EURO TRIP 2008 Part II

Day 8 :

So we were done with Venice and our super nice hotels, we booked a hotel in Milan and headed there. On the way to Milan we stopped at Verona, the place where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet took place and the famous streets they walked.

A Colosseum, Deep Purple and many other acts perform here.

LV.
I spilled a coke somewhere.

Day 9:

While we were leaving Milan to go to Jungfrau, Peak of Europe, we drove pass San Siro, the previous day we couldn't get in due to a live concert, so we took the chance and went in this time, and we also took the stadium tour.


San Siro, very old looking.



Messy inside due to a concert the day before.

Me in the AC Dressing Room.

So after we visited the grounds, we had some horrendous driving to the Alps for lunch, it was snowing and we played with some snow. After which we took the train ferry which transports vehicles through the mountainous areas, in order to avoid horrendous driving. We finally reached Interlaken in the evening and went to Hooters for dinner after checking in. Totally shag after a day of horrendous driving.


Snow snow snow! The Alps!


Snowing, my parents.


The Train Ferry.


Hooters!


EURO Village.

Day 10:

So the next day we checked out and headed for Jungfrau first, then later Luzern in the afternoon and will stay there for the night. Jungfrau, the peak of Europe, 007 took some clips there.


Thats the plateau at the peak! and thats Q magazine.



The train that we took up to the peak is behind me (in red), and this is a rest stop some where in between the trip up.

Interlaken outside a watch shop.


Day 11:

After spending at night at Luzern, watching soccer and eating fast food (crap food), we headed to see the Lion Monument first, its dedicated to Swiss Soldiers. Then we later headed for Outlet shopping! I bought some shit there but mainly its not really that much la. And then we headed back to where we first began, my Aunty's apartment to dump our stuff. After which we then headed to France for some French food but, it was unsuccessful due to a lack of time and their late opening hours. So we drove back to Basel and then went to watch the France Italy match at one of the Fans zone, but not before eating at Movenpick.


The Lion monument, its beautiful, you must be there to experience it


My mother and Luzern in the background.


The fanzone in Basel, if only Singapore had this.


Movenpick where I ate Rosti with Veal. We had Icecream and Coffee too.


Just some infrastructure. Basel.

After the match we went back to the apartment, where we had some supper, bathed, packed and slept for the last night in Europe.

Day 12:

So the last day was spent in Zurich, seeing the city and beating rush hour to try to get to the airport in time. Zurich was boring compared to Basel and if you ask me, I think theres just nothing to do there except see stuff. Although there were much nicer stuff to see over the past few days. We said bye to the apartment, loaded up our luggage and headed to Zurich.


A nice display for EURO 08 at their Train Station.



Streets of Zurich.



Ferris wheel, Zurich.


We were feeding Swans and Mandarin Dux, my Mother, Father and I.


This is where we chilled, coffee, pork and beer.

We then headed to the airport, checked in and went to do last minute shopping for souveniors. Took a 12 hour flight home and it was Day 13 already. Here officially ends my Euro Trip, it was fruitful and enjoyable mostly, sometimes stressful with the family but still a good experience.

Europe I will be back.
