An ex colleague, Angie and myself decided to take a pilgrimage tour that wasn't to Europe from 17-29 Sept 09 organized by Tom Fernandes from Johore Bahru.
Tom, 79 years old was definitely not fit to be a tour guide anymore. During the tour someone was lost at some point of time due to poor instructions by our guide and the local guide and she had to fork out 65 euro for taxi fare to the hotel and another 40 euro for enquiry service and our tour guide didn't even have the courtesy enquire about her wellbeing.
In my opinion, our tour guide was incompetent and insensitive but he was very boastful about himself. Declaring how successful his career and business were and a big fat acccount in the bank but he failed to refund us the portage tip of 1 euro which was not provided and he pocketed the refund from the hotel. What a dishonest man.
Airfare RM10,148 with meals and lodging minus some lunches while on the road. Boarded Air Asia to Singapore. Spent a few hours with my son and his family. Flew to Amsterdam later that night and connect to Rome to arrive at about 9.30am. It was autum. Rome was warm like Malaysia, La Spezia was a bit cold in the night. Lourdes was very nice. Spain, Burgos, Portugal, Lisbon, Amsterdam cold at night but the day can be cool to warm.
No jet lag because slept most of the time in the plane and arrive at 3.30pm at Singapore and connect back to KL to arrive about 8pm.
