Holiday Cancelled

We supposed to have our family holiday this coming June 2012 in Switzerland. But due to the unforeseen circumstances, we cancelled our holiday and we move it hopefully by next year. One of the main reason why our holiday has been cancelled was because of our tourist visa.

We don’t have a visa yet and we need to apply since it is a three-month holiday. We have been informed that if we want to apply for a visa, we should prepare the necessary documents and requirements three months before our planned departure date. The processing of visa will also take 4-8 weeks so we need to stay in Manila during that period of time.

Our holiday is sponsored by my mom but I was informed that even if its an all expense paid holiday, it is not an assurance that our visa will be approved. They need a bank account statement showing our balance and cash flow transactions, income tax return and other proof of financial resources. Oh well, at least we know what are the requirements that we are going to comply so that next year we are already prepared for our visa application. 

 

A Family Holiday Vacation Sailing

Aside from traveling around Europe, one of my dream travel destination is to go visit and sail away at the most appealing sailing destination in the world, and that’s located in Croatia. Ive heard so much about this place when my friend went for an adventurous vacation sailing.  She said that its the world’s most indented sailing area.It offers a variety of attractions and opportunities for each visitor from special and exciting aspects of sailing to a great many attractions where only Croatia can offer.

A sailing Croatia holiday would be the best holiday experience for me. I was enticed by my friend so I will definitely check out some discounted holiday deals for me and my family. We would love to experience the stunning setting for a sailing holiday.

I’m sure we would enjoy spending the day island hopping while exploring those rocky coves, then return to harbour and enjoy an evening meal in one of the many picturesque villages. Apart from the spectacular beauty of its many beaches and bays, we could also explore the distinctive culture, history and cuisine of this splendid area. We can’t wait for our holiday vacation sailing soon.

 

 

A Tour of Classic European Style Homes

I really admire looking at these classic European inspired homes just like this beautiful European house that my mom took during her tour in Regensberg, Zürich, Switzerland. European house is such a reminder of the beauty and history of the Old Country.

Its design features  with brick, stone or stucco exteriors present an elegant look with rich, ornamental detailing. European houses has a distinct look and feel. It has great architectural elements from French country, Spanish, Italian, and Mediterranean house plans.

I’m one of those people who fell  in love with the idea of a European house. It looks so sophisticated and luxurious because of the blend of modern and historical, its beautiful form and style where people could appreciate its beauty.

European style house plans nowadays offer grand exteriors and exquisite ornamental details. This style offers as many architectural influences as diverse as the countries from which they originate. European house plans have quite a romantic feel that is reminiscent of castles of long ago.

European style home plans offer a touch of elegance and refined style and they are a reminder of the history and the beauty of the Old Country while exhibiting that old world charm. It’s all about the sense of luxury inside and out. If luxury and expansive living areas with a touch of elegance are your criteria for your dream home plan, then perhaps European style house are exactly your style.

The Beautiful Mainau Island

My mom recently had a tour together with her friend in Mainau Island, Germany. Here’s some of the beautiful lake photos that she captured during their tour.

Bodensee Lake

Mainau is an island in Lake Constance on the south shore of the Überlinger near the city of Konstanz, Germany.

It is also called as a  “flowering island” because it is notable for its parks and gardens.
