My Germany tour latest only two weeks, but we did, and saw so many things that I couldent possibly write down every experience so instead I will write every where I was, and the things I did and ill of course add a couple fo experiences along the way.
April 4th-- we began out trip in Bonn where we went to the House of History, we than took a bus to Monschau where we went on a hill sledding track and than we stayed at a Hostel in Monschau.
April 5th-- we drove to Buessel in Beligium where I ate Belgium fries, and chocolate which are AMAZING, than we drove to Koblenz where we went to the Germany Corner where the Rhein and Mosel meet and after drove to St. Goar where we slept at a hostel.
April 6th-- we drove to Braubach, than Marksburg where we took a little city tour than carried on to Heidelberg where we visited a castle and than slept in Heildelber ( we slept everytime in a hostel)
April 7th-- we drove to Strassburg in france.. where once again I was not let down by some french hospitality meaning I got none. I once tried to ask a person where the bank was in french but they just simply walked even faster right by me... i found some preople really rude but I ran into a couple that were nice as well. In Strassburg we went inside the European Parlement building and than after that drove to Stuttgart where we toured the Mercedes buisiness, and that night we met some people from France and they we all really nice so I hung out with them that night.
April 8th-- we went to Dachau and went to the concentration camp there.... I have read about them, heard about them, but its an entirely differnt thing to see them. They of course were cleaned up and restored but the gas chambers and chimneys were all still as they were. After that we drove to Muenchen also known by us as Munich and visited another castle. Munich hostel also had a disco in the basement so I spent some time down there.
April 9th-- we visited a german museum and than went to the BMW factory and saw how they made their cars.
April 10th- we visited Neuschwanstein castle which was probably the best castle I have ever seen here even though it was not finished the rooms that were.. were beautiful. we than drove to Steingaden and went inside a church there.... by this time we have seen so many churches and castles that they all look the same. That night we went to the English garden and drank some beer, and I even got a 1 liter glass to take home... it was a really fun night :D
April 11th-- we drove to dreseden and we took a city tour... well every town we went to there was a city tour so I accidently well no I just usually slept through them :D.
April 12th-- was Easter Sunday so some people went to church and than we visited some more castles, and the Green Dome, and more museums.. but that night we went to a bar again and had some drinks.
April 13th-- we drove to Wittenberg and took a city tour there than drove on ttowards Berlin.
April 14th-- we took a city tour of Berlin this time I was awake and that night got to see Blue Man Group... which was awseome and I had an amazing seat I was in the 5th row in the middle so I got to see everything :D.
April 15th-- we finally got to see Check Point Charly which was the only thing for sure I wanted to see there that and the Berlin wall, and the Berlin door, and early that day we drove to Potsdam and visited another castle. But Berlin was amazing and I really liked seeing all the history and hearing all the stories that came with it.
April 16th-- we drove to Hamburg and took a tour of the Air bus... and I got to see how planes where made.
April 17th-- we took another city tour and than went to the Harbor and took a boat tour... which I was not able to see because I was a little freaked out on the boat so the best way to not think about it was to simply daze off and not look at the water or anything for that mater.
April 18th-- we drove back to Koln where we finally went home and the tour was over.
I was on alot of city tours, and probably saw a Museum for everything known to man-kind except there was not food museum.. even though it was sort of stressfull at time with the amount of kids in one bus,, it was still overall a pretty good trip.. and alot better than I thought it would be. I would have to say the Highlight would of been Berlin when I got to see all that history and Blue Man Group... it was alot of fun..
Well I guess this is my last blog until I get home... and than that will be my last post.. So thank you everyone for staying with me and reading first hand of some of the things I have expierenced here in Germany.l. I dont think I would ever trade this one year here for anything.

You took me on a trip down memory lane. I remember the Neushweinstein castle very well; I especially remember the long hike up to it and--for some reason--the king's bedroom.
I also remember Berlin really vividly. Check Point Charley (sp?) was especially cool; the museum was maybe one of the best museums I've ever been to.
Also, I remember Dachau very vividly. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Can't wait for you to get home! Any chance you'll come out to MN for a visit?
Yeah we visited the kings bedroom where he had a secret door inside just for him.
yes for sure I would come for a visit :D
Just like Holly it seemed like a walk down memory lane for me too.
The fun part about reading your blog was being able to follow along in your footsteps and know exactly what you were talking about.
We can't wait to see you home. Maybe we can visit the museum at Front Street and Mansion on the Hill,(castle) oh and we can stand on the banks of the Platte River! I think there will still be water in the river. We can install a secret passage to your bedroom in the floor!
