European Tours II

[bitt3rswit]

@sis talulah, super lamig! as in nginig to the bones ako!

@mama squeak- mura ba talaga LV and Chanel sa France?

[mama squeak!]

^definitely compared to buying them in Manila or HKG. Don't forget to get your tax rebates for more discount.

Thanks sis! What we did na lang is bought the ticket to the next station going to Budapest then when the inspector came to check our ticket saka namin sinabi diretso kami Budapest so onboard na kami nagbayad pero wala nga lang seat reservation

try radison blu.

Take my word for it, Park Plaza has the best location in Amsterdam! Very central to everything (tram, train station, canal bus, tour agency, restaurants, sex museum  , souvenir shops, bike rentals, etc.) Room rates are not bad too, executive rooms come with breakfast. Hope this helps 

[wowry]

Hi mga sis! just got back from our euro trip. Gusto ko lang mag thank you sa lahat ng mga sis natin here sobrang laki talaga ng naitulong niyo sa success ng trip namin specially Mama Squeak for sharing airbnb and lots of tips;D
I enjoyed Budapest and Prague so much,didn't expect na ganun kaganda ang Budapest. Super hot sa Italy as in mainit pa ata sa Pinas! Ang daming gwapo sa Brussels LOL!!! It was raining in Amsterdam but the houseboat we rented was really heaven parang ayaw na namin umalis sa bahay na yon. Kumpleto sa appliances,dishwasher,washing machine at dryer,toilet and bathroom with big bathtub at may Imac pa plus you can eat whatever is in their fridge hahaha kaya free breakfast kami I love airbnb!

Curious lang mga sis, Is it difficult to go around europe esp pag DYI if you don't speak their language?

[lavieenrose]

^Not really, as a lot of the locals do know how to speak English. But it really pays if you do a lot of  research before your trip.

[mama squeak!]

@wowry, ang ganda ng nakuha mo na rental! Galing! Was it docked near the city center?
Where in Italy did you go? Hubby and I will be going there next year. Ako naman hihingi ng tips sa yo.

 

[mama squeak!]

@crissy, tama si lavieenrose. As long as you did some research of the places you will visit, the language barrier will not be an issue. Of course it will always help to know some common phrases in the language of the country you will be visiting. Or you can always carry a small phrase book with you.

It wasn't very near.around 20 minutes away from the center but it's just one bus away so hindi hassle for me. Sa Italy, we went to Milan as entry point then Turin,Rome,Florence (we did the The Best of Tuscany Tour,worth it talaga!) and Venice. Gusto ko bumalik ng Italy. My plan is coz we have regular flight to Milan, magrerequest ako ng Milan every month tapos iisa isahin ko lahat ng places near Milan like Como etc

[mama squeak!]

^sis from Milan where did you go first? I'm looking at Milan as our entry point too. Then train to Venice. Did you take the train to Turin and Florence? How did you buy your tickets, online or at the station na?

At some point during our trip hubby and I will be renting a car to go around Tuscany. We're planning to allot at least 5 days for this. How many days was your Tuscany tour?
