Europe on a budget

For the longest time I have been thinking to write this post, how to travel to Europe on a budget and by budget, let me make it very clear that I do not mean shoe string budget I mean a little over shoe string and not staying in hostels but hotels in good and accessible locations with breakfast, where to eat (cheap), tips to save money, what to buy as souvenirs and how to stay safe and out of trouble . 

Since I have traveled to many European cities alone,with friends and also with my husband I plan to cover these aspect of travel as well. Like if you are traveling with your friends, you may not mind staying in a hostel, in fact few of the hostels I have stayed were really good but having said that hostels have their own issues like the shared toilet being one of them which will be a BIG NO if you are travelling with you family, moving on as part of the Europe on a budget series I plan to cover  cities I have traveled  and enjoyed every moment of it. I will also be writing about day trips that can be done if you happen to live in a neighboring country. The following popular cities will be covered 
a) Paris
b)Barcelona
c)Lisbon & Porto
d)Belgium- Brussels, Antwerp & Brugge
e)Prague
f) Rome
g) Florence & Pisa
h) Venice
i) Netherlands- Amsterdam, Delft, Texel,Rotterdam & Den Haag ( Hague) of course
j) Geneva- Mt. Titlis, Interlaken
k) Germany- Cologne
l) Krakow & Warsaw
m) Luxembourg 

Keeping my target of writing 3 blog post a month I guess for the next 4 months this blog will be lively and I hope to write some interesting and informative post.

Creation of the day or rather perfect copy - The perfect Sunny side up :)

Sunny side up on a Saturday morning

'That feeling when you create a perfect sunny side up' well in my case I feel happy and extremely satisfied  whenever I make something I really like and turns out perfect.....just the way I like it. Yesterday my sister sent me this link from FB which showed how to make sunny side up inside a perfectly cut bell pepper, so I decided to make it for breakfast the next day. The first thing which came to my mind after seeing those pictures was Godrej Nature's Basket store and Le Marche, two of my favorite food stores in Delhi, so I left work a little early and rushed to Basant Lok, where both the stores are and bought 2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 yellow) some organic eggs and few other things. 

This morning as soon as I woke up I had only the sunny side up and a perfect cup of chai in mind, so I made three of these, the first attempt was not successful but the 2nd and 3rd ones were perfect. The trick is to cut the bell peppers a bit thick and the tomato's really thin and also make sure you don't break the egg york because that will be the end of the sunny side up. I suggest you break the egg carefully in a small bowl and then put it inside the bell pepper and remember to cook on slow flame. 

The facebook link from where I saw these perfect sunny side up is mentioned below.
