Back from Europe Trip

Category: farewell, travel, vacation

I’m currently blogging from London at sis’s place, which is our last destination before heading home in another 10 more days. There are 3 more relatives from Ray’s side to visit and then we’ll be done and home we come.

Seriously, we haven’t stopped running since we quitted our job almost a month ago. First there were several leaving dos with colleagues and friends and lots of drinking. Before I know it we were already on the plane heading for our Europe trip.

It was a fabulous trip, first time being a backpacker wasn’t easy at all but it was a hell of an experience. My rugsack weighed about 25kgs and I’m still recuperating from sore shoulders, Ray was laughing at me throughout the trip whenever I was carrying the rugsack cos he said he was struggling to see my head from the back and it looked as if a spooky bag was walking on its own. haha. but not so funny.

Anyway. My favourite place? It has to be Chamonix of France, nothing beats the feeling of being on top of the world at the summit nearest to Mont Blanc.

Worst place? You’ll be surprised.

Rome was supposedly a really nice historical city and we’ve been longing to visit Rome for a very long time and therefore, we’ve stayed there for 4 nights hoping to see the city more thoroughly. But sadly, it was a big disappointment as it turned out. The place was notoriously overcrowded, it didn’t help even we tried to go back to those famous spots in the night to avoid the crowd.

Trevi fountain was magnificient but it wasn’t as romantic as it claimed in many movies. We struggled hard to find a seat to sit down and to enjoy the view and when we finally managed to squeeze into a small corner, then there was a crowd of Indian sellers trying their best to block our views by standing in front of us unless if we buy an item from them. It was really intimidating. Some of the locals there were really rude and the worst was how we almost got mugged on a busy street and only managed to escape the ordeal by me hitting the bitch’s hand who tried to steal the wallet out of Ray’s pocket. And I was yelling like a mad woman on a busy street.

Besides that, we visited the Vatican City the day before the Pope passed away. The Sistine Chapel? Absolutely splendid.

Will try to write more about the trip later. By the way, thanks for the birthday wishes. It was a very normal day, just the way I liked it.
