Assalamualaikum, Salam Ramadhan.
Harap belum terlambat untuk saya ucapkan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa kepada semua pembaca sekalian. Semoga kita semua beroleh keberkatan. Hari ni saya nak kongsikan itinerary trip terbaru saya pada Mei 2016. Setelah enam bulan berhibernasi akhirnya dapat jugak travel balik. Syukur.
Trip ni kira last minute jugak la. Dah meroyan sangat masa study week. Tetiba Kenyalang Celup kluar promo return ticket KL-Melbourne RM710. Hmmmm. Dah lama sangat teringin nak road trip ke Tasmania. Masa tu tengah mood nak travel solo. Tapi bila buat research, susah pulak nak solo travel kat sana. Public transport kurang. Cara terbaik untuk menikmati keindahan panorama Tasmania adalah dengan drive kereta.
Terus roger geng travel. Fuad ngam2 tengah free masa tu. Nak habiskan cuti sebelum masuk Master programme. Yang lain2 pulak exam jugak masa tu so tak dapat join. Saya ke Melbourne sorang dulu. 2 hari kemudian baru Fuad join. So ni dia itinerary penuh kami selama hampir 2 minggu kat bumi Australia. Harap ia membantu korang untuk plan trip ke sana.
