3 weeks in exact.
In these 3 weeks, we travelled on plane, bus, train, ferry, and of course on our trusty two legs all over west Europe. Tired but happy, we have finally finished our Euro trip, safe and soundly.
Shall not write like a diary style about what happened in those 22 days but I will try to make it more on insights on my travel...
Firstly just a collection of a representative picture of each of the places that we travelled :) (very hard choices as I took almost 2000 photos. See my facebook for more pictures:P)
First Stop: LONDON
Our must-do thing in London this time round was to catch a musical which we didn't the other time round as we had to leave by night that time. So we caught the Tailor Made Man which was a very new musical that was not as famous as the other musicals in London like Wicked and Phantom of the Opera but nonetheless a very good musical. It was about 2 gay lovers in the old Hollywood times and the ups and downs of their lives while living in the public eye. Something that you probably will never see in Singapore probably.
We sure couldn't sing like in a musical but being in the rain is something we did a lot throughout our time in Euro. |
Second Stop: WINDSOR, BATH and STONEHENGE
While still in England, we took a student tour to go see the must see sights of the land of the English.
Windsor was where the queen stay during the weekends (she was there when we went but of course we didn't see here) and it was a lovely castle and a beautiful park at the back of the castle that was opened to public.
Bath is the only place in Great Britain with natural hot spring and even though we really wanted to, we didn't go soak in the water that proclaims such mythical capabilities (dun they all do :P)
But the greatest sight of all was the Stonehenge... why they hell would somebody but rocks standing in the middle of the field???
it was FREEEEEZZZZZZZZZIIIINNNNNNGGGG!!! |
Third Stop. AMSTERDAM
SEX.DRUGS.WINDMILLS.PANCAKES.BICYCLES.
"EXTREMELY Windy weather" - from someone living in Aberdeen and from Singapore. |
Fourth Stop: PARIS
Super touristy by day. Most romantic city in the world by night. Most smelly subway i have ever been to.
Night paranoma of Paris from Sacré-Cœur |
Fifth Stop: ROME
You feel like you are time travelling back to the past as you seek out the ruins and ancient buildings of the roman empire. BELLISSIMO and DELISIOZO! My
Don't ask how much I paid for this photo haha |
Sixth Stop: VENICE
Water city. The only place in the world where I know everybody takes water transportation to get around town (you have to). Also the only place in the world where I look forward to see it flood (aqua alta).
Don't miss out me in the picture! |
Seventh Stop: INNSBRUCK
Snowsports capital with FREE ski buses to all the ski chalets in the alps which are all maximum half an hour away. The most adrenaline pumping part of my trip!
Better snow than in Scotland definitely~ |
Eight Stop: MUNICH
BMW, Audi, Mercedes. Everywhere.
Beer. Beer halls. Beer gardens. Everywhere
Prost! |
Ninth Stop: AUSBURG, ROTHERBURG, WURSBURG, FRANKFURT, MAINZ, KOBLENZ, KOLN
Scenic train ride along the romantic road from Munich to Frankfurt.
Scenic train ride along the middle of the rhine river from Frankfurt to Cologne.
Beautiful! (I am talking about the scenery of course!) |
TENTH STOP: ABERDEEN
It was great to be back in english land.
It was much warmer than we left.
Seeing the familiar street, familiar faces, familiar room and bed (even though it was dirty).
HOME SWEET HOME.
