Day 8
We leave Lucerne today. And
aren’t we glad we did, because it rained! Can you imagine just how freezing it
would be like to go up the mountain today?!

| Our journey of 11 days, marked. |
And it’s a long, long drive, only
stopping a few times at rest areas to go to toilet and have lunch. Most of the
time duduk jela, melengung dalam bas. Tidur-tidur sikit, tengok pemandangan,
baca buku…
Throughout the journey lancar je,
but as soon as we reach Paris, which was at about 4.30pm, we got stuck in
traffic jam. Ugh! Sampai Hotel Mercure La Defense 5 at 5.30. Kami boleh terus
settle for the night sebab kami tak pilih untuk pergi River Seine Cruise tu. We
were tired anyway.
The room this time was… well,
just okay. Small. Very small. Barely had any place to put our bags and untuk
semayang. Toilet pun basic. Thankfully ada unlimited wi-fi, although if you
really think about it, it’s not entirely unlimited since they limit you
from using any VoIP. Tak dapatla nak ber-skype dengan anak-anak.
Rest for about an hour, and then
we went out to find dinner. Satu good thing pasal hotel ni ialah it’s situated
in a business area, so we can find all kinds of food around the area. You name
it, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Italian… and we found a Turkish restaurant, Halal.
Alhamdulillah. Orderla kebab segala. Tapi malangnya aku tak enjoy sangat sebab
ayam dia bukan entirely chicken breast, dan aku hanya boleh telan chicken
breast. Any other chicken part makes me wanna puke. Sorry!
Settled for the night at around
10.30. Husband bengang sebab takde channel yang show Euro. Huhuhu.
So we are finally in the last
city of our trip. I can’t believe how fast the time flies; it’s almost
dreamlike. I’m now nervous about going back. Aku tau betapa senang dan
selesanya the kids have settled into a routine with our parents back in
Malaysia, and how everything is so exciting as they get to rotate between both
homes every other day. Aku tahu Layla akan sangat-sangat bising tak nak ikut kami
balik Mutiara nanti, sebab it’ll all be boring. She’ll be stuck all day with
just mama and adik. Mama selalu marah-marah. Tak ada orang nak layan dia main
non-stop. Ah… Nervousnya aku!
Adik pulak have grown so
comfortable. I heard he’s only been waking up once for milk every night. He’s
been sleeping in aircond. Alamak! Risaunya! Kalau dia dah tak selesa tidur kat
our house camane? Kalau aku dah tak larat nak dukung anak sendiri camane?
Tengok dalam gambar, Ilhan macam dah membesar dengan jaya je! Ahahah…
And myself? I’m not even back
home and I’m already suffering from post-holiday syndrome. I’m gonna miss my
uninterrupted sleep, life of leisure and fun. Hahaha. Lama beb aku meninggalkan
kerja-kerja memasak, mengemas, membasuh pinggan, menyidai dan melipat baju,
membasuh berak anak, memandikan anak, membuat susu anak. Ho! Ho! Ho!
