Hey Everyone,
Alex and I have just arrived in Amsterdam after a 10 hour night train ride here. I will try and post a few pictures of each of the places I have been to give you a better idea of what you might have missed while this site was down. Unfortunately, I can not post the Canyoning pictures (which are amazing pictures which you should check out when you have a chance to see me or if I can post them later). Now, a recap since my last e mail.
Our last two days in Munich were a lot of fun. We checked out the vast Residenz palace (which held such nobles as Crazy Ludwick). We also enjoyed huge shtines of beer in the Englischer Garten,. had dinner at the very old Augustiner Bierhalle and have a great time at the Famous Hofbrauhaus beer hall. Yesterday we went to Dachau (the concentration camp near Munich). We took a long, extremely interesting tour. It was a little hard to hear all the stories but we were very glad we went. We walked around the market, getting another beer (that is the national pastime in Munich) and eventually got to the train staition for our ride. It was hard to sleep and there were 6 people cramed into the room. We got into Amsterdam by 9:00 and tried to check into our hostel but they said we were too early so we wandered around, enjoying the great Achetecture, canals, and padestrian walking areas in the old city. We will be going to the Renbrant house later this afternoon and the Anne Frank House this early evening.
Julian Alps
The view from the drive to the tent camp we stayed at in the mountains. It was a fun drive and very pretty.
Lake Bled
This place was a bit touristy but very beauitful. It was a long hike all the way uphill to get this magnificant view.
Prague
A great view from the Prague castle of the rest of the city. The bridge in the distance is the beautiful, famous Charles Bridge.
Czechy Krumlov
Really cool medeviel city where the "Illusionist" was filmed. The tower was very cool.
