Well, all my travel plans this year have been dashed in 2020 due to COVID 19. All I can do is go back to the memory lane in 2018 and remember my 11N/12Days Euro trip back in August 2018 which I had planned it 6 months prior to the trip. Visiting Europe was like a dream come true for me as I had visited places like London, Paris, Switzerland, Austria, Venice, Vatican City, Pisa, Rome, and Milan in my trip itinerary. Back when I was a kid I had only imagined visiting these places but in 2018 this imagination had very much come true. We had our UK and the SCHENGEN visas ready for our Euro trip. Filled with excitement and joy we departed on 13th Aug 2018 from New Delhi with a 3hrs Layover at Doha by onboarding Qatar airways. So after 9 hrs of the tiring journey, we arrived at Heathrow International Airport in London on 14th Aug evening. The cool breeze and a lovely atmosphere at Heathrow airport London energized my tired body in minutes. Then from the airport, we went to the Crowne plaza resort at West Drayton in London. The resort was surrounded by greenish parks, trees, and some amazing sceneries that made our day to enjoy in resort with some blended wine and mouth-watering snacks.
