 Emeryn's X'mas gift from Germany

We touched down at Penang Airport at about 11am on Mon, 18th Dec. Uncle Leonard waited for us at the airport and surprise mummy with a bouquet of flower. We don't have any issue with jet lag and Emeryn even went over to Theng Ee Ee's house to meet her beloved baby cousin bro. That evening Uncle Leonard drove mummy to Por Por's house to collect back her car which Toki Ee Ee was driving. We had a family dinner together before going home.

Mummy's daily routine started the next morning. Emeryn went out for the daycare's outing too. On and off Emeryn spent her day at Theng Ee Ee's house when mummy was at work. On Fri evening, mummy and Uncle Leonard made themselves a so-called candlelight dinner at home while Emeryn was still at Ee Ee's house.

On Sat, mummy sent Emeryn to Por Por's house where she overnight there while mummy and Uncle Leonard went out for a dinner at Hard Rock Cafe followed by a movie date. The next morning, mummy went over to Por Por's house to pick Emeryn to her Maths tuition. It was her first tuition class, in preparation of 2018. We hang out at Por Por's house after the class before going home.

London & Europe Trip

We were away for our first ever long trip to London & around Europe. We flew from Penang to KL on 26th Nov, Sun 6.50am and waited till 7.20pm before we finally boarded our flight from KL to London. In between, the lay over was in Dubai. The whole journey took about 18hours+ inclusive the transit. We touched down at Heathrow at 7.10am, passed the immigration and boarded the booked bus transfer to Victoria Coach station. In an hour time we reached the station but we took much longer time to find our accommodation even though it was quite near.

We were so lucky that we don't encounter jet lag at all. We survived the whole day without getting a rest but finally surrender when we were at the Apollo Theatre watching Wicked. Emeryn was too tired and she basically slept through 80% of the screening time.

London was our first destination and we spent 2 days there before taking an overnight coach to Amsterdam. From there we spent 3 days and flew to Munich before taking a train to Salzburg. Emeryn left her Patrick doggie at Munich and mummy had tried her best contacting the hotel but they can't find it. Emeryn was devastated beyond words and cried. Patrick was so precious to her and yet we left "him" behind. Upon reaching Salzburg we were greeted by the snow fall. The next day we experienced snow storm at Hallstatt and it was a beautiful experience for us even though it was our second time experiencing snow. Next we headed to Venice, the romantic city via an overnight train. We went on a half day tour to Murano, Burano and Torcedo. From Venice we took another train to Florence and the next day we visited Pisa, the leaning tower. We took a train to Rome before flying to Paris. Our last destination was back to London before flying home. 

The whole trip took us 21days and we finally reached KL on 17th Dec and mummy's cousin came and pick us to their house. We went for a quick supper and went back for a quick refreshment and managed to grab few hours of sleep before heading back to the airport again in order to fly home. We reached Penang at 11am and mummy took the day off.

The trip was indeed tiring with us lugging our luggage around and moving from place to place. Nevertheless it was such an experience and eye opener for us. We will definitely be back again.
