        i say must ie if you want to see the sun at 9pm. I was in Italy in summer enjoying the summer sales(this one is a real die die must go sales) :lol: and enjoyed alfresco dining at 9pm with daylight still good. So whatever crazy shopping I did, I still had time to enjoy fine dining in the later night with sky still bright. No one feels like sleep is anytime near. Then after that I pop over to Switzerland for my scenic tour, shopping not critical here but the scenary is something to die for. It is quite like Singapore in terms of standard of living except it has alot more natural stuff. I was told bollywood loved making their films there, must be great to hide n dodge around the trees there, simply beautiful. Yes travel in summer is light n can buy more stuff back too!!!!! Joys of a shopping queen! šŸ™‚


        That is the beauty of temperate countries. But during the winter, the sun sets around 3 or 4pm. This is terribly for travelling or sightseeing.

        You made me feeling like going to Europe again this Jun! šŸ˜‰

        Yeah best time to go, even better in July...

            Yeah hurray Shopping queen but i heard everything is very expensive there? :? wat all things to buy lotsa choclates šŸ˜› how bout bags?

            Expensive in Italy or Switzerland? Italy having summer sales, so you will have a whale of a time shopping!!! The sales are very good, up to 70% and great stuff to lug back. I came back almost like Imelda Marcos.. and a few bags too and DON'T FORGET one or two for MIL!!! It can last you no issues for a while... :lol: *calling buds*

            As for Switzerland, it is not really a shopping haven...but a scenic place with memories of nature you would love.

                    Not sure if it is cheaper but even if it is the same, you get rebate of 18% of the VAT at the airport, which you can take it as a discount.

                    This high VAT works out well for us.

                    Actually maybe you can get a Rolex too, again may not be the price but the selection is likely wider than here. Also, if you are a watch lover, then you should really open up your eyes to the variety of beautiful timepieces that originates from this place.

                      ksi:
                      Must try to stay in Zermatt's walking town(car-free village)... Cannot drive into it, everything on foot, only special vehicles can be inside. That was fun experience. I bought a beads counter and some wooden toys from there for my future kid(not even pregnant yet, kiasu or not?) and she did enjoy it after she was born. :lol:


                      The other highlight for me was travelling through the Alps inside our car on a car train..

                      We travelled from Geneva to Zurich, then caught flight home from there, we had a 20+ month old with us then, but not our kid.

                      I actually had an itinerary that I planned myself, let me see if I can dig it out. Very detailed and executable...my kind of travel

                      Everything was perfect until the couple who travelled with us decided to stop over longer at the Lucern Lake for 2 reasons. Our hotel just overlooked it beautifully and they ran out of steam to travel from point to point with us.

                      Must buy? Victorinox swiss knife was our choice and chocolates too.
                      Hi Buddy, can share with me your itinerary? Am thinking of going either there or Chamonix in June... don't know where one is better?

                        for Zermatt and Chamonix, both summer and winter has its own beauty


                        one in Swiss and one in France, on opposite side of the Alps

                        if one is having holiday in Swiss, it is an opportunity to take in that part of France as well, via Geneva
