Return from Europe trip

We returned from the Europe Trip - the flight from London to Hong Kong was diversed to Subic Bay due to the bad weather in Hong Kong so there were a delay of 24 hours.
We had a very good time during the pre-tour stay in London as well as the two extra nights staying in Paris.
The Cosmos tour turned out to be a disappointment - There were simply too much land area to cover every day and a typically “sightseeing” of the tour is two hours, including the time to get yourself lunch and go to the washrooms. If you are considering joining a Cosmos package tour, my advice is - carefully check out the driving distance to cover each day before you join. There is simply no point in sitting in a coach for 5 hours to travel and visit a place for 1 hour.
Get yourself a Eurorail pass and station yourself at a city for several nights and do some day-trip excursion to nearby places should be the better way to see Europe.
