Back to Stockholm again & Spring is NEARING!!!

Back from all the hectic travelling...

First up was Pisa...e feeling of seeing the leaning tower in front of me was just amazing...filled with disbelieve that I am actually there looking at it...

Then went to Florence or Firenze...it was such a charming place...all the architectures of the buildings in Piazza della Signoria blew me away..The Duomo was majestic looking...it was like I was in some kind of fairytale land...climbed up a hill to this park that overlooked florence...the scenery i saw was stunning...There was a fake david there and I posed with him...haha

Next up Venezia or Venice...My fav place...the place of bridges, gondolas, streams, alleys and what not. The saying that if you don't get lost in Venice...you haven't really been to that place yet is so true....Throw the map away and just get lost!!! haha...we eventually found our way back...The Piazza San Marco was really nice...almost comparable to Florence Piazza della Signoria.

Gelato count : 16 scoops...hehe...all the tempting and exotic flavours....MUST TRIES of Italiano!

Came back to slack for 2 days then was off for easter trip!!

Made our way to Geneva...a place the sight of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati cars on the road is not unusual. It was a serene place that shouted a high standard of living...I enjoyed myself at the lake with the gigantuous fountains that shoots up in the sky!! Not to mention all those high-class chocolates by Rohr...Woooooooooooooooooooooooot...

And then to Amsterdam...city of vices and of windmills, flowers, canals, bicycles and clogs. It was interesting to see the red light district, 'coffee shops' and the magic mushroom stores. I tried a drug called Space Shuttles...cost 17.50 Euro per 15g. If eaten in the correct amount intense emotions will be felt and beautiful hallucinations will be seen. I ate 5g only and experience a lost in control of my emotions...once I laughed I couldn't stop laughing..everything seemed very funny...haha...close to the feeling of being drunk but different..I was physically and mentally aware of what I was doing..I didn't take enough to see the visual effects though...then went to Keukenhof...also known as the Garden of Europe and is the world's largest flower garden...was really pretty...but I thought that it was not worth my money[23 Euros]..maybe once in a lifetime thing...

Last but not least...Milano...Land of high-fashion shopping...Coincided with Easter...so not much shops were open...got to experience the carefree life of italians...The Milan cathedral looked like a dazzling castle...it was beautiful! Then the shopping at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was eye-opening...The passage is covered over by an arching glass and cast iron roof, just standing there was overwhelming...

Gelato count : 10 scoops! Hehe...just couldn't stand the temptation...the source of my weight gain...=(

So...I am finally back in Stockholm...but going off soon on my next adventure!!
