Today was a great day, full of rest. We woke up at 11 a.m., and were able to do a little resting, reading and even yard work with Grandma. It rained, and was a perfect day to just lay inside and read. Grandma fed us well, which is always nice upon returning from rigorous travel, to have a homecooked meal. Wednesday, we leave for our southern Germany trip. Because of the unexpected effect of the pound ($$$$)on our British Isles trip, and different licensing rules for driving among the Czech Republic and Austria, we are "changing" our destinations a little. Our trip will be down to see Bavaria, Switzerland, and some Germany. The trip will, nevertheless, be a wonderful trip, filled with many places we were hoping to see. Prague and Vienna will have to wait ... read more

We got back from Berlin this evening around 5 pm. We came home to a home cooked meal after living on street bratwurst, various pastries, cheese plates, brochen and Nutella for the past three days. We left Berlin at about 8:30 am and the weather (which had been drizzling and cool the whole time we were there) was already in the high 80's. That is a long day in a Fiat Panda with no A/C and 90+ degrees for almost 700 km. At least there are no speed limits on the Autobahn because it almost feels like air conditioning once you get over 140 with the windows down. I do find myself however saying "huh?" a lot after 7 hours of howling winds by my ear. Who needs hearing anyway when you can't understand the ... read more

July 6, 2007 More fun than Disneyland…no electricity required. I earned my hot apple strudel with ice cream today. I never stopped moving the whole day! We woke up and right after breakfast rented bikes. Our goal was to ride up the Rhine to St. Goar (2 towns away) and explore the local castle called the Rheinfels Castle from the 11th century. Before I tell of this fun day we are now in Germany! Yesterday we left the Netherlands for Germany. We were going on car trips of “no more than 2 hours” said Scott. So far all trips have been 4 ½ hours from one destination to another no matter what…this trip included. When we arrived however I was awe struck at the beauty. We are in the Rhine River valley. It is gorgeous. ... read more

UntitledCheston & Katherine HerveyTomorrow morning we leave for The Netherlands and Belgium. We will be staying in Volendam (just north of Amsterdam) for two nights before making our way down the coast to Voorschaten (just north of Rotterdam) for one night. From there we will head down into Belgium for three days; Brugges, Brussels and Antwerp before heading back to Koblenz. Click Here for our route. If you zoom out you can see the red line that marks our loose itenerary. After sleeping til almost noon today (we did stay up until 1 am watching the Princess Diana Concert with Yola) and napping for an hour in the middle of the day, we are pretty much adjusted to the time difference. It was difficult considering that the sun doesn't go dow... read more
