Rome

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the long hiatus as I have been busy the whole summer.

Today, I would like to update on Rome - the eternal city. I first went to Rome in summer '11. The weather was great, but there were a few days where it was too hot for me as temperatures were as high as 37 degrees Celsius.

Here are some photos taken at Vatican, St. Peters Basilica and Colosseum.

And here are some pictures taken in the Basilica:

And some pictures taken outside the Colosseum:

Not forgetting, the Spanish steps:

Haha, I just had to squint my eyes - twas too sunny without my pair of Rayban.

And lastly, the Trevi fountain:

KFC, anyone?

Kelantan Freid Chicklen, anyone?

Saw this photo on Only In Malaysia's Facebook page. Certainly made me burst out laughing and my Tuesday has never been more eventful. Haha.

...and "resipi orang kita, rasa macam dia" is a gem of a slogan! Hahahaha! It literally translates to: Recipe by our people, tastes like him/her.

Zaanse Schans, Amsterdam

On our second day at Amsterdam, we went to Zaanse Schans for the windmills, cheese, museum, arts and craft and for the other touristy things.

From the central station at Amsterdam, we took the train and got off at Koog Zaandijk. From Koog Zaandijk station, it was about a 10 minute walk to Zaanse Schans.

Whilst on the way to the village:

A group photo :D

Isn't the scenery beautiful?

While En was in the toilet, I spotted a pair of unique ducks that was the least shy in the eyes of the camera. I went very near to it, and it started posing...
