On June 4th started the second Europe tour. We got up early and made our way to Prague! We arrive around noon or so and had a tour guide during the afternoon. It was super excited and super beautiful. We started on at the castle and walked down these beautiful steps. They were wide and long and at the very end of them you arrive at the famous beautiful bridge. From the bridge you can see lots of Prague and it is so beautiful with the river flowing through it and all of the old, but amazing buildings. It was filled with huge squares, lots of people, and life! That night after we had dinner I wen back into the city with one of my friends. Since Prague is so old we went on a ghost tour! It was so crazy, but not

really that scary! Ha ha. So anyway, we got to go into the dungeons and find out about all the ‘haunted places in Prague.
The next day we woke up early and had a long trip to Cologne. We only arrived around dinnertime and after dinner I went looking at the city. It is a very small city and there is not much to see in it, but what you can see is amazing. I walked through the city while it was still light out and then I walked across the bridge with lots of locks ☺ over the opposite side of the famous church. From there I waited for the sun to set while sitting on a huge wall. It was like the wall was made for people to watch the sun set and to watch the town light up! There were tons of other

people there. They were drinking and talking and even some brought a picnic! The next day we went into the church and had some free time in the city. They have a huge open mall. It is like out side and the buildings are so huge and it was really cool! It was like you were just walking through a city, were only people could walk and it was filled with restaurants, bakeries, and amazing stores! Then we went to the Lindt chocolate factory. This was a lot better than the other factory because they showed you how the make chocolate, where it come from, and we also got to see the machines. Then we traveled to Amsterdam… I LOVE AMSTERDAM! Right when we got there it was happy hour and we had

fresh Heineken. I love the smell, I think because of my dad, but after two sips I gave it away. ha ha. At night we went into the red light district. I had no idea what it would be like but it was so interesting to me. Mainly because the culture and the people are so open to the prostitutes. But I mean I do not think it is a bad thing at all because it is something special about Amsterdam. The other thing that is special is that weed is legal! They are going to change that law for people that come to Amsterdam but I was still like wow. They are famous for coffee shops, which might sell coffee, but the important part is that they sell brownies. The brownies are filled with weed.. ha ha. So anyway it was also interesting because the

people that live there are not high, because from them it is a normal thing so it is not like oh my gosh this is so crazy, we had to get super high. So then the next day we had a tour of the city. It was truly a beautiful city and that is another reason that I loved it. It was green and full of water cannels. In the water cannels there were lots of boats and even houseboats! I would so live on a houseboat! After that we went on a boat tour and we learned about the houses and architecture. Individuality the buildings are really thin and skinny. That is because it does not matter how tall your building is, you just have to pay taxes for how much space you are taking on the ground. So everyone builds
up. Since they have little room on one actually

level, it is hard to fit furniture into the house. So they have a hook on the top of the building and form that they pull up the furniture to different levels of the house! I even got to see one happening!
From Amsterdam we traveled to Bruges on the 7th. Unfortunately we just arrived to the cute little city when it was about 9 at night and dark, but it was still beautiful. I went into the city with two of my good friends, Gabby and Maddie and we walked around. It was filled with little cobble stone streets and lots of restaurants. We sat down and had waffles; cause no better places to have waffles than in Belgium!
We set of to London, the next day. It was not to

far, but when we arrived to the boarder we went through customs and then you can take a boat to London or you can take a train (some how you need to cross the sea). We took the train and it was so crazy! Really! So it is like a huge train that is completely allow on the inside. Cars and busses drive into it and then it goes under the water! So then when we arrived I started off, feeling good, cause I knew I would not get lost… EVERYTHING WAS IN ENGLISH! Haha what a shock after such a long time! So anyway I saw the Kings Cross, took pictures at platform 9 and ¾, saw the London eye, when through all of the gardens and got really tired. It was a long but amazing day and on the next day I did the same

thing! We went on a hope on and off bus tour and went though all of the same places and also to the London bridge and the castle! They were so beautiful! On the 9th we left for Paris, and rode the same train out of London. We arrived to Paris and I did not really know what to expect, and honestly I did not think it was going to be that great but it was AMAZING. I started off look at everything in the Latin district. It was full of beautiful architecture and also churches. Then I went to Notre Dam! That was also very beautiful and breathe taking. I walked around the islands there and so was that. Full of shops, restaurants, and little streets (just how I like it). Then I made my was to the Louvre but I was just then getting

dark. That was ok cause when I arrived the sky was dark blue and the Louvre and the pyramids were gold from the lights and reflecting into the water! Now that was breath taking. I continued to the Eiffel tower and saw it sparkle every hour for five minutes! I arrived back at the hotel late, and then in just a few hours had to get up again. We went on a hop and off bus trip again, going into buildings, looking and squares, taking pictures and learning about Paris. We had some free time in the after noon and I went to the Sacre Coeur Basilica. In front of the church there was a big courtyard that was full of steps and people were sitting on it and it was full of life. I went into the church and then climbed up it. It was hard work

but when I got to the top I could see all of Paris! It was so beautiful especially since I would see everything and also the Eiffel tower! The food in Paris was also great but my favorite was the crep! Exhausted, we headed to Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a small country and they also have a city Luxembourg inside of it. We went to the city and the country. It is in a lush green valley and super cute. You can tell that it is a wealthy place cause the shops are fancy, the streets are clean, and it was well taken care of. There is still a huge wall the is running through out the valley what used to be to keep out the invaders. We had a tour and then alter in the night I went with Maddie and Gabby back into the city and we walked around!
We made our way now to Germany, and to Stuttgart. Here they have the Mercedes Benz Museum. I am not really interested in cars, so it was kind of boarding but oh well. Then we traveled to Munchen! We went into the city at night but we got rained out. Luckily the next day on the 14th we had good luck with weather and it was a beautiful day!  I loved

Munchen and it was such a cool city full of history. Not only were the buildings so beautiful then you would find out that this was Hitler’s head courters, or that when the American army took over their base was here! Also they had a big beer building where they brood beer and served it. I do not think I have ever seen so many people together drink beer and eating and have a great time. The women carried out 7 or 8 huge mugs of beer in each hand! It was crazy! There was also a huge market that had all kind of things, and since it was summer they had like 10000000 kinds of veggies and fruits and everything was so colorful! It was great, and it was a super ending to my trip ☹ but I was a nice trip and I think I enjoyed it

more than the other one because it had more places of interest and I was always busy. Also because I made two new amazing friends, Gabby from Alaska and Maddie from Australia (love the accent) I had a great time!!! I love Europe!
