TRAVELOG : CONQUER 8 COUNTRIES (EUROPE) IN 16 DAYS

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..

ALHAMDULILLAH.. this vacation trip is one of the most precious moment in my life. i went there with kelana convoy travel agency. also with me , my beloved friends :) we went there last summer, around june. take few hours flight from Jordan to London.  then from London our journey begun.. we have conquered 8 countries in Europe in just 16 days!! and this is a budget trip!! you just need about 1700 Jordanian Dinar.. which is equivalent about 9000 Ringgit Malaysia.. but it is really cheap compared if we did it alone! i bet you need more than this if you travelling on your own.

i said this is a budget CAMPING.. hehe yeah. we slept in camping site. in a tent provided by them. just pay about 5 pound for a tent. or you can simply bring your own tent if u want. but in Swiss, we were advised to sleep in a cabin which cost 10 pound because the weather there is quiet cold. so actually you have 2 choices, whether to sleep in a tent, or in a cabin. if you are with family, its better to have a cabin so that you don't need to build up the tent every time in each country.

Day 1: London to Amsterdam
We depart from Park Lane, London (click here for departure details) at 8am sharp! and travel down to Dover, from here we take the ferry across to France .
