3 WEEKS ITINERARY IN EUROPE
Day 1
1 Continent. 2 Newlyweds. 4 Countries. 13 Cities. 21 Days. 9,000 ++ photos. And a Lifetime of Memories. This was our honeymoon.
I will be ending our #HoneyMOONWALKwithChaMike blog entries with this: 3 Week Itinerary and Estimated Expense in Europe. This is for the benefit of my readers who are curious of how we managed to visit 13 cities for only 3 weeks. Plus, how much we spent throughout our entire Eurotrip in detail.
So from April 4- 24, we mustered our strength, conditioned our minds and made the most out of our spring honeymoon.

ESTIMATED EXPENSE FOR 3 WEEKS IN EUROPE
Here is our estimated expense in Europe for three weeks. We used some of the wedding gifts we received which helped us a lot! (Thanks Ninongs and Ninangs!) Aside from that, we got the money from Mike's savings. I didn't even spend my own money during the whole duration of our trip! (hehehe! Perks of having a husband that knows how to save!)
Included here is our airfare expense and visa fee. I also included souvenirs we bought, snacks and other gadgets we purchased. (Didn't include the LV bag and shoes we bought though). If you will not splurge on shopping and food you will definitely spend lesser than this.
