After the extensive planning, we are now all set to embark on a bachelor trip cum Football Pilgrimage to cheer for our favourite club FC Barcelona. We will cover two games of Luis Enrique’s team, visit the south France Midi-Pyrenees region and round off the experience with a visit to Ajax Amsterdam football club. Personally this is my second pilgrimage after an astounding experience in 2016, where I ended up watching live half of the world’s top ranked 90 footballers.
The itinerary this time will be shorter, but no less the excitement.
Day 1 – Set off for Barcelona on a ‘Good Friday’ by a reputed Emirates Airlines.
Day 2 – Sightsee the famous Sagrada Familia, look for customized Barcelona jerseys, visit Montujic, Parc Guell and round off the evening at Nou Camp. Barcelona vs Real Sociedad should be a must win game for the Catalans, in bid to stay alive in the La Liga title race.
Day 3 – Take bus to French City Toulouse, Visit the Airbus factory and City of Space theme park.
Day 7 – Take flight to Amsterdam, visit the canals, the Ajax Amsterdam Arena tour, Best of Van Gogh’s paintings and De Wallen.
Total damage:
Expected to be less than 3500 SGD = less than 250 USD = less than 1.75 lacs INR. In that we touch three countries (cultures), watch two home games of FC Barcelona, visit two of the world’s must-see-cities and a week of bachelorhood. Deal?
Just can’t wait for the days to go by.
Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Pique – We are coming for you.
