The Start of Our Fantastic Trip to Europe
By traveltripz on Oct 30, 2006 in Singapore, Sydney, Europe, Asia, Italy, Florence

In 2001, My friend Paula and I decided to go to Europe for a holiday. I had always wanted to go to Italy and especially Florence. However Paula convinced me that as we were going to be flying all the way from Australia, we should visit a few more place than just Florence.
After the excitement of planning the trip, with the fabulous travel agent from American Express, we set off from Sydney to Singapore.
What a pleasure it was to land in Singapore, the airport is just great with lots of beautiful orchid garden arrangements.
The ladies that we worked with at Medicare, brought us a cute little stuffed toy dog to take on our travels and he was called ‘Chilli’. His adventures will also be included in our travelogue.
We only spent two days in Singapore but they were action packed as there is so much to see.
The shopping wasn’t that great as the prices were comparable with Australia, which is not cheap.
More to come.
