Milano, Italy

Hi!! Sorry for the long hiatus, been busy lately haha. Here`s my first post for the year 2015! I was in London again last December, with only a 24-hr layover, we only did some shopping for Christmas! And then Kuala last January, but it was a very short layover, I just stayed in after I got some groceries lol. Anyway, for my February roster, I got Milan and Kuala for my international flights with layover! :)

Luckily, my flying partner for the month of February is a Filipina as well, and she has relatives in Milano, which made going to tourist spots easier. Just like Rome, we use a narrow body aircraft on our flights to Milan. And we only had 54 passengers going! It was a red eye flight so everyone was sleeping ;)

The weather was so bad the day we arrived though. It was freezing cold, and snowing!!! <3 We arrived at 7 in the morning, local time, and we arrived at the hotel at around 9. If it wasn`t my first time in Milan, I wouldn`t go out. The weather just makes me want to stay in and cuddle... with the pillows and the blanket haha. We didn`t get a chance to get around that much because of the weather, so here are some photos I`d like to share <3

When in Rome

Heeey, this post is long overdue haha. So, last October 31st, we had a 26hr layover in Rome, Italy!! I was super excited to see another Europe city and since the aircraft we use for flights to Italy is just the narrow body one, it`s a plus that we`ll only have a few passengers on board ;) And so we did, super light load on the way to Rome woohoo! This one`s my personal favorite flight so far ;)

We arrived in Rome at about 1-2 in the afternoon, it was quite a long drive to the hotel. After we arrived, we went to our rooms to change and rest for a while before we go out. Luckily, we had another Filipina with us, she`s our senior and she knows the way around. We all went to the Vatican that evening. As I mentioned in my previous post, again, I`d like to think our company is so thoughtful for letting us stay in a beautiful hotel which is just beside the metro! Talk about convenience haha.

London in October

Hey everyone! I finally got time to write about my first Europe layover :) When the October roster came out, my roommate and I were so excited that we`ll be flying partners for the whole October :) We were blessed to have two Europe flights for this month :)

Last week, I had a 29hr layover in London! I don`t know what to feel because it still feels so surreal even after I had the chance to stand almost beside the Big Ben, see the London Eye and step on the Tower Bridge hehe

Anyway, so, it was a very short layover, when we arrived at the hotel, luckily they still serve breakfast, so we had breakfast before we went to our rooms and change, rest for a bit and then went out. Lucky for me, my flying partner has been to London last month so she knows which way we`ll go.

Our company is so thoughtful that they chose a hotel just nearby the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and also the underground train and bus stops :) We bought this unlimited one day pass for £8.90 which you can use on either the train or bus until AM04:00. I took a photo of this bus which the final destination is Notting Hill Gate hehe, I love watching movies and Notting Hill is one of my favorite Julia Roberts film :)
