It was so nice to have a little lie in this morning and not have to rush out. After getting ready and eating a lovely breakfast I headed out to Amsterdam once again. I have always loved the royal families and so decided to visit the Amsterdam Royal Palace. It was so wonderful in there. […]

Fun in the sun

Started today bright and early once again. Went to practice again and this time it was better because I was used to it. Today we used the subway to get to practice. This was a great experience and was much quicker than the tram. To get underground you go down a steep elevator. It feels […]
Biking around Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a busy city. There are so many people and so many bikes. You have to be so careful walking around and have to check in all directions for any bicycles before crossing any street. This morning we did a bicycle tour around the streets and canals. I was a little nervous as I […]
I AMSTERDAM

My journey has begun

Thursday started very slowly because my flight only left at 18:30. I was so relieved to get past passport control and get on the plane. I was originally seated between two parents. They wanted to sit with their daughter so I managed to score a window seat to Dubai. The flight to Dubai was good. […]
Exploring Berlin

What a busy day! We started with the Third Reich Walking Tour that takes you around Berlin. We saw the Brandenburg Gate which is a famous landmark symbolizing the division of Berlin and Germany during the Cold War. On top it has a very impressive sculpture representing the Goddess of Victory. The Riechstag was constructed […]
Germany bound

We had a long drive ahead of us today. We were heading for Berlin, Germany. Along the way we stopped at Dresden. We did a short walking tour of the city. We looked at the Dresden’s Church of our Lady, which air-raiders wiped out during WWII. The rubble remained untouched until 1994 when they began […]
Hot, hot and hotter

It was so nice to have a little lie in this morning before heading out to explore Prague. By 9 o’clock it was already 28 degrees and so we didn’t stay out too long. It reached a high of 36 degrees today and this evening it was still over 30, so rather warm. We took […]
Austria to Czech Republic

Today was another travel day. We headed for Prague early this morning. Before crossing the border we stopped at Mauthausen Concentration Camp. We spent a long time wandering around. You were able to walk through various barracks and see how the prisoners used to live. You could walk through the infirmary and crematoriums where their […]
