    area tu ada Baker St underground, bas pun banyak and Hop-on bus pun mmg lalu area tu, so kira good choice tu. Satu lagi area saya suka kalau London ni ialan Bayswater/Paddington/Queensway area sbb malam2 happening, banyak resto halal dan malaysia hall pun dekat....bole pekena lunch/dinner murah.

4k utk 6 nites london & paris mmg dah OK sangat tu...so dari budget asal 9k tu u masih ada 5k utk spend utk transport/tour. Saya pun tgh dok buat costing utk trip weols 3 beranak 27/5-12/6 start Paris. Ari2 dok buka booking.com gak cari otel Paris dan lelain cities.

    mamapot,

how old is your child again? below 2 years old ker?

i went to europe last year, in summer, so usually time ni memang rate tinggi.

personally i rasa, i spent half of 9.5k

BUT

i stayed in budget hotel.

paling mahal pun 60 pound semalam.

kat paris, i stayed kat  1 bedroom apartment with kitchen facilities, so i rajin memasak, save banyak

   my child during travelling nanti sorang 3 plus2 sorang lagi 18month.. i tanya asben gak hotel die nk mcm mana..die nak yg selesa for family..tak mahal tak murah..so i rasa hotel 3 star dah ok n afforable..kalau dpt yg ala2 comfortable bawah 3 star pun dh ok....u ade suggestion tak??? mcm kat paris mcm nak stay kat novotel je..tapi lom decide lagi..hehe..

mamapot

satu soalan..champ ellese n al fayette tu apa beza ya..

Reply 585# mamapot


    oh you've got 2 kids then you need more space then. both are still small, so either you're bringing a twin stroller or 2 strollers la kan? means more stuffs too... then better stay hotel yang selesa sikit, bukan macam easyhotel. travelodge is more spacious, and memang ada family room.

i baca blog gilakentang (yang kat thread france tu), she stayed kat novotel jugak. which is in the city la kan sebab from the hotel you can see eiffel tower. i stayed outskirt sket, near disneyland, sebab my itenaries kat Paris banyak involve that area. tak banyak city tour. novotel tu nampak comfy la. tapi i tak pasti how much is it

whitesurfer

mama.....kalau ur iteneries bnyk area Disney then I rekomen u stay kat apartment Adagio Val D' Europe. Ada free shuttle to Disney, dekat ngan La Valee Outlet dan val D' Europe shopping complex. Kat bawah shopping centre tu ada supermarket....ada satu section tu jual frozen food halal...pizza, lasagne dll. So since aprtment ada kitchen bole la masak apa2 yg patut.

champ ellysee tu kira street shopping...ala2 Oxford Street tapi much nicer.
Galerie la fayette plak cam Harrods. rasa2 nya comparison ni OK kot...hehe

mamapot,
saya suggest citadines. hotel apartment. ade kitchen.utk london and paris. yg kat paris saya tak ingat saya duduk kat area mana. dekat cabaret moulin rouge tu.yg kat london di kensington. ade kedai paki yg jual halal meat, so buleh masak. sangat selesa. saya  travel dulu dgn anak umor 2 tahun.  ground arrangement kalo rajin buat sendiri, can save $$ dan juga kite buleh study pasal tempat yg kite nak pergi.

baru perasan post mamapot ni.
kalo ada masa, buleh pergi lebih dari 2 negara. bab leceh pasal bawak kids ni, my experience ok. i pergi 3 negara-uk, france n italy.italy(milan venice,rome). bertukar2 hotel.   masa pergi anak i baru  nak masuk 2 tahun n my niece setahun lebih. alhamdulilah, sihat selamat semua. anak mmg suka berjalan sebb dah biasa dari enfant lagi so ok, dia yg excited tukar2 hotel, naik plane, train , tube metro semua. since i mmg fully breastfeed, lagi senang, tak payah nak angkut botol2 nn formula semua.  makan no prob:bfast kat hotel, lunch kat luar( bawa sandwich sbb takut anak2 lapar b4 sampai tempat makan) n dinner selalu masak.  kami bawak travel cooker so takde la bosan everyday duk mengadap kebab.
bawak buku2, crayon games semua utk occupy them. dlm flight suruh je depa tawaf plane tu.main videogames ke.

tips: selagi tak lebih berat, bawak air mineral banyak2(check in). sana mmg senang dapat tapi mahal la convert duit kita. at least for the first few days  tak payah beli air. pada i la, better  duit simpan utk shopping kan.tapi kat paris mmg seronok evian murah. baju takyah bawak banyak, basuh kat sana. beli kat sana.(primark london murah2)so time balik, beg akan ringan and buleh shopping banyak2 ganti tempat air2 mineral tu heheheh..

tips yg berguna..yella travelling dgn kids ni agak susah..so far alhamdulillahla..mama pun bf 100%  lagi..yg sulung tu pun minum freshmilk takde masalah nak bawak susu....masa bawak p gc last yr pun ok je..cuma beza masa tu summer..ni time winter..tu yg risau skit..survey2 hotel kat london mcm pricey skit ekk compare to paris..ade gak dgr psal mineral water tu..mahal kalau convert..ikutkan dulu nak gak cover 5 negara..tapi sbab nomad style kan..tak sanggup nak packing n siapkan budak2..

mama boleh refer blog gilakentang untuk tips di paris especially untuk pembelian tiket disneyland dengan harga local yang jauh menjimatkan.

  haah..yg website disneyland bahasa france tukan..ticket utk dec lom kluar lagi..tu kna tunggu 2-3 bulan lagi baru boleh beli..

gazelle

bawak setakat yg buleh mama. macam saya, kalo duk hotel, masak nasi , rebus air guna mineral water. tapi kalo apartment yg ade kitchen guna air tap dia la. dah habis stok dari malaysia baru beli air.  instant food banyak, brahim's, madam sal ( ni sedap tapi macam tak jumpa in the market dah), yeos semua tu. ok la utk alas perut sementara nak cri kedai makan. cam i, tak sanggup makan kebab selalu. bukan sedap pon food kat sana. as muslim limited choice yg buleh makan. kalo kat london takpe, ade msian hall.
i baru balik dari geneva (biz trip) , travel tanpa anak pon still bawak roti , air ,can food  semua. sbb mmg tau  sampai petang,(omputeh kan tak macam msia, kedai tutup awal). tak dan nak cari food. duduk hotel 5 star pon bfast tak included. kite dah la kena kuar pagi utk meeting. makan tuna n roti je la dulu.  i know ade org2 kat forum duk kutuk kate msian ni kalo travel segala mak nenek nak bawak  macam tak buleh beli sana .nak jimat duit la ape la. please la.... mmg buleh beli, tapi bukan berat pon nak bawak. sementera jumpa kedai makan ape yg ada dulu. bukan sedap pon makan sana. travel cooker mmg amat berguna. beras beli yg paket kecik tu 1kg. dah habis stok, senang aje cari beras kat asian store.  

hmm..ari tu try instant food-nasi goreng kg brahim's, briyani ayam brahim's. not bad la rasanya.senang   rebus je dlm travel cooker. we only eat out time lunch. malam samada tapau food kalo balik awal or masak.  kalo on holiday i selalunya  pergi local market, cari fresh produce. ni waktu terhad kerja, so takde masa nak cari halal meat ka apa. makan je apa ada. janji tak kelaparan.

seronok cuti dgn anak2 kan mama. time cuti la buleh spend time banyak dgn anak2.  a good therapy, break from daily routine.

panjang lak saya bebel. sorry. jarang masuk forum.

di disneyland paris tu ada facilities untuk sewa stroller. in fact they have this 'baby switch' facilities, meaning katakan la you pergi dengan hubby & anak, and anak you tak boleh naik rides tu, you boleh bagi staff diorang jaga anak you... tapi i tak buat la sebab i dont trust people easily...hehehehe

since i mmg fully breastfeed, lagi senang, tak payah nak angkut botol2 nn formula semua.

oh yes memang...heaven la sangat bila tak payah nak angkut air panas & sukat formula berapa banyak nak bawak.... susu cap gantung ever ready ada....

mamapot

Hehe.. Bab fully breastfeed tu yg bestkan senang..bab nk mask time travelling ni mcm last time ade la bwk megi, gula.. Yg dlm tin2 n packet mcm Brahmin tu belom pernah bwk but kalini mug ade rasa nk bwk.. Serapes buat sandwich telur or tuna kids pun bleh mkn.. Nk2 winter mesti perut cepat lapar kna standby food byk2
