Eumiko: 2014

Verona

The story of Romeo and Juliet was set in the little town of Verona, which we made some concessions for a short trip there. Haha, didn't manage to find the Romeo and Juliet wall even after asking the locals, but had some nice food and shopping there.

Roma, the City of Love

After a short visit at Vatican City, we headed to Roma. The City of Love :)

A monumental structure

Along the way

At an Italian restaurant along the streets of Rome

We had been "feasting: on Burger King for almost every lunch meal, yes no joke :P Because my aunt wasn't very keen on Italian food. Nevertheless, we finally dined outside for lunch, at none other than Rome. Alfresco dining along the streets of Rome was a fascinating experience!

The cheesy and yummy Carbonara which I had

The even more yummy Pomodoro

Deep in thought, hmm nope actually I didn't know I was being captured

At the Colosseum, which is a must-see at Rome,also originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre

A shot of us 4

The sun was really glaring haha :P

A shot at the Colosseum...at the gates ;)

Overlooking the Colosseum

Forgive the messy hair, that's perhaps the only self-shot I had that had a clear view of the colosseum :D

With my cousin Jerlyn

Although Rome was a fascinating sensual city, much of the trip was spent observing from the comfort of the car...Italy is really beautiful with a nice weather, however Rome was scorching hot comparatively to its other provinces.

More to come! (:

Waking up to Vatican City

Although we had stayed at Venice during our Italy stay, exploring Venice was not the first thing which we did. After visiting Milan, we made a 8 hour drive for the purpose of visiting Rome, but did a short stopover at the beautiful Vatican City.

And yes, we slept in the car for that night and woke up in Vatican City. Oh my aunt was the poor driver :X I also barely slept a wink, was feeling a little blue~

A short entry of a daytrip at Milan

The next day, we headed to Milan for a daytrip where we visited the majestic Duomo and savored the sights of the city.

Me and mum

When we were driving at Milan, we caught sight of this intriguing figure (lol)

Look at the majestic Duomo!

We visited the beautiful Duomo mainly, didn't really tour the shops as my family wasn't keen on shopping.

Zooming in

At a LV store in Milan, because it's not everyday you get to go to an LV store at a city where fashion is the heart of it

A photo together, I look a little silly in this photo hahaha

A Journey to Europe (A Photo Story)

Hi!:D Last semester I went on a trip to Europe, but didn't have the time to blog about it. Currently I'm having my holidays, so I'm just going to recount my wonderful holiday trip where I visited a number of European countries such as Austria, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium.

The good thing about photos are that they have a time stamp on them, so you always can check back when you took those photos haha~

On 30th May this year, I departed from the homely island of Singapore on a journey to the exciting and variable lands of Europe, a family trip with my maternal side of cousins, aunts and my mother of course.

I had a 8 hour stopover at Dubai airport, which I honestly found it really hard to kill time there.
