Fresh Cuts.

Nothing like my favourites. And I realise they smell like dried flowers. Except these are fresh ones that smells like dried ones. Interesting. The smell is pretty intoxicating.

Europe 2014, Lucerne, Switzerland, Day 01

Day 1// After a long flight from SIN to DOH to ZUR. We have finally landed on Zurich airport! Bought our tickets from the SBB train store and it cost about 30++ chf/pax for the train to Lucerne. The rest of our tickets we booked it online though. Lots of savings and no admin cost! Wanted to get the Swisscom NATAL easy card but it was sold out. You can get it elsewhere though. Like their post office or stores in the town you'll be staying. I got mine from Wengen's post office for 19.90chf. Unlimited data for 2chf/day. Remember to register to use it!

The train to Lucerne was a short one. Left our luggages and we went for sight-seeing. You can get the map of Lucerne at the tourist centre located at the station. And guess what? All the sight-seeing spots are within walking distance!

First up was the Chapel Bridge. It looks pretty, not that fantastic though! I didn't manage to walk it because it rained and whatnot later.

Next, was to the Lion Monument. This was good! Pretty awestruck by how they carved the entire thing out of a natural rock. Superb work!

After that was the Musegg wall. It was so gorgeous and relaxing there. The sights just cleanse your mind of all the hustle in the city. Plus you could climb the tower and walk along the wall! It's a must to do so. Just catching the magnificent view of Lucerne is lovely.

Attempts yoga pose 101.

Then it started pouring like mad. We settle for this restaurant and the meals are huge! Pastas and Pizzas ranges from 20+ to 30+ chf? With mains like steak hitting the 50chf.

In Switzerland, generally there isn't a lot of supermarkets or convenience store. They open around 8am and closes early like 6pm or so. I've only come across convenience store, MH express in Lucern. Also their supermarket, COOP, is almost everywhere. They have yummy pre-packed cold pastas, salads and sandwiches at approx 6chf.

Racha Islands, Coral Island (Phuket)

Day 2 at sunny island Phuket!

We went on a tour package which includes Full day tour of Racha/Raya Islands and Coral Island.

Cost about S$72/pax inclusive of pickup from our secluded resort. It's cheaper if you are from Kata/Patong/Karon area around S$60/pax instead. Use this info as your based rate! I've already done extensive research on prices there.

Started our day with pretty sights and decent breakfast spread.

LOVE EM BACONSSSSS.

Honestly, I miss this place of absolute tranquility.

Always ending the day in the comfort of our canopy beds.

La Bay first up!

A short ride from Chalong Pier.

*cue ecstatic muffles from my mouth*

FISHIES.

Look at the tiny ones!

OH HELL YEAH

No life jackets!

Breathing in human legs for a living.

Next we arrived at Patok Beach! (I think) Too much info a day to cramp in my head. I was just so taken aback with the wonderful sights.

Frolicking in the waters with my babe.

I swear the water is exactly like what you see here. Super magical looking!

I can sun-bathe here all day man.

I was the paparazzi for this "shoot" haha.

And we leave this piece of heaven to our next destination.

Coral Island.

Just a small island with relatively clear waters. But kinda overcrowded though.

Over here you can do parasailing, sea-walking, scuba-diving etc.

With the pretty Russian lady.

Over here at this bridge there was a group of guys. As I started sprinting down it, they started counting down "3, 2, 1" and I started dashing down it! This was all told to me by my friend who was behind me and heard the counting down. Hilarious much. Such a coincidence!
