Some notes from honeymoon trip

1. No stamp of custom clearance in paris and we were lost.. trying to confirm this is ok.. i din wan us to get caught of illegal entry to country at the start of our honeymoon.. hehe.. took some time trying to find hertz and the rented car.. we got a hybrid car.. toyota prius..

2. Roads are narrow in france (loire valley and normandy) and driving in paris is crazy.. cars are packed and close to each other.. roads are complicated and u will get lost even with gps.. we had a hard time trying to find a petrol station in paris central.. if u are not daring enuff dun drive!.. however the countrysides in france and uk are scenic and smell great.. definitely worth trying..

3. Flight to rome on 2 apr was cancelled due to technical fault.. lucky we picked venice instead.. else dunno wat will happen to us.. heard there were fights at the football match in rome as well (police and the man u fans).. it probably quite chaotic there..

4. We packed the lightest so far.. each about 7 kg plus.. just change of 2 tops and 1 bottom.. 1 set of sleepwear.. toiletries and slipper.. so that we can carry and go.. esp after car return in paris and london.. we can oso save some $.. checking in baggage at ryan air is not free.. hehe definitely diff honeymoon from others.. it's impt to watch your pockets and bags tight.. these ppl are so skillful that u wont feel anything and in a blink all your valuables are gone.. i guess we asian have a "pls-rob-me" face.. kekeke..

5. I "fainted" on our way to football match in barcelona.. thanks to sangria.. a super doper strong drink we had for dinner.. lucky just after the man left the train whom we suspected as pickpocket.. the train was warm and i couldn't see anything.. so we got out of the train and i rested on the bench.. lucky i was fine after that and still enjoyed the match :)

6. Building of sagrada familia still on-going.. dunno when it will b completed.. hopefully it's done when we bring our kids there.. i actually felt sad about gaudi's death.. he's such a genius..

7. Football match in europe is a must-watch.. esp barcelona as nou camp is the biggest in europe and fans are passionate..

8. Full english breakfast in uk is a must-eat.. tasty and filling.. roast duck in london too.. oily, juicy and tender..

9. Hotdog in paris near notre dame is a must-eat.. so cheesy and tasty..

10. Gelato in venice is yummie too but i think it's not too far from gelare.. fish soup is a must-eat.. it's better than spaghetti..

11. Never schedule shopping on sunday.. all the major shops are closed.. only managed to shop at zara but i have oni 15 mins to browse and try.. hehe coz we were on our way to the bus terminal for airport transfer.. totally no time in paris as we were running thru all the major POIs under the 2-days museum pass.. i dunno whether my dear purposely or not.. or just me no luck for shopping.. harrods and m&s etc were closed on easter sunday.. ah lian was "screaming" in yahoo tat i have changed.. well not quite.. havent been a shopping person for ages.. so din really feel anything abt this..
