Switzerland Trip December 2021 - Geneva (Day 7 - 12)

 Assalamualaikum wbt and good day people. 😃 This would be my last Switzerland entry this time around. There will be more travel blogs soon, perhaps domestic ones instead of international ones this time? Hehe. Anyway, the last part only involves Geneva, the southern part of Swiss, nearby France border. As I mentioned in Part 1 of our Swiss entry, I did the itinerary for this travel episode two days before we flew. In fact, we made some date changes to our departing flight from Geneva when we were in Bern. How very last minute this trip was. Haha. But I pat myself on the back as I did this myself, and with my husband's trust, I believe I did a good job. Haha. We always do our travel by ourselves, we don't use any tour packages as we like to roam ourselves like the locals. Hehe. 

So here it goes, from Basel to Geneva, it took us 2 hours 50 minutes with 1 train change at Bern. Their train comes without any food or drinks (perhaps because of covid), but you can buy your food at the train cafe. 

Some of the views were spectacular, with greens covered with snow, villages and trees. No wonder people said that Swiss is a very beautiful country. 

Switzerland Trip December 2021 - Basel & Bern (Day 4-7)

 Assalamualaikum wbt and happy day peeps! This would be part 2 of our Swiss trip last year. This will cover day 4 until 7, where we stayed at Basel, plus a day trip to Bern. All of our transportation in Swiss were via trains (to the other cities) and also by walking. Before we boarded our SBB train, we went to Nordsee underneath the Zurich HB for lunch. 

This was a super delish dish! I am not a huge fan of eating fish (apart from fish burgers, which I think is the best burger of all time, and also fish fingers, yummy!) but this dish was extremely yummy! Thanks to Helmi, my cousin's husband for the recommendation.

Switzerland Trip December 2021 - ZURICH & LUGANO (Day 1-4)

Assalamualaikum wbt and good day everyone. I know this blog has been LONG OVERDUE but I still feel like sharing some helpful information with everyone, especially those who are or will be going to Swiss for the first time ever. I don't say that I am an expert in providing advice when it comes to Swiss. This trip that I had was also my first time ever. It was a very last minute planned trip and I did my itinerary 2 days before flying to Swiss. I will share all my hotel's locations (plus the Booking.com link - not affiliated) and also other helpful information in this blogpost entry. 

We boarded Emirates flight EK347 to Dubai from KLIA and departed at 7:10pm. This was our first-day flight ever. My flights to the international route would always be at midnight, as I ❤️ red-eye flights so that my daughter can sleep. But, no issue this time around; she's active and, most importantly, eating the flight meals. I am happy. She also gets to do some activities and play around with the cabin crew as well.

Selamat "Hurry" Raya 2022!

 Assalamualaikum wbt dan salam sejahtera everyone! First and foremost, Anfaal nak ucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri; Maaf Zahir & Batin to all my followers and readers. Ada lagi ke yang masih membaca my blog yang sendu ni? hehe..Kalau ada, I'm so thankful. hehe. 

Kali ni nak share experience Raya tergempar 2022. Alkisahnya kalau ikut calendar kuda, 1 Syawal jatuh pada 3 May 2022. Tapi one week before Raya tu dah kecoh, katanya 1 Syawal akan jatuh pada hari Isnin bersamaan dengan 2 May 2022 instead of 3 May 2022. Time tu, semua kata tunggu lah announcement, jangan melulu pandai pandai buat tilik tarikh. So semua pun berjalan la macam biasa balik. Dah la iolls positive covid 1 week before raya, so confirm la HSO seminggu tak dapat nak keluar rumah. Nasib baik baju raya Marissa dah beli satu before that. So masa kena covid tu, i Grab je my baju raya from Duck app. haha. Jadi lah. Cuma nya, baju raya husband je tak beli lagi. Ingat nak beli 1 week before raya dah tertangguh jadi 1 day before raya baru beli. 

Haha. Singgahlah di SURIA KLCC. Kita pun amik kesempatan ajar anak barang barang antik yang ada kat sana. "Ni TV dulu-dulu, ni telefon dulu-dulu, ni radio dulu-dulu, ni komputer dulu-dulu". Hehe. Dapat la jugak dia tengok kan. 

So, nak dijadikan cerita, on Sunday tu macam biasa je buka puasa dengan family in laws sebab weekend memang selalu akan balik sana. Tak sedar pun yang haritu merupakan hari terakhir Ramadan bagi tahun 2022. 😞 Sedih juga la bila teringat balik kan. Harap sempat lah berjumpa Ramadan 2023 pulak nanti. 

Bila dah Hurry Raya ni, memang semua terjah je lah apa ada. Malam Raya tu semua kecoh call supplier makanan hehe. Nak tukar tarikh. Orang yang menjual makanan pun pening kepala nak masak untuk Syawal esok hari. Memang havoc lah senang cerita. 

Makanan raya kat rumah my mom, janji ada je. Hehe. Alhamdulillah kenyang jugak tak ada pun rasa tak bersyukur. Sebab to us, Raya dah lama tak segah dulu, since my father left us, tok left us, Hari Raya jadi suram. Now, im living my Raya for my daughter. She just turned 4 years old last December so let her celebrate her Hari Raya with her cousins pulak this time around. 

My raya outfit? This was my baju raya, 2021 collection from Lilit. I beli dapat discount hehe. Lilit X Farm Fresh collection. Jadi kena dengan tema kan? Tema tahun ni pink color. 😃 

Second day Raya, family MIL ajak pergi GPO. So we all shoot pergi naik GPO shopping shopping. Manusia jangan cakap la, memang ramai hehe. Time ni memang dah tak pakai baju kurung dah. Baju raya pun ada satu pasang je. Kita recycle balik baju raya tahun tahun lepas hehe untuk raya ke 3. 

Anyway, dikesempatan ni, Anfaal & Family ingin mengucapkan

Sehingga berjumpa kembali,
