EuroTrip Part 4 Palace of Versailles (Versailles France)

One of the largest palace in the world (probably the 3rd). The palace is listed as one of UNESCO world heritage. This is the grand palace of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (last monarchs of France).
Some rooms still dont have the ORIGINAL furniture so its empty. After french revolutiion , people sold the valuable items . Some items were only recovered year '94 etc. Initally this palace has no toilet. until 17th history.

All ceilings were painted with Goddess and God inspired painting (Venus , Zeus etc).
and different on each room. Handheld earphones were provided to actually give you the history on each room .

Ceilings were hand painted with Goddess inspired team.
Each painting on ceilings were unique at every room.


Life sized paintings were all over the palace , this was taken at the hall.

EuroTrip Part 3 - Inside & Outside Louvre Museum Paris France

Part of the europe trip was on France which after Switzerland.  So we began the journey at Italy then Switzerland and finally France .
On our 4 days 2 nights in Paris we visited the famous Louvre museum. As museums go, the Louvre in Paris is quite simply a mammoth. The word "museum" may even be unfitting when it comes to the Louvre: the collections are so vast, diverse, and breathtaking that visitors may have the impression of navigating a maze of distinct artistic and cultural worlds. 
Everything was breath taking inside and outside the Louvre. Below are photos we took in Louvre.









EuroTrip Part 2 -Venice and Milan Italy

Venice and Milan are the two most visited places in Italy. 


Venice is famous of Gondola rides and
many hotels were inspired with the Gondola rides one is the famous Venetian hotel in Macau and the famous archade in Genting Highlands Malaysia.

On the other hand ,Milan  has been the famous movie location for some Philippine movies and it has been always beautiful. In Milan , I expected to see the original painting of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper however the site is still on going renovation.
Aside from rich history of Milan , this place is also the fashion capital of Italy. Yay We were
all excited.
