our first europe trip together!
just back from milan this morning!!!!
was a good trip overall. i'm thoroughly walked-out and shopped-out already. ate enough pastas and pizzas on this trip (which makes me crave for fishball noodle soup now!). ohh and they have great gelatos!!!!!! yummmmssssss!
we travelled to rome, florence, venice and milan.
i remember the train rides to the different cities, the bus rides in rome, the metro rides to all the shopping areas, all the non-stop walking, shopping and eating.
the hotels we stayed in were nothing to shout about, but at least they were near to all the train stations and convenient. and we didn't watch any English programmes for the first 3/4 of our trip, until when we reached Milan where we had BBC and CNN. -_-
ok on this trip, i did throw a few tantrums here and there, probably because i was tired and have really never went all out to shop-till-i-almost-drop before. but i tried to keep my temper in check and be more zen about things. because j is really patient and never did he once lost his temper at me, he even tried to pacify me!
yups i know i am truly blessed to have him, i shall try to be a better wife to him! :)))))
j bought alot of stuff during the trip! clothes, shoes, jeans...and more clothes, shoes and jeans!!!!!!! he can out-shop me by...100000000000 times!!!!! have to give it to him lah... his relentless pursuit for fashion. haha...
some of the brands were so foreign to me... but he knows them lor. feels like i married a girl. really!
all in all...i did enjoy myself. the weather was fabulous, (sunny but not hot and humid), the Italians were friendly (and the men... handsome!!!), the food was delicious.. and the company was just perfect. :)
