Romantic France

While deciding on where should we go for our year end vacation, my dearest darling discovered a cheap air ticket to Paris. At only $700++ per person, it is the cheapest fare to Europe, so how can we not catch the opportunity! :) We decided to start our trip from Paris due to the cheap fare. It is going to be a Europe rail trip across 4 countries: France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy.

With 2 large suitcases, off we depart to Paris!

Princess Shayne getting excited with her upcoming trip with mum and dad while her little brother went for his Bedok camp. Sorry boy, we will try out with your big sister first, before we commit with bringing both kids out on our own. 

On board Saudi Air. I am glad it feels comfortable with personal inflight entertainment. Princess Shayne enjoyed the child meal too. Verdict: Value for Money

The flight required a transit in Saudi Arabia airport. Luckily we have no problem waking our little princess up from her sleep. I can't imagine carrying her off the plane. She weighs 20kg now. :)

Shortly after the transit, she is back to watching movies again. Her sleep is totally disturbed as she treasured using the time to watch movies than sleeping. 

Not long after, we reached Paris CDG. Princess Shayne is a great help in pushing the luggages. Since we had been to Paris airport before, we could find the train station easily. 

And we kicked start of journey with a 3hr train ride from Paris to Strasbourg. Can't wait to visit the christmas market in Strasbourg. :)

Shortly after this photo, our little princess fell asleep. Can't blame her as she hardly sleep on board the plane. And so, it was a quiet train ride for darling and I. 

Dar went to buy breakfast from the restaurant carriage, and that kick start my days of bread journey. Bread and butter are my favorite and I am so glad to be able to taste of the best crossiants in this trip. 

After 3hrs, we finally reached Strasbourg. The temperature is 0 degree. Decided to dress my princess up as an eskimo! This is her first trip to such a cold weather. 

Snowy Vacation: Austria - Maria Alm Day 2

Woke up bright and early the next morning and was surprised to find the whole place covered with snow. All the cars and bushes are fully covered under the snow. Lovely lovely scenery which I had not seen for a long long time. It is indeed a dream comes true as we have been praying for a snowy vacation. I had long forgotten how tough it is to walk on snow. 

The ski resort which we will be staying for the next one week. It is still snowing actually.

Check out how deep the snow is! Luckily we are well prepared for the trip. :)

The start of our Snowy Vacation

With our 2 trusty big luggages, we are off to Munich - the first leg of our snowy vacation! This time round, we chose to fly with Emirates because they offered the cheapest price air tickets on the dates that we wanted. :)

View from the plane as we touched down to Munich Airport. We were excited to see the whole place covered with snow. What a great start to our Snowy Vacation. It was dear hubby first snow experience and we can't wait to build a snowman together.

From Munich, we will collect our rental car and drove to Austria - Maria Alm, a small village where we will be staying for the next one week.
