Assalamualaikum
Selamat Hari Raya Eidulfitri to all readers! It's a month of Syawal in Hijri calendar. While in Malaysia, we're having lots of open house and makan-makan invitation. Later, don't forget to burn off that excess fats guys. We need to be healthy and fit to perform our ibadah, barulah boleh buat dengan focus.
Now, let's get back to our subject. We only managed to cover 3 countries but the journey feels like forever. It drained us a lot, like we had back to back flights and sleepover at the airport. Imagine my parents whom were in their late 50s and need to bear with the hectic itinerary. Alhamdulillah, we arrived safely and everything went well.

The itinerary was quite packed and all the trips were planned by yours truly, however, we took full package for Bursa trip from Istanbul. The price is reasonable and we enjoyed our trip especially on the Mount Uludag trip. We waited for the bus at the Sultanahmet Square and were dropped at the same place. The only downside of the package is we have to follow the group consisting of 2 families.
Overall, the trip was memorable and enjoyable despite the few setbacks that we experienced. We get to experience riots in Athens, a little discrimination while we were strolling in the airport and streets in Rome, and the most nerve wracking event when we accidentally left a luggage with personal valuables at the Athens airport during midnight and to make it worse, it was raining heavily that night. Wanna know the whole story? I'll try my best to finish the stories within few entries, InsyaAllah. Oh Mood, please come to me! Haha. Till the next entry, please stay tuned! :)
p/s: Sorry for the outdated post as this entry were kept as draft for few years, hence the Raya wish. Peace! Do keep reading our latepost okay! #kssh #lilitrips #lafamilia
