प  मोड़  तब  लगा  जब  हमारी  बस  एक  ट्रेन  पर सवार  होकर  BRITISH CHANNEL  TUNNEL  पार करती  है  और  हम  फ्रांस में  फिर  बस  ट्रेन  से  उतर  कर  सड़क  पर  आ  जाती  है.  और  दौडने लगती है


We traveled from London to Gents by Eurolines UK  Bus.  People overhere may learn a lot how to run a smooth and comfortable Bus travel by methodical way.


Ghents  a city in Belgium , I find that their reputation & fame is overshadowed by their cousins in Europe. Otherwise this city has got all the infrastructure , which a metropolitan city may boost .They have got all the facilities and qualities which we love those coming from smaller cities of developing nations. But there noise , crowd , traffic , everything is within limit . Here it is comfortable to walk on road , to cross the road . People are friendly , though language poses a little problem as English is not as much helpful as in UK but one can go through it. But general atmosphere is cool , here one feel relaxed all the time.

GREENWAY LONDON

In the London , they have maintained the Greenway across the London City for Morning Walker , Joggers , Pedestrians  or Cyclist only. These are very long, quite wide , full of greenery  , well maintained . Their opening & closing Hours are maintained. Really it is very relaxing to have a morning walk  along Greenway. We almost daily cover 4 Kms  in the morning along Greenway. Dogs are allowed but should be leashed & their litter is to be removed by the Pet Owner and to be placed in 
Litter Box meant for the same.

These Stones are fixed on the Road to identify the Greenway.

BOX FOR DOG WASTE


Above are Boxes specially placed for putting in the Dog Waste only.

WESTFIELD

In the West Field  Mall said to be biggest in Europe  , which is adjacent to Stratford Tube Railway Station. I saw the real big crowd. These have been prepared for the next year  Olympic  and they all are already functional and smaller discrepancies are being ironed out . I just remember our CWG preparation  and hope in future we would not repeat such mistakes.


Here in the Mall  there was big Crowd since this Mall was opened three days back only.

So visit to this Great Mall was worth . We all enjoyed it.  These are show pieces of modern consumerism and flourishing well.  You can see here all the international Brands including our Jaguar (Tata).

GREEN GATE {PLAISTOW] LONDON

I am staying at Green Gate and here is one market on Green Street{FOREST GATE]    where 100% Shops are from Asians and by their name one would feel that he is in Lucknow ,  Kanpur etc. such as PAKEEZA JWELLERS , KHANA KHAZANA , ROOPA , NAYAAB ETC. There is a famous sweet shop also with name AMBALA sweet shop so on . Here Grocery Shop and all others are well stocked . Even in this season Kachcha Aam was available.

UK-visit

Journey starts from New Delhi  Metro  Railway Station for Airport Metro Express. Station outside needed lot of finishing , cleaning , maintenance and so many other things. But inside it was all World Class , best and you can feel proud that you have got now World class facilities. It takes 18 minutes from New Delhi to reach Terminal 3 of IGIA  , a pretty good saving of time with all the facilities and comforts.. I saw Terminal 3 first time from inside , it is really good and world class. Since I was  an early bird I relaxed inside and in Lounge all sort of facilities including Duty Free Shopping and Food Courts were available. I opted for our own Idli & Bada in relaxed atmosphere. Then at 04.10 AM my journey to Moscow started and reached there after approx 6 Hours. For changing the Flight I have to shift from Ter. F to Ter, D. At my age and being novice it was a tougher part of journey to search the Ter. D and Gate 18 with my Wife so the Quotation




.The devil himself had probably redesigned Hell in the light of information he had gained from observing airport layouts.


Any how reached Heathrow at 12.30 PM  and thereafter there was a long long Que at Immigration Counter and it almost took one hour to reach the Desk where Officer inquired whether you have come on Holiday. Not at all at my age we simply visit to meet our near & dear . Here we would meet our brother and his family and stay for 11 day only and then move to Belgium to meet my son . 


So  the first leg of my 43 days journey has commenced. We are here comfortable and relaxed. Since my brother -in-law is a retired civil servant like me , we have got plenty of time to exchange our experiences and little tit bits.
