My European Tapestry Tour 2011

I haven't been blogging for awhile as you may have noticed. The reason for this is that I've been away for a couple of weeks in Europe having a ball!! I shouldn't sound so excited because I was away for 3 weeks from my hubby (he was away in Sabah for his 4wd trip) and 2 weeks away from the kids, but I was in the good capable hands of my sister in law, which is also family right ! My sister in law asked me earlier in December 2010, whether I would do this trip with her, I think I said yes immediately : ) ! Thanks Stace it was sooo much fun , I loved the experience and meeting soo many nice people on the tour! Stace is also very fortunate as prior to this she was already on a 2 weeks luxury cruise around Eastern Europe with a very dear and close family friend! They even have their own personal butler!! Stace can we go on a cruise holiday please ??;)
Oh back to our European tour, it was so full on that I didn't have time to think about anything, nearly everyday is a different city, wakeup call ranged from 6am - 6.45am at the very latest, and if you have insomnia, these tours will take care of it! Towards the end, I think Stace and I was looking forward to going back to work , at least we could sleep in then ! ;) I know its terrible to say that when you're on this awesome trip! Everything was fantastic , I don't know which was the highlight of my trip.. it would have to be a close call between, going to the top of Mt Pilatus in Lucerne Switzerland , sightseeing and shopping in Venice, walking around the ancient city of Rome and looking at the Colloseum and the Roman forum! See I told you I can't pinpoint which one!
Here is the map of the trip that we did, countries visited were : Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Switzerland. City Highlights were Amsterdam, Black Forest, Brussels, Cologne, Florence, Innsbruck, London, Lucerne, Monte Carlo, Nice, Paris, Pisa, Rome, Tuscany, Venice!

This is our Group Tour photo, there was 21 of us ( small in a sense but its good for us), mostly from America, New Zealand, Australia and me the Malaysian! ). The coach bus was big and luxurious, and there was plenty of seats for one person to take up 2 seats as it could sit over 40. We made a lot of new friends and they were all very nice and some funny people especially the Kiwi family! There was also a very nice Texan Judge and his very lovely wife! Hehe can we go on tour with them again Stace? I will write more about the trip, but as it is getting late here, I better get some shut eye!! Yikes, I haven't even talked about the food yet!!!! Till the next instalment!
