Europe Trip Planning

We will be going to Amsterdam & Paris from London. Sis had booked the air tickets & train tickets for these 2 places but not the accomodation.

Last night, Sis & I spent 2 hours++ to look at the accomodation in Amsterdam. Boy, it was so tough to find one that is within budget and comfortable. As Spring is the perfect time for travel plus with the flowers' season in Amsterdam, the RATES ARE 100% MORE!

Initially, Sis suggested this hotel, Moevenpick Hotel City Centre but it was way beyond our budget. Guess what, after 2 hours++ of searching, we BOOKED IT! Talking about being efficient! We realised that other options will run up to about the same cost as the rates for Moevenpick, plus this hotel has a free shuttle service to & fro Amsterdam City Centre and the location is safe & convenient. Plus not to mention, 2 elders & a toddler, we just gotta find better ones.

We also booked the tickets for the Keukenhof Gardens, it costs 20 euros per person as entrance fees. Hopefully we are not disappointed by the lack of tulips when we re there!

Now, I m left with the Paris accomodation to book and confirm. Sis has gallantly volunteered to babysit Claire for 2 days so that we (Mum, Auntie-Mum's friend aka Sis' colleague's Mum, PK & Me) can travel in a more relaxed manner.....

Okie, more data mining on hotels accomodation!

*Updates at 1215am, I managed to book the hotel for Paris!! Its a boutique hotel located near to Moulin Rouge, red light district.. The hotel is called Le Chat Noir! Wonder how the elders are going to react to it! LV, Chanel here i come... As if i will buy them! :P
