Another cruisey day in Paris but unfortunately no sleep in today. We got up early and walked to Notre Dame as it opened and stayed and watched the bells ring. We had crepes for lunch and walked to see the Moulin Rouge and the Sacrecure (forgive the spelling) this is one of the most beautiful churches we have seen on our travels. Tonight - our last night in Europe we went and bought a pizza and took some drinks and had a picnic dinner under the Eiffel Tower wh...

Today We had a very busy day but also a slow and relaxing day. We finally got to sleep in (for us that's anything past 7am these days) and walked from our hotel into central Paris. On our walk we stopped at Angelina's to try the best hot chocolate in the world (according to our top deck leader) luckily we only got one to share coz it's seriously rich. Imagine making brownie mix and just not cooking it. It was like thick melted chocolate but still very yum. We...

Today we spent the morning doing a biking tour of Amsterdam. Amsterdam (aside from the smell and the red light district) is such a pretty city!! Beautiful canals and cute little houses!! Afterwards we went to the Dutch resistance Museum and learnt about the the Dutch s...

After a few steins last night at the Berlin Haufbrauhaus (famous beer hall) a few of us in the group braved the early morning and did a third Reich walking tour.

During this tour Chris and I learnt a lot and ...

Today we had a free day in Prague. We did a it of shopping (bought a few presents!!) and generally just explored. We tried these cool tube like donuts with melted chocolate inside, walked up the oldest astrological clock in the world and went to the markets! We finished the day off with a nice Czech dinner and a black light theatre show. Seriously the weirdest thing I've ever watched. But as a group of 30 we definitely experienced the strangeness together lol
