Postcard #7 : Stockholm

Stockholm.  Modern as in Berlin Romantic as in Paris.  Beautiful as in Venice.  Classic as in Vienna.  and... Expensive because it is Stockholm. Ha. You know that I still remember you dearly.  I cannot not wanting to visiting you again, spend more days or weeks there.  I hope to see you again, Stockholm.  Sooner or later.  Someday.

Postcard #6 : Venice

For the last remembrance of Venice, I bought several postcards there. But, unfortunately - I have sent some of them BEFORE I took their pictures. :(  So, here are the last two postcards from Venice and if you miss my older post about Venice, you could read it here .  The price for each postcard is relatively cheap - around 50 cents until 1 Euro .  The first postcard shows the inside part of St. Marco - and you could only buy it in the souvenir store nearby the entrance of St. Marco.  Inside St. Marco  The second postcard is the grand canal - the most famous view in Venice and a must see!  Apart from these postcards, you could find MOREE postcards with beautiful scenery.  No wonder, as I have said it before - even the most un-touched place in Venice is BEAUTIFUL. :) 

Postcard #5 : Neuschwanstein

My gift for you, the Neuschwanstein castle's fans.  Since I could not take ANY pictures inside the castle, I bought these postcard to remind me about those wonderful chandeliers, the glamorous gold colored hall, the King's bedroom, the secret garden complete with the cave inside the castle, and the sad stories of the king - who could not live long enough to live in his fairy tale castle.  This postcard costed about 1 Euro. It is more expensive because, tourist could not take take pictures inside the castle. :(  ' Inside the Neuschwanstein Castle For you who missed my previous post about Neuschwanstein castle, check it here . 

Postcard #4 : Salzburg

Welcome May! We are almost in the first half of 2013 and it has been a year since my first visit to Salzburg - time flies! So, here is another postcard that I bought from Salzburg. :) I forgot about the price for each, but I think it should be cheap - around 30 - 50 cents. The Salzburg city at night, the Sound of Music filming location and the famous Mirabell Garden And not to forget, Salzburg is the hometown of the famous classic artist - Amadeus Mozart !

Postcard #3 : Paris

Another postcard to celebrate 15,000 stamps ! :) Since April was Paris and Netherland's month for me last year, so I would like to share my postcards from Paris today. Hmm, it could be said as the first postcards I had ever bought in Europe and since it was the first time I bought postcards (and it is PARIS!), I bought A LOT of postcards! The price for a postcard range from 10 - 50 cent. The last postcard sent from Europe :) and they are my favourites! <3  Le Pont Alexandre III Place du Terte Le Trocadero Notre Dame If you would like to know about the places drawn on the postcards, you could read my previous post about Paris - here .

Postcard #2: Greece

Before I end this day, I would love to share the second postcard. Today's postcard originated from Athena, Greece.  Since I had never thought to send postcards, I only bought 3 postcards without send it from the post office there. (boo) But wait, I think I did not see any post office nor mail box in Athena and Thessaloniki. So, it was not my fault (hahaha)  The postcards here are quite cheap - around 30 - 50 cent only.  THIS PLACE will be my next destination whenever I visit Greece again in the future! The Odeon of Herodes and Acropolis in Athena.  You could read my previous post to know more about Acropolis in Athena.

Postcard #1: Vatican

The one and only post office in Vatican Postcards and travelling are so closely related. I learned it for the first time when my friend told me that she has sent many postcards to Indonesia while she was staying in Germany. I laughed at her at first but the more I travel, I realized that even though postcards do not too popular in Indonesia, but it IS in other countries. And, postcards are the CHEAPEST authentic souvenirs you could buy wherever you are travelling! From this, I get an idea to write about my postcards in Traveler's Passport. It might look so boring, but I hope through this post I could spread the "postcards fever" to all travelers around the world! So, here is my first postcard in Europe - the one originated from Vatican. I sent it on July 2nd, 2012 from post office in Vatican. The price for each postcard is around 50 cent - 1 Euro and the stamps costed around 1.60 Euro. Since it was the first time, I sent three postcards to Indonesia a...
