Back from 15days trip!




















Back from the 15days trip! This time, Newcastle - Paris(incl. Disneyland)- Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland- Avignon - Nice - Pisa - Florence - Rome - Venice - London - Newcastle.

Nice trip but it ended with a series of unpleasant, of course, unforeseen events. Sincerely apologise for any unwanted events occurred. Traveling is indeed all about experiencing the unpredicted event. We met fantastic and special people and couples, to equalise, the bad could happen. All are part of the travel experience. During the travel, I lost many things, my expensive toner was forfeited, I ever broke my favorite Lumix camera and travel the rest of the days without DC (thanks HW SE HP camera!) etc. After all, it's a travel experience. Try to ease a bit. At least, we are safe and all are in one piece.

I bet we learnt a lot from the trip.

Without the travel, I wont know that Topdeck is an excellent tour to follow,for the age 18-35 only. Although pitching tent could be hassle, particularly in the horrible raining days, but it's memorable and fun. I just dislike the speedy touch and go for each city, otherwise, its great to follow them, no worries for where to sleep, what to eat and where to go!!

Without the travel, I wont know that the cleanliness, the comfortable, the ease and peace of SG MRT system beat all.

Without the travel, I wont know that London is undoubtedly one of the best cities to explore and travel. London keeps its tradition while modernise the system perfectly, tonnes better than Paris and Rome. I love the poems in the underground, all poems are different at different cabins!

Without the travel, I wont know that French are distinguishably proud and arrogant, in many ways. I wont that French are poorly hygienic. I wont know that French are born with romantic genes! I wont know that night in Florence can be much more romantic than Paris!

Without the travel, I wont know that Switzerland offers the most breathtaking scenery and the peacefulness is the best in the Europe! No doubt, Swiss is the country of peace! Facebook test is accurate that i should hold Swiss nationality!haha!!

Without the travel, I wont know that Europe has so much to offer and UK remains the best city to travel, in terms of the cost, comfortable, safety and weather at the same season, though each city presents their unique cultures and architectures.

Without the travel, I wont know that under 26 is really a cost saving group to travel in the Europe, particularly in Paris and Rome. Age is not a matter in Holland as their students/youngsters are majorly working during schooling.

I have a lot more to share, but I think I should rest my mind and body after the 7.5hrs of coach ride from London.

I love London and also UK after coming back from under maintain Europe countries. UK still does the best to maintain the tradition, the comfort, the safety and security, and the quality of life for locals and tourists. Oops, one bad thing is that London map needs to be purchased at £2-3. So far, Amsterdam, Venice, London are the Europe cities I came across that need to purchase maps! As a budget traveler, we definitely did not spend a penny on maps!

Ciao! (learn few french and italy words!!haha!!)
