Europe » Germany » Rhineland-Palatinate » Kaiserslautern August 21st 2009

So I've been back from Rome relaxing for a few days and I seem to have had not time to stop and write an entry. My trip to Rome was AMAZING, everything someone would wish and hope for and more. I could not have imagined it in my wildest dreams. Cabrina and I left for the airport at about 4am for our 6am flight and luckily made it in the nick of time thanks to her husbands speed racer driving. After shoulder checking some guys in purple shirts to make sure they didn't get to cut us in line (hah! like THATS going to happen) we boarded our plane and got on our way. We touched down in Rome and ran in to our first of many snags, there was nowhere for us to pick up ... read more

After a little tiny bit of exploring Germany I've discovered that I LOVE their wine. L-O-V-E their wine! I haven't yet been brave enough to venture into German beer but I have tried some Schnitzle... I will include some Schnitzle pictures. Despite my enthusiastic face, I don't think Schnitzle is for me sadly. However after my salty pork encounter Cabrina, Roxy, and I went and had a laaaaadies night out! We had to call the AADD which is apparently a service the air force provides for hot drunken messes such as the three of us last night. The poor new airman that came to show us up was my little brothers age, which I repeatedly told him very, very, loudly. It was a fantastic night that ended in a horrid hangover. I don't think I will ... read more

Europe » Germany » Rhineland-Palatinate » Mainz August 14th 2009

We are staying in Mainz along the Rhein Valley. We arrived in good time in the early afternoon yesterday then decided to be productive and go and book our final train tickets for Amsterdam. We searched for ages at the train station but couldn´t find a ticket office so hopped on a quick train to the main Mainz train station which took 3 mins but unfortunately we "hopped" on the wrong train back so instead of travelling 3 mins back to our hotel we ended up an hour out into the Countryside where there were no trains back! Luckily (?) we met a nice english speaking German guy on the train who helped us get a bus back (which took another hour!). How typical! We treated ourselves to a nice Mexican after the ordeal though. Today ... read more

So I suppose it was yesterday morning when I began my adventure. After I pulled an all nighter the night before my husband drove me to Seattle then my father took me to the airport a few short hours later. Unfortunately my flight to San Fransisco was delayed a few hours. When I got to San Fran I had a few hours to kill and what did I stumble upon? A spa. So I treated myself to a great full body massage and decided that that is surely how a vacation is supposed to start. I finally got on my way then from San Fran I boarded my flight to Germany. I patiently waited... and waited.... and waited... for someone to come fill the open seat next to me because there is just no way I ... read more

Saturday 18th July 2009 Another morning and another 6am wake up, this morning I get up and get dressed into a skirt and top without realising that the thunder, lightening and rain last night has indeed cooled the temperature substantially and after breakfast I change immediately into jeans and a shirt which I had fortunately packed into my backpack... PHEW!!!! We head off from Prague at 8am and today we are off to the Rhine Valley in Germany. When we arrive in St Goar we go straight to the Stein Shop where they tell us how steins are made and what type of limited editions they have available. After this we have a few minutes to look around and buy anything - I get a pewter shotglass with pictures depicting the local area. Then we are ... read more

THat afternoon we went swimming and the Girls Anna and Julia tried to introduce german things to me. We stayed at Omas and everything was the same as always. All the streets in Wittlich were very deserted and there was hardly anybody there. The shops where ether shut down different or very expensive because of the loss of customers. We will explorer more ... read more
