I can't believe I did it but I did it. I bought the flight ticket already. I can't believe I bought it, but I did it. Ok, I've been studying Europe diligently, spend more time looking for flight tickets and hotels than studying for my final exam papers which I just completed today by the way wohooo...I bought from Qatar Airways and have been trying to buy the ticket since last week but no avail. At first, the price is RM 3459 for KL-Munich-London-KL which not bad especially involving multicity and I've check KL-London returns around RM 3200. Then, last week Thursday, the price gone-up to RM 3600 and I admit I was a little bit panic, because it is way up from my budget. I googled it and the expect said perhaps the price will do down again maybe on Monday, so fair enough. I guess somebody want me to stop obsess with the ticket and study for my finals instead. However, since I'm obsess and can't study, I looked again and the price has go down to RM 3345 which is for me worth it and I tried to buy it and somehow my credit card cannot go through. Ok, I get the sign, study first then buy ticket. So, today after completing the last paper, I manage to buy the ticket easily, talking about coincident, right? Syukur, the price is still the same.
So, what happen so far is that the first thing I did for Europe project is to confirm the date which is 1 May to 18 May. Second thing I did was of course to apply for leave. I tried to fool like applying the first half week, first and then 3 days later applied another one week. I just don;t want to make it look obvious. Yeah, brilliant, plan right? Not, of course they will found out hehe. The third thing I have done was booking a room in Moreton-in-Marsh, Cotswold. It is above my budget, but I have to because the place is near to train station and bus station. As I mentioned in previous post, I will go around Cotswold by bus and I already got bus schedule from internet and from TripAdvisor's Phil-the-bus. He event draft itinerary for me to cover the places I want to go in two days. Such a sweet guy. (I think he is a guy).
So, I already booked a hotel in Fussen and again, it was above my budget but again, it is near to train station and around 5 minutes from the castles. Yeah, I done a lot of booking without the flight ticket and so far, I've been charges with deposit for the hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh.
So, now I need to get accommodation in London, perhaps I will book Tune Hotel in Paddington after coming back from Munich and hotel in Bayswater before and after Cotswold. I also still need to buy ticket from Munich to London and return train tickets from Munich to Fussen as well as Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh.
As some part of my journey, I will be alone, so I need to find hotel with good location and good security so that is why I went for hotel that is near to train stations or any public transports. I use Tripadvisor reviews for my reference. I also need to fork up some money as I can' split the bills with anyone but I think I will manage it. I think.
So, that is update so far and will continue to plan for Fussen, Cotswold and London itinerary. I might need to cut back some shopping budget. Hmmm
