I finally have the time and energy to sit down to type out this post about Florence and London. I left Paris on Boxing Day to Florence and was all hyped up to go Prada shopping. Unfortunately, I fell sick upon touching down and struggled to get better. I came down with a very bad fever and could not enjoy myself as much. I felt like I was going to die. Despite falling ill, I still pulled through to see some of the famous sites in Florence and try out some of the great Italian food.
And of course, do my Prada shopping.
We also made some friends on the trip. While on the train to the Prada outlet mall, we met two Malaysians. Immediately, everyone clicked and it helped that we all speak Malay. They were very fashion-savvy too, and they helped us to make decisions on our purchases. Azlan and Saiful invited us over to Kuala Lumpur some time next year for high tea, and we are making plans for it. I cannot wait to see them again.
And London is the time to meet up with old and new friends. Over the past few days, I met up with my sister’s primary school classmate, Terence and his friends, and a few of my ex colleagues. I feel as if London is a home away from home. I also caught Mamma Mia (again!) and Wicked. Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to Windsor Castle and Stonehenge, before catching Billy Elliot on Thursday. There isn’t much time left.
I can’t believe I’m leaving Europe on Friday! ARGH!
