Europe travels: Berlin and Paris

So we took an early morning train to Berlin and zoomed around all day and saw alot of sights but one day was definatly not enough to be satisfyed, there were lots of things that I wanted to see that we didn't get to but I guess that they will just have to wait for some later time in my life! We were able to see alot of things for the limited time we were there, my favorate was either the Brandenberg Gate or the memorial to the murdered jews of europe, it was all really spectacular and like I said we just didn't have time to see it all. That evening we hopped on an overnight train to Paris, the train was supposed to take 13 hrs and ended up taking about 16 hrs oh well we got there and hopped on the RER to Bussy St. George and when we got off the train my cute mom was walking towards us and when she realized that it was me she started screaming and running towards us it was great I got a wonderful hug and it was amaizing to see her (first time in about 3 months) so we went to my parents apartment got showered and then went to the grocery store (they are amaizing in France!) and picked out a buch of good things to eat. we then went back and ate raclette and then went into paris and saw the sights my night, we saw the Eiffel tower and it was sparkeling (it sparkels every hour on the hour) and then we drove down the Chams-Elysees, saw the Arc de Triomphe, and Montmartre. It was Great, I love seeing sights at night there is just something about seeing them all lit up! Our total time we spent in France was 5 days, in that time we saw many wonderful things and went many woderful places. We visited Giverny (Monet's gardens) Rouen where we went to a wonderful concert in one of their larger cathedrals. We went to the Normandy beaches and memorial, we went to Caen and saw the castle there It was all a wonderful experiance and it was wonderful just to hang out with my parents! on the 4th we left early in the morning and hopped on the chunnel to London.

Europe Travels: Austria, London, Czech Rep.

So We arrived in Salsburg pretty late and made our way to the hostel and went to bed, I woke up early and caught a bus to the Salsburg airport and I was off to London For my friend Ashley's wedding. The wedding was amazing and Ashley looked beautiful! after the wedding I went and saw the sights of London by night and they were beautiful. The next day I went to Portabello road and didn't even make it through half of the market before I had to leave for the airport. I almost didn't make my plane because security was so backed up, but after sprinting, and getting quite a good work out, I made it to my gate they were able to re-open the door and I was on my way back to Salsburg. The next morning we were off to Vienna, it was beautiful we went to a great art museum and went to a mixed concert that night (opera, ballet, and the Imperial Orchestra Wein)and then took a night time stroll and saw the sights then went back to our hostel. We had another early morning, we hopped on the 6:00 train to Prague. We got to Prague and started looking for our hostel and we were not in the best area so we decided to try another hostel. so we finally got settled into a better part of town and we walked up to Prague Castle and grabbed some Mexican food (it was soo good!) and went back to our hostel a little earlier than usual talked for a bit and went to bed. We woke up the next morning and saw most of the other sights in Prague climbed their hill/ mountain that had beautiful garden at the top of it and had a lovely relaxing day just walking around the city. We stayed at the hostel again that night retiring early again, and prepared for another early morning of travel to Berlin.

Europe Travels: Switzerland

So after leaving the Cinque Terre, we were off to Switzerland. The train ride from Italy to Switzerland was quite a long one so we arrived in Lucerne at about 5:00 in the evening we made our way to our hostel (the first one we stayed in) got settled in, it actually was quite nice, and headed out to find some food. We went to a small local restaurant that was recommended to us by the guy at the front desk of our hostel and it was great. we then headed back to the hostel and went to bed. We woke up the next morning to a French lady talking really loudly to herself, yeah I am pretty sure she was crazy because this continued until we left. We made our way to the train station, and deposited our bags in the train station and went out to see what there was to see. It was a beautiful day, we walked around saw the sights went to the Picasso museum, and then took a paddle boat out on the river and it was amazing we then headed back to the train station and got on the train headed to Interlocken.

When we arrived in Interlocken we got on another train to Lauterbrunnen and once we arrived in lauterbrunnen we caught a bus to a cable car station and caught a cable car (like the Tram at Snowbird) to Gimmelwald. The view was amazing! wow so we hiked around a bit and then went and got some yummy fondue, and then went and slept in a barn for the night, (the lady rents out her barn to visitors we didn't just randomly sleep in some barn) anyway the next morning we ate the breakfast that was included in the whole barn stay package and then we took some pictures and went back to Lauterbrunnen and rented mountain bikes, took another cable car up to a place called Gritchalp and rode down through Murren and Gimmelwald and then all the way down back to Lauterbrunnen, it was the most scenic bike ride I have ever been on! Any way after that we hopped on a train and headed towards Salsburg.

Euope Travels: Italy

Well I have made it back to London after tromping around Europe for nearly 20 days!!! We started out by flying into London and dropping off our big bags and then flying the next day to Milan and leaving Milan that evening for Sienna. We spent the next day in Sienna, and I absolutly loved it, that evening we took a train to Piza. We woke up the next morning and tryed to find church and the bus driver let us out at a Catholic chruch in the middle of nowhere so that didn't work out too well, we then walked to the leaning tower and all that, grabbed some lunch ( I had a yummy Caprese sandwitch) and headed back to the train station where we started on our way towards the Cinqe Terre. We stayed in the Cinque Terre (In Corniglia, for those of you that have been there it is the one with all the red brick stairs up to it!) for two nights and loved every second of it. We Hiked all five cities and swam at the last one we also ate loads of Gilato, my favorate combo was Cinnamon, Yogurt, Mandarino wow I have craved that eversince! Overall we loved italy and loved the food just as much!
