Day 1 - Departure

[23rd October] We were joining a Malaysian Tour Group as part of Golden Destinations. We had to meet them at Kuala Lumpur International Airport to take the flight together. We took a flight to KL and transfered at Oman Airport. Sadly, the in flight entertainment had no sound for one of the main flights.

Day 2 - France

Paris

[24th October] Visited a very crowded Eiffel Tower in the morning, and had a good Chinese Zi-Char style lunch. Stopped by the Louvre Museum for some photos, then headed to Galeries Lafayette for some shopping and Cafe Food & Ice Cream, with a nice top floor view at The Terrace . Dinner was quite underwhelming with a bland tasting Steak, and I tried Escargots for the first time. Not a fan. Ended the day a night Seine River Cruise , but would have preferred to go for the cruise in the day as everything looked similar at night.

Day 3 - Belgium

Brussels

[25th October] Started the day with a long bus ride but had a nice photo stop at break place. Had Mussels in Brussels at a restaurant in City Hall . Saw a peeing statue Manneken Pisand lots of people crowding around it.Long wait for the food and it wasn't too great. Afterwards, took some nice photos at the Atomium .

Day 4 - Netherlands

Zaandam | Amsterdam

[26th October] One of my favorite days of the Trip. Started off the day heading to the Windmill Village , where we saw a few demonstrations such as the Wooden Shoe Carving and the Cheese Factory . Later in the afternoon, we headed to a Fishing Village at Volendam for lunch. Another underwhelming meal with an overcooked steak :( Thereafter, we headed to Amsterdam for another River Cruise . At this point River Cruises were kind of boring so I switched to Japanese Audio for the Audio Tour to practice my Japanese. We also headed to Red Light District but no photos were allowed.

Day 5 - Germany

Cologne

[27th October] Quite a short day as we only visited the area around the Cologne Cathedral. Bought a nice Starbucks and walked around. Visited the Train Station , took some nice photos on the Hohenzollernbrücke Bridge and took a walk around Rhinegarten Park .

Day 6 - Germany Switzerland

Heidelberg | Schaffhausen

[28th October] Started off with a very cool day and visited Heidelberg Castle . Later, we drove past Germany's Black Forest and had some German pork knuckle for lunch. Also stopped by Lake Titisee for some photos, and we learned about the history of Cuckoo Clocks . We then drove to Switzerland's Rhine Falls and had some really delicious Chicken Tikka Masala that cost 18 Swiss Francs. So happy that I ate it because there was a traffic jam due to an accident and the bus driver also made a wrong turn which caused us to reach our hotel almost 3 hours later at around 9pm.

Day 7 - Switzerland

Engelberg | Lucerne

[29th October] One of the best days of the trip. Headed to an excursion at Mount Titlis where we took a cable car to the midway point then took the world's first Revolving Cable Car . There were quite a few activities at the mountain such as the Glacier Cave , Cliff Walk and the Ski Lift . Had a great lunch at the Panorama Restaurant, then we headed to Lucerne for some sightseeing. Ended the day with one of the most value for money meals - Pizza Poulet Curry which cost 13 Swiss Francs that the two of us shared and struggled to finish.

Day 8 - France Switzerland

Colmar | Zürich

[30th October] Final day of the trip! Time passed so quickly. Started off the day heading back to France, Colmar. Took a tram ride in the morning for a tour of Colmar . Visited Little Venice and had one of the best meals - Steak . We walked through the city and saw some churches . Thereafter, we headed to Zürich and saw a nice Statue . One of the coolest things we saw was people playing Outdoor Giant Chess . With that, we made our way to Zürich airport for our flight back.
