7/23 There's too many French people in France Getting up early wasn't so bad when I considered that I would have a long time to sleep on the bus. I got packed and went straight to breakfast. The breakfast overall sucked at this hotel. There was meat, bread, cereal and juice... Borrring! We got on the bus and headed for our first stop: Beaune, France. It was sunny out which was very exciting considering we had seen so much rain. When we got into Beaune, we park...

7/20 If Lake Como is good enough for George Clooney, then it's good enough for me! By the time the wake-up call came at 6:30, Mikayla's alarm on her phone had gone off 3 times. She finally got up and left the room to go to her boyfriend's room. I got dressed quickly (it helps when you get in the habit of laying everything out the night before), put my luggage outside my door, and went for breakfast. I sat by Jackie, a older woman from Florida traveling alone, a...

7/22 A beautiful lake and a town that smells like feet cheese We didn't have that far to drive so our wake up call was at 6:45. It's funny how I think of that time as not being that early but then I think about how I am on summer break and normally wouldn't be up until about 10. That's weird. Our first stop was going to be in Interlaken. I was very excited to go there because I had heard such good things about it. We only had 90 mins. there which was a bummer b...

7/21 So many lakes, so little time Our wake up call wasn't until 7:30. We didn't have very far to travel today. I got dressed, put out my luggage and went for breakfast. We left at about 8:45. The day was looking to be pretty clear (for once!) but it only took us driving about 30 mins. to hit rain. We got into Lucerne about an hour and a half after we left. It was raining, of course. Our first stop was to a giant lion statue dedicated to Swiss soldiers who ...

7/19 Austria looks like Switzerland The wakeup call came at 6:30. I got up quickly and got my luggage outside the door. I was super hungry for some reason when I got to breakfast. I had salami, cheese and bread and some fruit salad. We got on the bus around 8:00 to head to our Innsbruck city tour. We got to the city center where we dropped off a few people who didn't want to pay for the city tour. Then our tour guide, an old Austrian named Peter, got on our...
