Trip to Europe

I've finally managed to upload the pictures of the trip.So anyway,the pictures are in the order that I took,from the 1st day 'till the last.
I visited six countries in total.
London>Paris>Belgium>Holland>Germany>Switzerland

London-We stayed 2 nights in London and we did a city tour; Tower o London,Buckingham Place and other historical attractions. We also went outside of London to Oxford Street,where they showed us the colleges and universities and explained on how the education system works.
We also went to Stratford upon Avon also know as Shakespeare's Birthplace and I was feeling so excited at that time getting to enter the little cottage and stepping on the wooden floor that he(one of the greatest poets) use to walk on. They showed us the around the little hose,into the his bedrooms,the kitchen,the garden. But unfortunately they did not allow photos to be taken in there :(
So then we went back to the city and I did some shopping and I got to ride on and English cab for the first time in my life!
I wish I had more time in England though,because I wanted to explore more. I wanted to see the theatre,museums,try riding the bus,I wanted to do some more shopping.

Paris-So let me tell you about the embarrassing thing that happened to me in this city first. I was at Galeries Lafayette,the huge shopping mall where many,many people come at shop at. I was browsing the souvenirs section,when I accidentally dropped one of glass souvenir! And people were going "ooooh"and i was feeling panicky and then the shop assistant came and she kept saying "itz ok,itz ok" and i kept saying "I'm so sorry,I'm so sorry" then she began to rearranged the souvenirs and I went further away from there and i pretended to look at things as if it the stares didn't bother me at all and then everybody continued on with their lives.

Apart from that,we took a city tour around Paris and went for the Seine river cruise. It was splendid and Paris is a really beautiful city!

Belgium-I shop quite a lot in Belgium plus and we visited the statue of "The Little Boy". I don't quite remember its actual name but its has got something to do with him peeing,I think.

Holland,Amsterdam-WINDMILLS & CHEESE!! I bought many,many souvenirs here. We visited the countryside and it the scene was really marvellous. My dad joked about wanted to buy a house there. (i wish he would though) And I visited the clog center too. I think they're really pretty and fashionable somehow. We also went for a boat cruise and visited the diamond factory.

Germany-In Germany,we went to Cologne then Frankfurt and Heidelburgh. We board the Rhine river cruise. which I really,really love. Then we viewed Heidelburgh Castle. And we also visited Rhine Falls,the largest waterfall in Europe and also to Lake Titisee Oh,and we also visited the Cuckoo Clock center.

Switzerland- Switzerland was the only place where I didn't shop because the prices there were way over my budget. But the sceneries there were really breathtaking and I went up Mount Alps and thankfully it rained that day,means that there was snow! I got to experience real snow for the first time.

My trip was really amazing and an unforgettable experience,especially since World Cup was going on,cause everybody was so lively on the city streets. I want to go back again. I'll start by counting down my spending and saving more money.

P.S. I look really pathetic and un-glam in those photos,also my photography is really bad. I apologise for that!
I will reply to all of you tomorrow,I'll wake up bright and early and catch up some blogs tomorrow.

  9. Your photos took up so much room, must have taken forever to upload! They’re really interesting though, I wish I could visit at least one of those countries. You are so so lucky. Some people would say it’s the holiday of a lifetime.
    So what country/ies are you to going next?

  11. Sounds like an amazing trip. I'd need another suitcase to bring home all the souveniers I'd no doubt buy.

    Lovely pictures by the way, they took ages to load but were worth it.
