We began our trip to Europe on 17 May 2009.
This trip was planned about a year ago. The idea for this trip was introduced by Arif ( a buddy of more than a decade). Reason for the trip was to visit his friend in Paris. From a trip to just one country became a 3 weeks vacation to 4 different places.
We went to Munich( Germany), Amsterdam( Netherlands), Paris( France) and Barcelona( Spain).
A group of 7 people on a journey of stress reducing fun!
Main things we did before moving off was book the hostels at hostelworld.com, plan the places of interest we wanna visit ( which got amended constantly), get the eurail pass (it’s free at some countries but others that you have to make reservations for, gets you discounted price ), change currency, pack our bags ( important stuff like passport, extra cash, reservation papers are to be kept somewhere safe).

We set off from Changi Airport 17 May 2009 at about 11pm.
A lot of family and relatives came to send us off. 2 members of the crew went a few days ahead as the tickets were not bought together due to last minute crewmate additions. ( Original plan was for only 4… I’m the only person who didn’t invite anyone along, hehe)
I had a little trouble with my ticket… I bought it online but when I got there they said that the system could not find my reservation even with the refrence number I provided… But all is well since there were not much people flying to Munich ( thank God! )
So we were off! 5 people, 4 destination , 3 weeks…
The flight took 14 hours…
