That's what my colleagues say when I show photos of coron and el nido to them..haha. what the hell am I doing daw in australia when we have those back home. Flattering sa totoo lang. :) That's why I'd rather explore the places I haven't been while on holidays. 4 weeks ang inallow namin for the wedding. I'm checking el nido packages now. :)

Hahaha correct sis belle! Nakakaflatter kapag sila super palatak na maganda sa pinas. Some of them talagang magttravel pa kahit mag isa to explore. Tapos madaming pinoy, hindi alam yung ibang places sa pilipinas pero uhaw sa abroad.. Just saying ulit! hehe..

also, it is possible to explore luzon, visayas, and mindanao through ro-ro (one of my papa's ideas)...so pack your bags, fill up the gas tank, and off you go ;)

Hmm isa sa mga napansin ko sa mga domestic travels ko is yung mga Pinoy sila pa yung pasosyal pag bumabyahe. Bihirang bihira ako makakita ng backpackers talaga before. puro foreigners usually. Yung mga foreigners sila yung naglalakad, nagpapublic transport, then yung mga pinoy sila [textspeak!] naka van, naka private boat sa tours, etc.. Just saying hehe.

^gusto ko yang idea na yan. Parang cruise only cheaper! :) Sana magawa namin yan in the future :)

I haven't started planning our honeymoon yet, as in zero. Can anyone recommend a 3-week itinerary through Europe? And how much estimated cost? Siguro my only mandatories would be Greece (Santorini!!), France and Italy (because i love pizza!!)

Thanks in advance! :)

hi All! newbie here :) H2B and I are just about to start planning the wedding and our target is december 2015. We dont have anything booked yet but we're firm that our honeymoon will be in Europe.

Hi sis, if your wedding is in December and you're planning to go straight to Europe, I would suggest wait a few months more.  Maybe April or better yet May and June.  Unless you really want to experience winter, and you're planning on visiting Christmas markets. But brace yourself for the cold.  Advice lang. Mahirap magsightseeing pag nanginginig ang buong katawan hehe.  Plus the roads are slippery, especially if the snow has turned into slush.  The perfect time to visit Europe would be from April onwards, because spring has gone into full bloom. The parks would be full of flowers na.  It would still be cold, but if you are lucky the sun would come out.  :)  If you are planning to visit the UK, remember to bring your umbrella. (just the small personalized one for you and bring another for your hubby)  :) .  It's four seasons in one day in the UK, kaya never leave without it. :)

You'll be needing a schengen visa which will enable you to travel within 26 countries of the EU

Your itinerary will basically depend on what you want, if you want to visit all the tourist places or you'd just want to lounge :)  but here are some tips:

Paris, France (4-5 days)
- Bring a bottle of water
-wear flats!!! not just flats, wear comfortable shoes - unless you'll be driving around but if you are taking the metro (trains and buses) then wear very comfortable shoes
-braise yourself for lots of walking
If you are coming from Charles de Gaulle airport there would already be trains going straight to Paris via Gare du Nord. 
-  Train stations have maps of the metro. It's not that difficult to read them.  It's colour coordinated to differentiate each metro line.  ( I think it's similar to the train lines of Hongkong and Singapore, not sure though).  Make sure that you take note of the trains stops that have got different lines so that you will know where your next train transfer is.
- Each hotel has maps, this is also free.  Most Parisian attractions are within walking distance of each other.  Like the Louvre, the Trocadero, the Eiffel tower, the Tuilleries garden. Even Champs Elysees, but this is just a very long walk.  My second time in Paris, I was showing my fiance around, naexcite sya, he decided that we walk for 5 hours straight.  HIndi na maipinta yung mukha ko sa inis and pagod. hehe.
- visiting the Louvre, if you are really into art takes more than a day.  Take the unerground entrance from the train station, otherwise pipila kyo sa labas sa init, or sa lamig, depends on what time of the year you will be visiting. 
- If you are going to Versailles, this will also take a day.
- Go out early, because tourist places really have very long queues.
-  By the way, be wary of men who will just go to you tapos kukunin yung kamay mo bibigyan ka ng bracelet, huwag nyong tanggapin.  kasi hihingan ka nila ng pera. Even sa mga train stations, meron mga guys in their early twenties and early teens, tapos may mga ID sila, bigla silang lalapit sa mga tourist who looks lost, mga extortionists din yun.  hehe. 
 
Rome - 3-4 days 

- Rome is quite small.  And in summer, (June - August) is very much like the Philippines esp. the weather.  It's humid and hot.  Architecture is really nice. Their public transport isn't as good as in the rest of the EU, but you could still take transport.  It's within walking distance as well. you can do it in a day actually. Maliit lang sya. 
- If you're going to visit the Vatican, they have a strict rule there, they won't let anyone wearing sleeveless and shorts or mini skirts in, kaya bring shawls or cardigan as a coverup.  Kahit nga 2 shawl na ginawang sarong or skirt style pwedi basta covered ka lagpas tuhod. 

Greece-
I haven't been here, but have been researching about it quite a lot.  My friends had already told me you need 7-10 days to visit Greece.  Your main port could be athens, then you can stay overnight in Santorini or other islands.

For attractions and things to do, I recommend Trip Advisor.  It really helped me a lot plan itineraries everytime I go on holidays. 

Pasensya na kung sobrang haba. Happy preps :)

^OMG sis bonzaigirl thanks so much for your recos! Sobrang useful, thank you thank you! :)

! I heard also the best place in Italy for pizza is Naples? Haha or same lang anywhere? I also want to visit not just tourist spots but also beautiful countrysides. Fiance kasi is an avid photographer and we love nice landscapes. Hay, so much research to be done nga talaga but i guess masaya naman. I just haven't started at all kasi. I will maybe 6 months before our wedding pag tapos nako magbook :)

sis, sparklingjewel, you might want to consider Germany, Belgium and NL if you want countryside/landscape.
 
Heidelberg is so lovely. For me, it's better than the more popular Eu tourist spots. In Belgium you can go to Brugge and Antwerpen (Diamond museum!). If you will be in NL between March-May, don't miss Keukonhof.

In Paris, the Le Marais area is a nice place to get a hotel. Near the train station so it's accessible yet not as busy (and expensive) as those near The Eiffel/the Louvre. 

Though train should be easy within Eu, maybe you can also consider renting a car and drive around/across for the whole stay so you can enjoy the countryside more at your own pace.

If you're into medieval settings, you may want to consider Brugge. Lots of things to see  :)

My ultimate fave though is the Netherlands, especially Amsterdam kasi you can walk or bike around. So many interesting things to see, but you'd need a car if you plan to go to Madurodam, Keukenhof, Amsterdam (Anne Frank House, Rijks and Van Gogh Museum), the Delta Works (amazing waterworks), Zaanse Schans. NL is a small country, and I'm sure if you're only looking to limit your Europe trip to one or two countries to really get to know them, then NL would be a great choice.

During our recent Europe trip, we visited a lot of cities because it's my husband's first time there.
Here's our itinerary:

Milan-Lake Como-Florence-Rome-Budapest-Vienna-Prague-Amsterdam-Brussels-Bruges-Paris

Out of all those cities, my fave were Prague and Budapest because I'm a sucker for architecture and best talaga nito is in Eastern Europe. Hubby loved Amsterdam because it's so unique and very easy to navigate.

For food, the best would be Florence and Rome. From their pizzas, steaks, risotto etc. Bundat kami lagi sa Italy. We would eat for 2 hours hahahaha! Florence I would go back to just for the outlet stores OMG!!

I didn't really like Paris a lot. It's OK I would love to shop there but it didn't leave any good impression for me hahahaha! Muntik na kasi ma-pickpocket si hubby sa dami ng designer paperbags na dala niya.

Hehe nakaka-shock to realize that major cities in Europe have majorly brilliant pickpockets too, ano  :) I had a friend who went to a bank in The Dam in Amsterdam to deposit some money and while there, two bank robbers held up the bank tellers at knife point. But, unlike in Pinas where holdups usually become horribly scary, this story was a bit funny because banks in NL don't have lots of cash on site anyway so they are usually the worst places to rob. But Chinese-looking tourists (including students) had been targets of pickpockets and robberies in many EU countries, too. Let's just be extra careful, like we usually are in Manila  :)

Yes thats ao true, asian looking tourists especially chinese, koreans and japanese looking tourists are their targets kasi they know that they have got money.  You will actually see busloads of them in your trips im sure :)
