October 17, 2010Had a great night's sleep last night and began today with breakfast in our room. Breakfast is included with the price of the room, and since the hotel does not currently have a dining room, they bring breakfast to you. Breakfast consisted of bread, cheese, ham, yogurt, an apple, and…- October 16, 2010We left Berlin this morning and took a 5 hour train ride to Prague. We were able to sit in first class which allowed us to be in a private compartment with a couple of other folks. The compartments reminded me of those Harry Potter met Ron and Hermione in…
- October 15, 2010Today was quite chilly and rainy, but the walking tour of the Third Reich was still a go. We began the day however, hoping to walk through the Reichstag Parliament building. Unfortunately the line extended out the building and the rain was really starting to come down. So instead we…
- October 14, 2010This Hotel 4 Youth (I'm not sure why they call it that . . . There is no age restriction), had the best breakfast that has been included yet. There was a nice assortment of breads, cheeses, meats, hard boiled eggs, vegetables, cereals, etc. What a nice way to start…
October 13, 2010Today was pretty uneventful. Our train left Amsterdam at 10:34 and 1 train transfer and 7 hours later we were in Berlin. Berlin by far had the newest Central Station that we have been to thus far. It seems that the station itself is a shopping mall/train station. Lucky for…- October 12, 2010Today was really about beer, and Heineken Beer to be exact. Once we got going with our day we headed to the Heineken Brewery Experience. Although they no longer actually brew the beer there anymore, it was an outstanding interactive tour. I guess this is why they call it the…
- October 12, 2010Monday we left Paris and took a train to Amsterdam. The ride took about 3 1/2 hours and was quite comfortable. Upon our arrival in Amsterdam we verified the train information we would need when we move on to Berlin, and began the search for a hotel. After checking in…
- October 11, 2010Today was our last full day in Paris, so we thought what better way to spend it than by doing our laundry! We went to the local launder mat and were thankful for some people that new what they were doing who could show us the way. In no time…
- October 9, 2010So day three of Paris was another gorgeous day! This morning we began our day by visiting the Musee D'Orsay where we saw many impressionist artists. My favorite of course are Monet and Renoir. This museum was a lot more manageable than the Louvre. I think we covered everything we…
- October 8, 2010What another beautiful day in Paris! We did a ton of walking today, and I'm actually kind of curious as to how many miles we walked. Our first walk this morning took us to The Louvre. That place is gigantic and there is no way you could even begin to…
- October 7, 2010Today started very early as we packed up and headed to St. Pancras Station to catch the high speed train to Paris. Wow! Was that train ever fast but yet smooth. We didn't really even know when we were going under The English Channel because other parts of the ride…
October 6, 2010What started out to be a rainy dreary morning, turned into a great day seeing London and an awesome day spent with my cousin, Curt. Tom and I began our morning with a rainy exploration of Trafalgar Square. Next it was on to a walking tour which included watching a…
