Return Fr Europe Backpack-2

Shah...FYI sepanjang perjalanan kami ..kami sll bincang ttg apa yg telah kami baca dlm forum ni esp yours
and Aweganu nye posting..banyak membantu.

Yup…that’s the amount spend. You can say it is cheap cos persiapan and bekalan awal agak banyak. Our
luggage weigh 13kg masa pergi and balik 14kg..tu pun selepas byk barang makanan habis but diganti dgn
souveniers lak . Masa kami travel, sepatutnya spring time but looks like suhu masih sejuk. On the average about 10 degrees
celcius. Masa kami melawat Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe) suhu was –ve 9 degrees!, Jadi tak perlu bawa banyak pakaian untuk
bersalin. I think I cuma salin shirt and jeans 3 kali saja throughout my traveling. Bawa balik baju bersih yg tak bersalin.

Some of the tips and bekalan yang perlu kita beri perhatian..

1)our backpack beg..make sure yang tahan lasak. Kalau boleh jgn beli knack beg yg top load..beli yg berzip yg boleh buka
keliling sebab kalau topload setiap kali nak ambil barang dari beg kita kena punggah. Kalau yg berzip senang simpan/ambil...
pakaian kita boleh digulung2 untuk mengmaximisekan space. A few brand yg tahan lasak adalah Deuter, High Sierra or Vertical.
I stayed with a Thai couple kat Munich and they are having tough time to load and unload pakaian due to topload beg.
They admire our beg yg berzip kat keliling. To yang I teringat nak share this tip kat sini.

2) Jgn lupa beli beg yg bergantung kat tengkok untuk simpan passport, ticket, cards n cash. Beli yg material nipis but
tahan lasak. Nipis spy tak berat ditengkok. Recommended brand, EC Go. Some suka beli pouch kat
pinggang .. but for me its more convenient yang bergantung sebab better protection and senang to
retrieve tickets/passport. I beli beg ni for RM16.00

3) Oh ya..make sure ada credit card. Masa I nak buat hotel booking via Tourist Information counter kat
Paris, they do not accept cash.

4) Kasut lak..make sure bawa sandle bertali made from 100% rubber..leh bawa berjalan and to toilet. Klau
kain tu..bawa gi toilet & klau basah lambat kering pulak. I beli kat Royal Sport shop..jenis “after sport
wear” brand Rider. Jgn lupa sneaker sbb nak backpack ni byk jln so kasut sneaker kena yg comfortable
dan durable gak. Kalau wear kasut yang tak selesa.. wow bayangkan la dengan 13kg load and the amount
of milage nak berjalan…jaga kaki sentiasa sihat babe.

5)Telekong..klau boleh hand carry. My flight transit kat Dubai..masuk bilik sembahyang taada disediakan
telekung.

6) Beli roti jenis loaf sebab murah. Boleh makan masa breakfast and lunch cicah ngan sambal or curry yang
kita bawa. Jangan lupa bawa sambal sebab youll miss it especially bila terbau kebab fr the roadside.

7) EuRail Pass kena beli outside Europe country. Eurail pass entitle for free ride at some local transport and discounts bila travel Eurostar and Ferry Dover-Calais-Dover as well as discounted ticket to some local transportation. Sebelum bertolak make
sure dah beli EuRail Pass. EuRail pass ni membolehkan kita travel to 18 europe countries within 15days in the 1st class couches.
Eurail Pass E$820 untuk 2 org (RM3,772 or RM1,886 seorg)

8) Kita boleh masuk at any B&B hotel or hostel and ask them for any cheap lodging around. Dalam byk
situasi, the counter people are very helpful to tell us which place offer cheaper rate.

9) Some Eurail train need reservation. When making reservation and was told the seat are fully taken,
don’t just stop there. W e can try and ask from the next counter. Ive experienced in Amsterdam was told there was
no more seat but we kept asking from one counter to another and we got what we wanted at the3rd counter. Kena persistent!

10) Camtu gak masa nak buat reservation excursion to visit Keukonhof (ladang bunga Tulips). Kat Tourist
Information counter said the morning group dah penuh and has to join the afternoon group. Since we are
to travel to Munich that evening, we have to get the morning session. We decided to make inquiry from the agent
just outside the Customer Information and managed to join the morning group.

11) When we were in Munich, asrama yg kami tinggal,EuroYouth Hostel ada sediakan free telephone call to some hotels outside Munich. We made a call (free) to Switzerland to make reservation for Balmers Herberge (BH)-Hostel but was told fully booked.
Then we logged to internet for BH reservation and got it..at even cheaper rate!.Internet rate – 1 hour for E$ 1.50
(abt RM6.75). This is recommended hostel..service bagus, bersih and friendly people especially cleaner dia
nama Jamal (muslim).

12) Being lady’s travelers, security is very paramount to us. Setiap kali kami singgah kat hostels atau hotel
kami takkan lupa bertanyakan arah kiblat and waktu2 bersolat. In a way the tuan hotel/hostel knows that
kami ni orang2 baik dan they will “protect” us..espacially masa kami tinggal kat Amsterdam di tengah2 area dadah and
prostitues…(will elaborate in our story kat Amsterdam, in our later posting). Masa beli belah and bila tuan kedai knows that
we are Muslims.. (tuan kedai pun Morroccon Muslim) they somehow gave discounts to our purchasers.

Masa traveling kita kena ada 2 beg..satu beg besar satu lagi beg kecil yg boleh digendung kat depan. Masa travelling around,
kita bawa beg kecik yg boleh isi bekalan makanan. Beg besar tinggal kat asrama and make sure kunci almari ..tu yg kena
beli extra pad lock. Oh ya ..jangan lupa bawa exercise book untuk catitan perjalanan. I terlupa bawa and beli 1
exercise book yg paling murah kat London cost me 1.50 pound..kira la … =RM9.75. klau kat Malaysia RM0.99 kat Popular
Book Store. So….consider of bawa bekalan from home??? 

Kami ada cita2 nak backpack tour Europe. Tapi disebabkan kos agak tinggi, maka masa diperlukan utk kami menabung utk capai cita2 tu. So sebelom tu, kami akan amik peluang2 yang ada utk conquer South East Asia dulu. Hopefully cita2 kami ni akan tercapai jugak satu hari nanti :-). Jadi tujuan blog ni dibuat adalah utk share pengalaman2 kami dlm misi utk 'conquer the world'. Wish us luck!!!!
