Jogging at De Grote Plas (16 Apr)

>> Sunday, May 25, 2008

The final leg of the 3 week post exam trip has been finalized. Will be going to Scotland and Ireland after the Spain and Portugal tour.

My 23 day tour is as follows...

Eindhoven - Stockholm - Heidelberg - Madrid - Porto - Barcelona - Valencia - Glasgow - Edinburgh - Dublin - Amsterdam

Hopefully i won't be too tired from all the intensive traveling. I'll scrimp and save more for the upcoming trips as the accommodation in Europe is expensive.

208 euros for 9 one-way air tickets. Have to thank Ryanair for the low air fares.

Back from Wet Vienna

>> Saturday, May 24, 2008

The weather was terrible from the moment we touched down at Vienna.

It rained intermittently and that took away some of our lively spirits as we were walking in the rain to different tourist spots.

Nonetheless, the opera performance at Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) was the highlight of the trip as the vocals were superb and the interior of the opera house classically beautiful.

I've been busy planning for the remaining trips since yesterday as I gotta start my revision soon. Getting a little stressed that I haven't started studying since the end of my Quarter 3 exams.

Back from Berlin

>> Monday, May 19, 2008

Perhaps if we travel alone, we are able to know the city more intimately.

I was traveling alone in Berlin on Friday as I was the only one who went over to Berlin to find Daryl. Daryl was working and I spent the day traveling around Berlin alone.

It was an interesting experience and it was the first time that I traveled alone. I just did what I wanted and even walked until my knee ached at night.

I covered a lot of places during the 3 day whirlwind tour of Berlin and Potsdam. Tiring but worth it. I enjoyed Berlin coz there were much fewer tourists compared to Paris and Italy.

Will be heading to Vienna tomorrow.

Back on Thur morning.

Berlin Weekend Getaway

>> Friday, May 16, 2008

I leaving for Berlin later on Eurolines coach. Will be staying at Daryl's place over the 3 days there.

Will be back on Monday morning.

Den Haag Museums (15 Apr) (Part 2)

>> Thursday, May 15, 2008

Continuing the tour of Gemeente Museum in Den Haag...

Heading to the Fotomuseum next door...

After the whirlwind tour of the 3 museums, we cycled back to Delft.

And saw some tulips on the way back.

Den Haag Museums (15 Apr) (Part 1)

We cycled to Den Haag to visit some museums using our museumkaarts. It took us about 1 hour 15 mins to get to the museums. Our first stop is Museon which is a science museum.

After that, we headed to the International Court of Justice. Unfortunately, we have to book the tour before we can go inside. Thus, we were outside taking photos only.

Next we proceeded to Gemeente Museum beside Museon.

To be continued...
