Durham Durham

Over the weekend, Crystal and I had represented Edin Uni in a female BUCS (dunno wat it stands for) table tennis tournament.
Durham is a quaint, beautiful little town... with a river running through it..shops are smaller, streets are narrower :)
Ice coated the grounds, setting a trap for careless victims (not me! muahaha.. but nearly slipped countless times). looks pretty... but it wont feel pretty when u slide and fall :P

Even the tennis court was coated with ice!

The pic below shows part of Durham Uni campus where we played...


At night we walked to the city for dinner.. christmas deco there is not bad! had a delicious meal in the pub 'Market Tavern'The best thing about Durham is it houses the Cathedral which was filmed in Harry Potter.. thats right.. Its very own HOGWARTS!!! It was AMAZING inside! too bad we weren't allowed to take pictures.. it was absolutely beautiful :') and best of all... FREEEEEE





Looks familiar doesn't it? like one of the corridors filmed in HP


After, we went to the christmas market just outside the cathedral.. soo many things are being sold there.. sorta like a 'pasar malam' :P


My pork pie!

It was really worth the trip, and we didnt do too bad in the tourney as well.. we managed to qualify as the top 2 teams! weeee....
