I’ve visited Europe twice so far. Once when I used to live in the Middle East and second time was this year May. This trip i’ve gone to United Kingdom, Belgium and, Germany. It was an exciting trip as I’ve seen different countries than last time. It’s always fascinating going back there. Culture, food and life style is different in each country. I always want to come back. In fact my dream is to live there one day.
First day we landed to United Kingdom, London. Stayed there for total of 5 nights. First day was jet lagged of course. The most memorable memories for me in London is taking the train and going to Cambridge. Spent the whole day there. Very peaceful area. It has shops and a lot of scenery. Took a tour by the boat across the university. And, after that reserved a nice afternoon tea in a nearby restaurant. The afternoon tea experience is a must do experience in London.
Another thing Ioved about the UK is that everywhere you go, you will find art or statue or an old historical building. They are just all around you.
Now, Let me talk to you about my second destination. Which was Belgium. The chocolate and the waffle country. Believe me they are not joking about the chocolates. The chocolate is just the best creamy and melts in your mouth. Love that its not overwhelmingly sugary like most chocolate here is America. The best ones is freshly made. Which they have a chocolate shop everywhere you go! Going to the Chocolate Factory is also a must go. They will start by talking about the cocoa beans and how its made in Belgium. then they have chocolate fountains that you can try all sorts of chocolate before you buy them in the chocolate shop.
Lastly, took the train to Berlin. I loved the multicultural street food everywhere. Something that i missed coming from the Middle East. Small cafeterias sell very affordable foods were at least in every corner I grew up in. Shawarma cafeterias were around me everywhere i went. Loved that the first shawarma place that i found was less than 70 feet away from where I lived.
One of the things I did in Berlin was going to the ….. Park. A very nice park. Took a scooter and drove around. Ended up to Berlin zoo. Which was a nice ending for the trip. A must see locations in Berlin is Museum Island. It is an area filled with museums.
Overall, each place offered something different. Had a different vibe
