K & I been trying to
decide on a destination for our Honeymoon for quite some time, and although we
aren't following tradition and going right after our September wedding, we'll
be going the year after. There are a few reasons why, most of them are because
of me being in a new job and most likely not being able to take time off, so we
decided this would be a better solution.
Firstly we decided on
South Korea. I've wanted to go there for a long time, and I was 100% convinced
that's where I really wanted to go, however, being a woman you know what we're
like! Just kidding!
The reason I re-thought
our plans was because I knew K wanted to go back to Europe. He had been there
before a few years ago with his family, but missed out on a lot of things he
wanted to do and see, like more of the British Museum, or more time in Rome -
which he is fascinated with. We had spoken about leaving the European trip
until we were old (retired and walking with canes), but I thought, 'do
I really want to do that when I'm old??'
I probably spent a good
day thinking about this, thinking 'can I survive the long haul plane
trip? I've done 14hrs when I went to the USA (and almost went mad), it
cant be too bad right? Right?'
Finally, I ended up
telling K, 'lets do it'. I'd much rather travel Europe whilst
we're still young, as its basically a once in a lifetime trip. We can do South
Korea at anytime we go to Hong Kong as it's only 4 hours away, and perhaps, be
a good destination for future family trips with the children!
Needless to say, K
didn't need much convincing!! Haha
So at the present, I am
planning like a lunatic, I have spreadsheets of different routes, different
destinations with every cost detailed so we know exactly what we're doing, and
where we're going.
If its one thing I've
learnt from K, (apart from learning how to work a DSLR!) is how to plan. He is
an absolute expert when it comes to planning, and me being such a forgetful
oldie, it comes in handy.
So far, our route will
consist of; Rome, Florence, Venice, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, &
London. I've basically lived on Viator (check
it out!) to see what day trips, and tours we can do in each city. I used this
website regularly last year, and bought a whole bunch of tours and attraction
tickets for my trip to the US. It makes things so easy, and it's affordable as
well.
Once we've fine tuned
our itinerary, and have all the places we want to go, we'll take it to our
travel agent and see what fabulous deal they can give us! (hopefully a good
one!! Haha)
So my question is; what
is the best place/attraction you've been to in Europe? I would love some travel
tips, advice, tidbits and alike to help plan the best honeymoon EVERRRRR.
