INTRODUCTION

Honestly, in the first place, I was a little unwilling to go for this Europe trip because I've just went to Germany one year ago and I don't have that much money to spare. But as Annie said, the fact that my mum wants to go is already a good reason for me to go. Afterall, what matters is that my mum gets to travel as many places as possible and is happy.

Anyway the destinations are namely Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France and Switzerland. Previously I made an error by saying I am going Italy too. Guess I made this mistake because I watched too much of Triumph in the Skies.

It was a nine days trip. The agency claimed that it's a total of ten days. My foot. I spent one whole day on the plane (12 hours there and 12 hours back). Went there together with my mum, eldest brother, sister-in-law and their friends. There are a great amount of differences found within the group and, I don't quite like the mix. I don't think it's very helpful in making the tour enjoyable. Oh well, just being whiny here a little bit.

My satisfaction of visiting the famous tourist attractions was fulfilled, I managed to practise a bit of german, tried to read maps, ventured train-taking with another guy from the tour group, etc. Will provide some personal tips with regards to travelling in Europe. I may not be 100% accurate but you can choose to read or not to read.

I hope that you all have had fun in your holidays too! :)

Herzlichen Gruesse von
