Oh my little cupcakes,
I fear I have caught the travel bug. There's this itch I can't seem to scratch and I think its because travelling is addicting. It happens oh so often after I travel to some wonderful exotic location ; the cravings come very quickly like a fat boy craves cake. Sadly, I do not have the luxury of jetting of as and when I like so here I am left with reminiscing about past trips. Seeing as I have yet to do a post of my previous Eurotrip, here are some of my favourite photographs from Europe.
From Switzerland to London, England I had the most wonderful of trips. Time sure does fly as it has been almost a year since this trip. What would I give to go back once more...

The gates open and if you look up, its like being in a vessel heading to the heavens. |
|
Should you find a need to know where you're standing in life, just look down. |
|
Amster-fucking-dam!
Yes, these are real buildings and they are a sight to be seen. |
|
Bro and dad at the docks waiting for our canal cruise to begin. |

Once more wondering if locking one to another begets true love and loyalty. |

Smile for the camera in the streets of Amsterdam. |

Enough tulips to last you for months. |

Its beginning to feel like I'm Alice and this is Wonderland |

Tulips at Kuekenhof |

More tulips. Seriously... I just want to roll around in them. |

Petals falling as the wind gently blows and my mom is filled with joyful wonder. |

Just beautiful. |

Have you seen a Windmill? |

Have you seen a bunch of Windmills? |
|
Belgian backyards, not your ordinary backyard. |
|
I have got to hand it to the architects of the past.
(With a view like this in a town like that who wouldn't want to walk everywhere) |
|
Exactly. Walking everywhere is a treat when you're here. |
|
Photo of duckling making ripples in the calm waters. |

How bout some topless mermaids? |

I dared him to silently follow a pigeon. I also dared him to scare it once he was close enough. |

French hobo in the metro.
(French hobo still better than your hobo) |

And this reminded me of Madeline and Miss Clavel riding the metro. |

The suns rays warm us. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine. |

Simply can't argue with beauty. |
|
& they forgone the traditional rules of building height as the Chinese came in and invested in a tall black eyesore. |
|
Observing Paris. |
|
L'amour
(Photos like this of both my parents remind me that there is happiness waiting somewhere) |
|
Oh gosh. Eurostar. |
|
You'd probably this this is London Bridge. You're so wrong.
Tower Bridge - London, England. |
|
Just because everyone wants to get into 10 Downing Street |
That was granted an extremely lengthy post but I like pictures and I wanted to relive my journey through a small part of Europe. I would do it all again one day should I have the financial means to do so. Its at times like this when I pray for a good life where money isn't really an issue. Till then, work hard, play hard and I shall post soon.
xx,
rach.
