France (Lyon) - France (Paris)

Keke~ We are not leaving Lyon and to Paris. Its 500km from Lyon. OMG. The vhechile trevel in 100km/hr so we the journy took 5 hrous on road. Bored... Was playing Kingdom Heart: Chain of Memories during the trip from hotel and to a small town. It was an old fashion town. Spend one hour there which was just enough time and continue on the road.... Finally reach parais at 1445 and first thing was being caught in a traffic jap. I saw the Eiffel tower already!!! This is cool. Paris is very different from SG even though both are city. It only have a few high rise buidling and one tower poping out of no where. Hehe~ also, it has a miniture statue of libarty on the river. Went to the Louve Museum where the painitng of mona Lisa was being housed also the place where they film Davinci code. Dident went into the museum to see the painting cos its another excusion which cost 49USD per person but if you were to enter yourself, it only cost euro 12 bucks. We decide to walk around cos my aunt wont understand anyhting about painting. After that went to hotel. Today's dinner was the most expensive and best dinner. ^_^

France (Paris)

1st we went to the Notre Deme Chatedral. The taiwan drama; Tian Gou de jia yi was taken there. Very nice view!
2nd we drive round the city. The Louve Measume was the largest musem in the world. You need three month to see all the painting inside. Day and night non stop! (crazy) Saw the military school and behind it was the eiffel tower!
3rd we stop at the eiffel tower to take some photo. Ahhh~ so windy!
Last, we stop at the Louve mesum and walk to the Galeries Lafayette to shope around. Dident buy anything though. However, that place alone was three building, first building was seven floors, like wow, so many things and omg. if lady go there sure spend alot of money. Walk till very tired and so we had ice cream there, a few slice that cost euro 7.60 buck!! so we have to take our time slowly to eat and wait for ttime to pass till 1500. We went to meet the others to bring mother and aunt back to the hotel so they can rest. Both sis and i walk on our own, ^.^ I nevigate the map and my sis just follow. Keke~ We went to some disney shops and sis brought eeyor towe for euro 24 bucks. is more expensive then the one i brought in japan but well, cant compare... We walk for four hours non stop from shops like LV, planet hollywood, disney, quicksilver and last stop to the eiffle tower. Walk around total of sevenkm. When we reach the tower, it started drizzling. When queing for the ticket, i was very cold but still can stand it. its better then sweating. We went to the 2nd level of the tower, abit foggy and vrey cold. Very pretty view!~ Its 2100 now and we were on the train way back to the hotel. When we reach the hotel, we ate cup noodle cos we do not have time to eat and we cant find any food along the way. ^_^ Today was a very tiring day.

Italy (Florence) - Italy (Pisa) - France (Nice)

leaving to pisa to see the sec the leaving tower today by the way. if you are complaining about sg's public toilet, you guys should think twice. to go to the public toilet here, you need to spend £0.50 per entrance for some is for per cubical, so for guys peeing is free. £0.5= SGD$1.50 !!!! OMG!! phinochio was first writen in italy. went to visit the pisa tower!!! ive never thought i would be able to the tower so young. ^_^ I'm good, work hard and bless my next life (If i would ever have one). Keke~ I was hicupping on the way back from the tower, and er... I actually missed that special someone who will squeeze my nose to stop me from breathing so as to stop my hicuping. ^_^ Thx~ Je T'aime; A very special word to me with my two initial. In fect, france is a very special language whcih brings memories to me. Good or bad? I donno.
Theres alot of dogs here too.Reach France around 1515 then went to the Pertumary, telling us how perfume were made ect... Luckly my mother dident buy any. Keke~ Find i waste money. Then I came across the word Je T'aime. After that went Nice and the place look how fantasic it look!
We had our own time when we were at the hotel and so we went to the neareset bus stop and took a free shatter bus to airport which is quite near to the hotel im staying. Haha. After that we took bus to go to the town centre which cost £4 for one whole day. Which means even if you took the bus one time, it still cost the same!! Walk around the city centre and we found a CHINESE shop! After 1 week, this was our first chinese food. Not as nice as SG/s but still can eat. We wanted to walk around but shops closes around 1900-2000 which is abit ealier then in Intaly. So we decided to take the bus to airport and back hotel. Along the road, theres no bus stop for us to alite then we got abit kanjiong. I was warned that the bus came before we reach the bus stop and missed the bus. We then walk down the road, hoping to find bus stop. When we saw the bus coming, we were still not at the bus stop so we just flag the bus like crazy even knowing that there is no bus stop near us but the bus just stop infrount of us. Lol. and it just stop out of no where, its in the middle of the road. Cool hur. I dont think it will ever happen in singaproe. Visit their airport and i see why singapore airport was the best. The airport in Nice is small, looks old and shops closes ealy. we though ariports are 24/7 sia. So we went back to hotel early and i and sis was watching ice skating show so sleep quite late. cos next morning also no need to wake up early. ^_^

Italy (Rome) - Italy (Florence)

Today departure, was late so everything was done slowly and we can relax a little. spend most of the time on the road today so as to give the two old ladies more time to rest to recover back yesterdays adventure. OH Yeah, there are many days in july, even on vanice, owners to bring dogs along the streets of vanice. moreover, owners seems to have two dogs, female and males. hehe ~ to mate? On our way to Florence, there is lots of low clouds (fog) that is seldom seen in sg . it is due to the cold wheater and humid conditions so that water vapour is lighter than air to make cloud. florence centre area, walk around the place know abit of the history, about the buildings here which i didnt listen much. only busy taking pictures. Dinner was same as last few days. pasta, mosat of them as the same as sg. pizza, however is abit different; theypresent it in apiece, include the ingredients, they did not cut. small small like sg. they taste actually the same. If you are trying to find fresh meat or fresh food, its maybe impossible or you need to spend alot for that because most of the food here were kept or leave frozen for very long. food we eat are dry and hard. then back into hotel and slack abit, bath and watch tv while others sleep.

Italy (Rome)

Today, we were to wake up extra eraly to go to the Vatican Museum. The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel cost 53 USD/Per extra cos its an extra excursion. If we go ourself it cost £12 which is very much cheaper. However, we will have to que for around an hour to get in. When going with tour is much more faster and there are full explantion of the whole tour. Inside was mostly paintings, sculpture and artifact. Took many photos and most of all is the famous painting by Michelangelo; The judgement in the Sisten Chapel. After that, we went to St Mark's square and what we saw was a sea of people so we were unable to enter the square. Therefore we just walk around the walls and the side of the square. St Marks square is a place where they choose the pope and just next to the square is where the pope live. We were lucky that we were able to see an event when people came to visit the pope. However, due to the time constrain, we were unable to wait for the pope to come out. Next stop is The Colosseum. St Marks square had another name called Basilica S. Pietro. I dident know why this name will appear in Rome but it meant something to me. something very important... Anyway, in the colosseum, its nothing much but lots of stones. The view is very magnificent with great work and large column. It is one of the best work in Italty. After the colosseum, we are to choose either to go back to the hotel or to have free time and to work around by ourself. Yestaday we wanted to go some place and were unbale to, so today we plan to go there, but before that, we went to a place where church was underground. That place remines me of Diablo where hell is at the bottom. Everything underground was creepy, if there were no electrical light but candles, it may be even worse. It has three floors underground and it can go deeper which is undiscovered and so unsutale to go and deeper. After that, we took the metro to Barberini and start from Fontana del Tritone, then to San Cario Quattru Fontane (seems like the governement centre and with long que of ppl trying to gt in) and lastly, Fontona di Trevi (Very nice fountain filled with many people) We then walk back to the metro and to Ottaviano San Pietro station and take bus 32 and back to the hotel. Today was a very tiring day cos whole day was walk and little resting. Hehe~ Anyway, i brought my ghost and gougou with me to keep me accompany. I missed all my stuffies. ^_^

Italy (Venice) - Italy (Assisi) - Italy (Rome)
Morning~ I'm getting bored of breakfast soon, its always the same thing and everything is cold. Hmm. Today will be another day when we spend the whole morning siting in the coach. So here I am enjoying the sight in Italy and it can be really sleepy. Ywanz~ Lala~ Around 1330 to st Francisco church somewhere south of Italy. Walk around the cathedral to see nice drawing and the building. When walking up to the second floor, mother and aunt dont' feel like going up. So we went up a while then when we come back, they were gone!!! My sis got anxious so we went back to second floor to check and still cannot find them. We tried to call mother but doesn't seems to get a response. When we walk to the entrance, they were there and went to the toilet. Sis got angry off cos cos she told them to stay there to prevent us from getting separated, its dangerous you know... We also don have much time to eat lunch already so we just brought some take aways pizza to chew on it first. After that, we travel for another two hours. When we reach Rome, traffic was very bad.The way people park their car was worse! Our driver have to squeeze between road to drive through turns was like doing stuns. Around 1700, we went out our self, took bus number 32 instead of taking the metro to Barberio. This is the place that we need to pay extra to the tours. To save money, we decided to go our self. At first, i was abit scare that we got lost or we did not manage to get back. Inspired of that we still have to go. This is my first time traveling in foreign country without help. We manage to reach the town center with many shops there. Went till 1900, the sky got really dark. We went to the super market there something like NTUC but i like their large cheese for sale. Very huge and solid hard. I wonder who will buy such a big cheese, like to feed the whole army of rat. We then find our way back and took the bus back to hotel. You know, this experience is so cool. It was fun, really. ^_^ Back in the hotel early to rest. ZzZz

Austria (Innsbruck) - Italy (Venice)
We are still in Austria and are leaving to Italy. Took around one hour to Italy and another five hours to Venice. Anyway, upon reaching Venice, we will have e to travel through a four km long bridge that connect mainland Italy and Venice. The view there was fantastic so we spend the whole afternoon there. In Venice, nothing much to do actually, just walk for four hours around, took pic and sight seeing. For more info, sec school social studies text book is more then enough. Haha. I missed Singapore and off cos, you guys out there. Next, we find our way to Rotia, one of the three bridge in the world with shops on it. Next we walk back to st Mark square and walk around to see those pigeons interacting with tourist. By t he way, the pigeons her are very well fed and so are extremely fat. Upon night fall, the temperature also decrease and our boat was late. So everyone was so cold that reminds me of the March of the Penguin, everyone start getting closer and closer to conserve heat. Haha. So cool right. Haha. Dinner was late but luckily, its buffet. Dinner was nice and I ate till like there's no tomorrow. HAHAHA! Then had bath and chat for a while before sleeping. Nitez~

Lucerne(Switzerland) - Liechtenstein - Innsbruch(Austria)
Wakie wakie~ Its morning and its still snowing!!! We went central for aibt of shopping and got abit of chocolate then ejoy the snow. Due to the heavy snow and fog, all of the people decided to cancel the escusion to the mountaint. I actually dont mind cancelling cos there is snow and i am not greedy to want both. Also can save abit of money not going to the mountain. Therefore, we havge abit of free time for shopping and walk around. We then went starbucks to warm ourself up. After that we are off to another town. Snow had stop. It seems like it snow just for us ^_^ Took lots of fantasitic views. Lunch was expensive. Out side our lunch places, the view was equally as nice. Its like white carpet around the grassland. Lol. We went to a small country call Liechtenstein only for half an hour, even though its small, it has been there for 200 yrs. haha~ Then at 1500, we ge crossed the border to Austria back to EU land. Its still white here, We went to the town centre to the world largest Swarvoski shop and saw a small golden roof and then back to the hotal. Food was alright.
Nitez~

Brussels(Belgium) - Luxembourg - Lucerne(Switzerland)

Morning~ Wake up surprising early because the alam clock was set wrongly (one hr earlier). Thx to my sis, who counted the time wrongly, cos our hp de clock is sg time, so we have to count. Haha. On the way to Luxembourg, theres snow but its on the floor. LOL. Reach there finally, walked around the town centre(something like our interchange in sg) and took a number of photos. Nothing much to see. Anyway, just to let you guys know something about Europe. Now that the we had the European Union which is formed in 1993. So those people who wants to trevel around the European Union do not need to waste the time in the check point and to check passport and no need to change so many types of currency cos now only use Euros. 1600(europe time), we arrived in Switzerland, beautiful place, its unlike the last place we've visited. More houses are seen around the country and all around, are mountains. Weird thing is that they allow us to enter into the country without having our passport check and this means we saved even more time. Around half an hour later, we got to the centrel of Switzerland, Lucence. Theres lots of cnow on the foor and its everwhere expect from falling down... :( We stop somewhere in the center. Before we get on our way back to the hotel, guess what happen??? It start snowing!!! for the first time in my life, its snowing!!! We were so luckly cos we dident expect to snow due to this time of the year, it should be spring soon. Sis and i dident went back to the coach instead, we walk around but the snow got bigger and bigger, so we brought a cup of coffee and went back to the coach. Dinner was plain. We went out a while to enjoy the snow and decided that it got very cold for us to stay any longer and so we went back to the hotel and sleep early...
Anyone can guessed that this is a chocolate shop. All chocolate shop looks somthing like this.
One of the street, my mum and aunt.
Picture by the river. Its really cold you knoe...
So cold, till we need some ice-cream to chill us up.
Before
And after~
The dinner menu, Looks great right?
It really does looks nice right but its like those packed food from supermarket and it taste like packed food. HAHA~

0000 SG time is the time where our flight finally took off after a delay 75min due to the weather in Heathrow. It is to be said snowing but snow had already mealted when we landed at 0515 London time. Very unluckly because not only our flight was delay but when taking our luggage was delayed too. It is to be said that something happen to the plane that they cannot open our luggage gate. So we waited till 0710, we got our luggage. Finally, out of the airport and for the first time in 9mth, i saw my sis, i wave at her and she still blurr blur. -_-` We rush our way to Russel square tube(MRT) and reach our meeting place for our tour. Everyone was waiting for us... We toook the bus to Dover dock and now, I'm in the boat to French and then drive to Belgium. In the boat, it's abit bored, was doing nothing and there's many teenagers donno going where. Made the whole boat nosy sia... Boat abit bumpy too, luckly i'm not that sick till vomit. And! Bad hair day!!! :( Sobz~ The bus ride took two hours till we reach our hotel. After we got change (get more clothes), we went out for dinner. Hehe~ And guess what I ate. Myself!!!
