What to do in Darlington located in the North East of England? Why not spend an afternoon watching a musical, comedy, drama, and more. You can do that at Darlington Hippodrome (Parkgate, Darlington DL1 1RR, United Kingdom). It’s an an Edwardian theatre. At the same time, you can learn about the history of the place and theatre performances in the mini galleries located inside the building too.

I was fortunate enough to catch the Cirque – The Greatest Show on 17th August 2024 when I was in the England. It’s certainly an interesting experience. It’s my first time watching such performance.

Certainly worth it to plan a visit here if you don’t feel like exploring around. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show for an afternoon. The building itself is a history of its own dated back to 1907. You can check out what they are showing on the official website. One thing though… Do not expect it to be grand or big. It’s quite small and good enough to avoid big crowd if you dislike crowds.

This year’s UK trip, we managed to visit Beamish Open Air Musuem, a museum located in Durham county. It is not your typical museum. It’s a living museum. A great place for the young and old to visit. A lot to learn and experience there.

One day is certainly not enough. It took 2 days to cover the whole museum. However, if you really want to scrutinize everything there, you’ll need more days. Good thing is that the entrance fee is valid for a year. You can go as many time as you want. So, if you’re local, it will be worth it.

Since we’re there during the summer, it’s not that cold in there. However, from the car park to the entrance, it’s quite windy and cold! Now, it’s already autumn. If you’re not from the UK or any four-season countries, you’ll need to keep warm. The place is in the countryside.

I didn’t take many photos and videos as planned. I was too distracted and overwhelmed. There were too many people around too. Even those photos or video that I manage to take, they all turned out ugly. hence, there isn’t many photos or video that I could share. Oh well…

However, I’m glad that I get to visit this award-winning museum. It’s really an eye-opener. Personally, I felt that it’s not quite possible for us here to do such scale of tourist attraction in Sarawak. We’re not there yet. What do you think?

As some of you know, I was away for almost a month in August for summer holiday in England. Traveling from KCH-KUL-DOH-MAN with Malaysia Airlines and Qatar Airways. It was eventful in addition with long hours of travel.

All you need to get into such troubles is having your first flight sector cancelled by the airline. Then, all hell broke loose! At least we were automatically changed to an earlier flight from KCH to KUL so that we could catch our connecting flight at 9pm at KLIA. Anything in between and after, you can read it below. What’s most important was we arrived our destination safely.

The story is long. However, I’ve documented my encounters on my Instagram already. Hence, you can read them here as I compile them now in one post.

There you go! Congratulations! You’ve read the whole ordeal. Thanks for reading till the end 😉 However, the trip post has just started. I’m not sure how long will it take me this time to complete my summer holiday post for 2024 though… Last year it took me till the next year to finish the post.

Lastly, fell free to follow me on my Instagram to get the latest updates as I update there daily.
