This morning started at a traditional French Parfumery with a demonstration and then allowed to buy perfumes. Cheap from here might I add, so got Mum and I two Parfum's. For the rest of the day I could smell these on me when ever I looked at my watch or took a photo. Really good perfumes I must say. After this we had some fun photos infront of the Eiffel Tower, and then a professional photographer came to take a group photo. He was half an hour late so put me b...

So sleeping in a Jail bed isn't the most comfiest. I'll be staying out of any real ones! In store for us today was one of the longest bus rides contiki has, 9ish hours to Paris. YAY! However once in Paris and after having had dinner (which had a delicious twist on the classic chocolate and orange dessert. Chocolate tart eaten with a slice of mandarin, yum!), we had a night tour of the city and this was pretty. Paris really is the city of lights. The Eiffel Towe...

Another early morning with a 6 hour drive ahead of us to Lucerne, Switzerland. This would be my favourite drive of the trip. The scenic views of the swiss lakes were stunning!

Once in Lucerne, we first headed to the Lion Monument which is apparently the most moving and mournful piece of stone in the world. It is to commemorate the Swiss...

I've come across the first city I doubt I will return to. This is slightly sad, but I don't have anything in Venice to return to, and to be honest, I got bored there. In the morning wee caught a train to the boat area at the start of Venice where we were met by a boatman who took us over to the heart if Venice. Once there we had a walking tour of the city. This was really good and the history of the city is interesting, but it has now become somewhere that cate...

Tuesday the twenty ninth of January two thousand and thirteen will be a memorable day for me. We went to the first concentration camp, Dachau, built first thing in the morning. I didn't think I'd last going through it, but I did. Can't say much about it. It's a feeling that overcomes you. It's not something to talk about really. We had a two hour drive after to get to Innsbruck. A time to segregate the morning and move onto the afternoon in Innsbruck and evenin...
