Our return trip home, sadly, didn't go as easily as I would have liked it to for either the bro or myself ( Read more... )

Today we got up to eat the hotel-provided breakfast - which was pretty awful. After leaving the food behind, we walked to a Bagels and Beans (a place the bro had been to before) and had an AMAZING breakfast of bagel, coffee, and real fruit smoothie. Then we shopped around a little to burn some time before our appointment with The Anne ( Read more... )

This morning (June 7th), we got up pretty early and had a great breakfast of Dutch toasties, fresh strawberries, eggs, bananas, and coffee. :9 After packing, we gave Roy's mom Dutch kisses and saw her off to work before we ourselves had to get going.

I was pretty sad to have to leave Roy. He really means a lot to my brother - which, in turn, makes ( Read more... )

This morning we woke up from a glorious sleep-in. Breakfast was nice - especially since we didn't have to pay for it - and then we went back into the market area of Delft. Yesterday, a festival was going on and was continuing through today. We stopped in the square to watch a very suggestive comedy show put on by The Lords of Strut. It was quite ( Read more... )

June 3-5

June 3rd was our full day in Koln - it was also the day I met up with a friend (Crystal) I know online via meerkats.org. She's an American, but also a resident of Germany, and her friends were kind enough to bring her to Koln so that we could meet. :) Lucky me, my brother had a good eye out for Crystal an found her while I was using the ( Read more... )

June 1-2

Berlin was a very busy city!

It had a very Tokyo/NYC vibe to it with all of its US and expensive European box stores. n_n' There was still a lot of neat things to see, tho.

Our first day there was spent sleeping in a little before wandering out into the East side of the city. A bus took us to the area where all of the embassies in Germany ( Read more... )

June 01 2010

First real day in Berlin. Last night was just so awesome because a bunch of drunk guys woke everyone except the bro up at 3am. -_-

We got up a little late and made our way to the laundry mat. The care taker had to almost litterally hold our hands through the process of using a washer and dryer in German. XD He was very kind to help us, ( Read more... )

Woke up early again to get a quick start on the day. Due to weird circumstances, we didn't meet the owners of our hostel until this morning.

You see, the guy who owns the hostel actually lives above it and also owns the conbini below it. There were specific instructions that if the conbini was closed before we got there, that we had to ( Read more... )

Left the hostel in Munich early to make it to the station. Not exactly sure why, but absolutely no coffee shops (starbucks too) were open before 6am. :/ We got on our train, which took us to a station where we could catch a bus to Fussen - our next destination.

The ride to Fussen took us through some more amazing German countryside. ( Read more... )
