I am not an indoor person, I love to go out and visit new places whenever I get time and money. And fortunately I am able to collect people to roam around every time, I appreciate and am thankful to my family and friends as they are always with me. After I had traveled the entire country, I wanted to go to some new place, luckily in a get together, one of my friends told me about her trip to Europe explaining that the Europe is a must visit place and showed her photographs which totally impressed me. Finally when I made up my mind, I Googled around few keywords and found various options to reach Europe from UK including Ferries, Bus, Eurostar Train, Flights and I found that the cheapest and best keeping in mind the time and cost, Eurostar was a better option.

It was totally a new place when landed at Heathrow Airport, in London on our Day 1 after a long journey. The next day, we packed our bag packs, totally in tourist clothes and took a London bus tour to see such a beautiful city of the world. It was month of May soothing climate and we hung around here and there, clicked photographs, getting familiar with norms of UK. We visited London Eye, Madame Tussuad, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar square, Piccadilly Circus. We went to Oxford next day and saw the University and some other places as well. There are many ways to travel in UK you can go by Train, bus airbus or you can hire your own taxi. London underground was the best experience to travel local in London.

We had already booked entire trip tickets and we traveled to Paris from London in Eurostar. Paris is capital of France and after reaching Paris, we took some rest and this time we did not waste our time in resting much because Paris is such a nice city where you just want to look at the fantasy of nature and world famous creation of artists. We just wanted to capture every place in our cameras you will not believe a point that came where we were running short of memories. We visited Pont Royal and the Louvre Museum, Arc De Triomphe at Night, Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concorde and many museums and gardens they all are full of creation and beauty. We had to cut down our plans as we had to get back to London and from there we had to fly back to our country. From Paris to London, we again took Eurostar because we had taken Eurostar Group Travel Booking facility and had pleasure taking it. We came back to London and all were discussing Paris trip and travel. Everyone was happy and for me it was pride who brought smile on my family and friends faces. I enjoyed it too. Next day we got back to our country and I guess we would cherish Europe throughout our lives and thanks to family, friends and of course Eurostar train, which made our trip memorable.

I think, it is important for everyone to know what to do during your trip and how to plan it properly. Few tips you should remember while planning a trip to Europe -
