Sisters Trip

Just a glimpse of the trip that I took last winter with my little sis and our friends. We decided to travel around Western Europe a bit.
(Probably the most expensive trip I've ever been to *cries*)

However, I still enjoy the trip so much.

London was gloomy and sometimes its raining, but still the city is so pretty. We did a lot of fun things around London and shop till our shoulders drop at the Oxford Street.
Brussels also welcome us with light shower on and off.
Bruges on the other hand is wonderful. The medieval town is looking magical and dreamy. We take a cruise to go around the water canals. Stopped by at the shops selling Belgian laces and chocolates. (basically just stared at the shop windows and stuffed ourselves with crunchy hot french fries)
Amsterdam got us in awe. I love the fact that the city is so convenient to go around by bicycle. Spent a lot of time in the city, went to Albert market to taste fresh made Stroop waffles and cold pressed juice. I even had a chance to get some impulse purchase done at the very last minute. 

Being able to travel with my sis is a huge blessing, seeing that I only have 2 years left here. I'm glad that we decided to do this together. 

Writing this post in order to recap on the trip and reminiscing the great time we spent together. Unexpected events, twists and turns (huhuhu) we made through it all safely. Alhamdulillah
