Holiday in Germany

Aug 16, 2008 21:10

I'm back! On monday I left with my mum and brother for a short vacation in Germany. I hadn't slept for two days because I promised my mum I would drive too and I was so scared. We went and halfway we made a stop. My mum asked me if I was sure that I wanted to drive too. I doubted and than she offered to drive the rest too. I was relieved although it felt a bit like I led my mum down.

The journey was beautiful but tough. There were a lot of mountains and valleys and my ears hurt like hell. I was glad we finally arrived in Cochem, Germany after 4,5 hours. First: There were HOT guys 0_0 Awww,.. there was one guy who worked in the restaurant of the campingsite and when he said Guten Tag I thought I would melt right there.

I wanted to go to Germany to practice my German speaking skills, but unfortunately negen in every ten people was dutch XD Only in the shops I could speak german. I noticed that there is still a long long road to go for me, because when I went to get 'kaiserbrötchen' I came home with 'käsebrötchen.'

Tuesday we went to Cochem. It was a beautiful town with very small little roads but amazing buildings. We bought some bretzels and I bought a german flag.
The market of Cochem:



I felt not good that day. Actually, I felt quite crap that day so after our visit to Cochem and the local supermarket (Where they had stuff which they already don't sell in the Netherlands anymore for ages so it was fun to buy those things ;)) I just watched TV and missed my laptop. (How come, am I an Internet-addict? (A))

Wednesday we went to Trier. The oldest city of Germany. It was gorgeous! I bought hell of a lot muhahaha. CDs, clothing and stuff. The best part was our sightseeing tour in a real sightseeing bus. That kind of bus where you don't have a roof and you are sitting on top of the bus. I had promised to take photos so I sat on the roof and then... it began to rain HARD. All those people walking on the streets were watching us XD But although I was so extremely cold and moody because of the rain it was actually quite fun. A few pics:










Thursday we went to Koblenz. I was tired and didn't enjoy it that much as Trier. There was a lot of traffic in the city and it just didn't had the charm that Trier had. We went to the Deutsche Eck. The point where the Rhine (Rijn) and Musel (Moesel) come together. There is a huge statue of Wilhelm 1 on a horse and you can climb in the building and you had an amazing view in it.

Inside (I love this pic):

After we came home we just sat around, watching the Olympics. My holiday-feeling was kinda ruined when they called from college that there will be an introduction-camp this monday till friday. Like, c'mon: Calling me four days before? I didn't knew anything about the camp! So now I'm not going and I have to go to work.

It was an amazing holiday, but I'm glad to be back because my own bed sleeps the best of all ;) Though, I miss the beautifull landscape already:
