It's been one month plus after my Europe trip and I have yet to blog about it. What a lazy bump I am as I have no excuse to say I'm busy! Lolx! Alright, I'll briefly tell about this 1st Europe trip of ours (hopefully there's more to come). We got cheap tickets to go to London from MAS Travel Fair at RM3,650 round trip. We're (erm...no I should use I'm instead)..sorry correction, I'm gonna travel to Europe first then only to Turkey. Turkey is another trip with sis, mum and her group of friends and excluding hubby. Hubby will only be joining me to London, Paris, Rome, Vatican and Venice. This Europe trip will last about 16 days and wow..that's pretty long huh! I'm super duper excited and at the same time also worried whether I can stand the 14 hours of long flight. Awh... Anyway, leave aside the long flight first and start with itinerary. Since Europe is so far away and it's not one of the place where you will say, we'll come again next time but instead we'll say if there's a chance, I would definitely wanna come back here, thus a well planned itinerary is almost as important as your passport. Well, it took me about 3 weeks to do survey and prepare the itinerary for the whole trip.

- Tower Bridge
- Trafalgar Square & Nelson’s Column
- Tower Bridge

- Buckingham Palace
- Hyde Park

There are thousand of photos that we have taken throughout the trip and no way that I can post it all here. So guys, these are just some of the selective photos from my trip.

Eugene came to London on Friday (15/04/11) night and he'll be staying for 2 days only and back to Berlin on Sunday evening! Thus we're gonna have a BBQ party and inviting Lynette as well. She's FY's primary school friend and has been in London for some time too. Her husband is a Causasian but speaks very well Cantonese. FY says other than his name, you can never tell that he's a Caucasian. When Eugene reached on Friday, we have already cooked him nasi lemak as per requested by him.
Our homemade nasi lemak - looks nice right? taste even better
