A gyst on just concluded"European Dream Tour".

Six Nations, 22 participants(with three relatives joined from London for a day), all kith and kin helping each other, very pleasant weather, sumptuous Indian meals every night, bewildering scenes of nature with water falls in its various phases, historical monuments dating back to thousands years plus, transport par excellence, Hotels of immaculate quality and a guide, punctual, disciplined & highly knowledgeable etc. etc.what else you need for an excursion/exploration.

The project European Dream Tour 1 was conceived in the mind of "SN Bhagyashree" and was ably supported by all participants who are all brothers, sisters and their spouses and was assisted by Rajendrakumar and Amar. These three interacted with "Make My Trip" executive Madhuri for over four months and Made this dream tour possible.It was meticulously executed by Mr. Ashir the Tour manager who appeared very strict on the face but was punctual and professional in his approach without which we would not have covered so many places in such a small duration at a throw away price.

The journey started from Paris France covering Eifel Tower, Arch de Trimph, and Chapels and museums and proceeded towards Brucells Belgium where we saw different types of palaces and monuments, Autominium. From there on we went to Amsterdam Netherlands to see an enchanting, scenic and colourful Tulip Garden and had a cruise on river Amstel which criss cross the city.

Then went to the historical city Cologne Germany with wonderful structures including Cologne Cathedral and visited Black Forest to have a view of the making of the world famous Coockoo Clocks. Our next visit was to Zurich Switzerland founded by Romans during 15 Bc. It has St. Peters Church and the world famous ETH University whose Allumini include Albert Einstein, John Paul Newmann the father of computer algorithms. From here on we went to Interlakenhoheweg city after visiting the city of Lucerne with its famous carvings of dying Lions. The Interlakenhoheweg is a must see place for Indians as the statue of late Yashchopra is erected there naming him as the Brand Ambassador of the city for making Alps valley popular for Bollywood film shooting.

Then went to Engleberg and participated in an Indian Disco. Next morning visited the snow clad Mt. Titilis via three different modes of cable cars including a Revolving one.

Our next destination was Milano Italy where we saw the statue of Leanardo da Vinci the man who painted Monalisa and Last Supper. We could not see the painting of last supper painted on the wall of the Chapelas it was fully booked. Had an Orientation tour of Milano the fashion hub of the world covering "Gallerio Vittorio Emanule" a double Arcade glass vaulted Structure, through various modes of transport, Metro, Tram and Taxi. Had a taste of Italian Pizzas.

Finally we left Milano Airport and and even after reaching Bangalore from where we started, we still continue to dream the events, the sceneries, the people, places etc. etc.

If a SWOT analysis is to be made in this case.Our Strength is our numbers, Weakness was the last minute issue of visa to some members, the Opportunity is the professionalism of the Make my Trip and threat was rain which did not hamper us in any visits.

Hats off to MAKE MY TRIP guys including Ashir and our own Amar and finally the ever Energitic "BANGARI"
