This is so delayed... 16 days since I've been back! but well, when the mood's right, & everything blends in just right too.. it's TIME to yek about my recentEurope tripwith the other 6 marketeers!
Namely...Dawn, Ade, Jingsi, Elv, Karen & Andy! (: Most of you guys would have heard allll abt the trip by now... but no harm listening again ya? =P HAa!
Let's see... A total of18 daysspent in Europe on the whole... 1st 12 days were with Contiki Tour Group, & our last 5 days were free days spent in England! For those who have not heard of "Contiki"... it's a tour organization, which brings together travellers of ages 18-35 from all over the globe! It's a wonderful experience out of the norm. - which will be filled just with Singaporeans. (Boring!)
Together with the travellers (there's a total of48of us!), a tour manager & tour bus-driver will be with you for the entire journey~ Ha omigosh, am I advertising for them? wellwellwell, It was a splendid experience! Really! But if I were to tour Europe again in the future (Hopefuly! Prays hard! ha~*), I would definitely choose to go OTOT on my own! The country-hopping madness is too crazy for me! WahhAa!
Travelling really helps in all ways possible... A breather which I so badly need then! though our first 12 days were fast and furious, they were awesome! We "touched" , Amsterdam, Rhine Valley, Munich, Austrian Tyrol, Venice, Rome, Florence, Lucern & Paris with Contiki~* & amongst our last 5 days... our 1st 2 days were spent outta London (Bath & Stratford-upon-Avon), while the last 3 were in London!
All in ALL, I reaaally loved Europe! Okay, before you guys fall asleep while reading.. Let's... check out someLovely Shotsof the Tour!!!!
