London

If you have read my status on Facebook, I didn't really fall in love with London when I arrived.

It was really cold (10 degrees - you call this summer?!), windy, and raining on and off all the time.

So, we met up with our friend living in London (whom we met in Maldives), had lunch and went straight back to the hotel. It was so cold that I didn't have the mood to look and visit anything.

But the next day and the day after was good! Thank you God of the Weather!

Love those British red phone booths, eh?

And below, at the Tower Bridge - or known also as the London Bridge

Since it was a very sad day, we immediately went shopping on the 2nd day when the sun came out!

Yet, it was still so cold and windy that I had to buy another sweater.

We were so lucky because Summer Sales just started in London when we were there!

I bought these La Senza PJs, 2 for the price of 1 for only 22 pounds!!! *sense the excitement*

And when we went to Harrods, they are also having their Summer Sales. The perfume section was the craziest! They were selling all their perfume sets and these Burberry Brit set was at 26 pounds.

I bought another new Tommy Hilfiger perfume, which was just introduced for Christmas in 2010 for only 9 pounds - the small bottle lah.

OK I better stop talking about my buys before somebody kills me.

We're enjoying the sun in Barcelona.

We miss Malaysia so much; I miss the great hospitality and people in Alicante already.

So much to do and even more to look forward to when we're back in Malaysia.

For now, we already have something on for each and every weekend. AGAIN. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

But one weekend we're on our facial appointment (ok someone's rolling eyes), the other we have a birthday weekend in Melaka; then followed by a cousin-in-law's wedding and a the last weekend of July would be a very good friend's wedding in Ipoh.

I need a weekend for me-time at home. Probably only in August. But yes, we both look forward to seeing our families and friends at home. :)

k thx bye

Gloomy London

Met our holiday friend we knew from our trip to Maldives last year!

At the Big Ben overlooking the London Eye

It was drizzling like crap the whole day. Very cold too!

So, we bought KFC and ate in the hotel room. Stayed in all evening til night.

We went shopping whole day today though :P

Can't wait til we get more sun in Spain!

Italy in short

Firstly, the internet connection here is crazily fast! Or have we been using the internet at its speed in the 1980s all these while?! :/

I love Italy. We traveled from Athens to Italy, making Rome our first stop. Very beautiful historical city. I've heard so much about Florence, so we traveled to Florence and then Venice - our last Italian city.

Florence - is very romantic. And we had very good shopping there :)

From Florence, we took a one and a half hour train to Pisa. Didn't spend a lot of time there, because we were looking forward to shop at the Factory Outlet :P

Here's Rome:-

The beautiful Trevi Fountain. Yes, I threw a coin and wished our family well :)

We also went to the Vatican City. Walked up 332 steps up to the dome.

Vatican City is indeed very beautiful.

And then, Venice:-

Piasa San Marco. Picture can't do any justice. At all.

Also paid 100 euro for a gondola trip. Worth it.

We're in Disneyland Paris now. Will be checking-out and then traveling to Paris City for 3 nights. The weather is a bit chilly and wet. Wish us well.

I'll update more whenever I can. One thing for sure, we both miss Malaysian food and everything at home. Pros and cons of going off for a holiday.

XOXO,

From Greece with Love

We're on our long-awaited 3.5 weeks European adventure for our honeymoon.

We chose Santorini Island as a start for its laid back and beautiful white buildings along the cliffs of the rocky mountain.

The weather was so sunny and windy, a bit chilly at night. It's the late of Spring, going into Summer. The locals reckon that it's the best time of the year :)

We rented a Smart car the next day touring the island of Santorini, from the Red Beach to the Black Beach, the winery, drove along the coastline ... took a lot of photos along the way when we spot beautiful pictures. And of course, the blue churches.

No matter how much we love traveling, we miss our family and friends back home. I always have this habit of turning off my phone to avoid disturbances and issues at home. But you know what? It's best to stay connected sometimes. Darling made a very good point by reminding me that.

Will blog more soon.

XOXO,
