Paris oh Paris..Rome pun sama..

Coming this may, there will be a wk off for my hubby. Again, it s due to plant shutdown. definately wat comes to our mind is all about travelling. Where to go??

My Dear & his friends come out with idea to go to Paris..then to Rome since they found cheap air ticket to both destination. By now, the friends already make it confirmed.unlike us..so many things have across my mind..

Yeah it may sound exciting.As a fact, it is at 1st. As usual, the next thg, i do my homework, findings infos bout d destination to go.I am not worry much about attractive places, transport..since definately my Dear would have searched it. Plus is a fact everywhere here in Europe, is not his 1st time. As for me what best for my baby is d priority.

I m not sure how many of you guys really feel travelling with kids is not a problem at all. for me, it is very tough. After all d bad experiences & unexpected circumstances in London, i think i have 2 be more careful this time..

sadly, from my findings:

"Paris is not particularly stroller friendly. It is an old city with lots of stairs and curbs. There will be times when there is no other way to get up or down than to carry baby and stroller together...

and as for Rome..

Rome can be difficult to navigate. There is no comprehensive public transit system (and the system that does exist can be difficult to navigate). Taxi rides might feel reckless (and it's a hassle to haul a car seat around). In general, we love to wander by foot, but to get around town and see the sights quickly, your best bet is one of the red double decker tourist busses that circle the city. A single pass lets you get on and off as many times as you like.

Rome's cobblestone streets are tough on strollers, (many parents opt to use a sling or backpack instead.

among d recommendations is to bring umbrella stroller..well obviously we dont have it..Harris' is considered bulky..weighting appx 8kgs..tats the stroller alone..how bout d others (clothes, bottles, bb food, poposh..)??? & not 2 forget he himself already weighting 8kg++

so, should we proceed??
