The Real Honeymoon bliss to Europe!































Wow! sooooo fast been a month since i am back to this bleargh place called Singapore. Wish i am back in Switzerland enjoying the beautiful snow and cold cold weather.

Where do i start? Am sooooo happy my dear V had decided to bless me with this trip, its almost the trip that will never happen. We had always talk about it but never really put our mind to it. Coz you know Europe do not come cheap. So viola... after V's bonus, he went to book the tour package from Dynasty.

Initial take was to live dangerously and go F&E. But after checking and planning decided to screw it and just go with the tour. I thought tour packages will be hectic and unexciting. BUT we were pleasantly surprised with our tour. The peeps were great and our tour guide - Mr David Soh is indeed one of a kind. All in all we had our fair share of fun and WOEs!!!
As you can see from below, it seems jam packed but it was really enjoyable. The bestest time we had were in Switzerland. The image of snow falling and me tasting snow, it was truly amazing. Plus we had a Swiss Alps mountain spa, its totally cool. Imagine the cold air surrounding you and you are almost half naked in the midst of the snow mountains. How cool is that.
Though the trip did end on a sad note but i guess i just have to really truly remember each and every moments. Well put it plainly ...our Rome hotel room was burgled into on the last night of the tour. So we lost our cash (lucky NOT the passports) + my beloved camera containing 2500 pictures. Well thinking about it which is worst, us sleeping through the entire episode or you would rather wake up and face the burglers (risking that the burglers might have guns or knife).

I don't know. But am sure glad to have found some kool and like-minded tourmates. And now we are planning for our next adventure (though we do have a BIGGER adventure - like having kids). Oh well shall see how it goes. Be natural right....if it happens it happens...

Oh well almost a month...you can go check out my facebook and see whatever pictures that i could gather from other tourmates cameras. Guess thats all i can say to Europe. Perhaps least that what V promised - we shall go there AGAIN!!! Maybe minus ROME. heheeeee
k that's it for now. till the next post...hopefully soooooon.....
