Europe Tour

Hey everyone! I recently came back from my Europe Tour with my district here in Germany! We went through a program called "Belo Europe travel" and it was an amazing experience! I'll post a short play by play of how the trip went!


First off we went to Amsterdam which is only three or so hours away from where I live here in Germany. We had a bike tour of the city, had a picnic in the park, toured Anne Frank House and ended the day with a boat tour of the famous canals!






























The next day we went to Brussels for the afternoon. We just walked around the city, got waffles and french fries! Then we got back on the bus and headed to Paris!








                                                                                     
 The next two days were spent in Paris! We had several walking tours of the city, saw all the popular monuments, ate lots of food, lounged in the sun in front of the Eiffel Tower, saw the Louvre Museum and got plenty sun burnt!

















                                                                                     

The next day we hopped on the bus and drove to Geneva, Switzerland. We had a tour of the UN office and hung out in our fancy Five-Star hotel. The next morning we walked around the old town, shopped a bit, walked by the lake and then went on the bus to head to our next city!




 



















After a long 11 hour bus ride from Switzerland ( thank you traffic in Milan) we finally arrived in Venice! The next day we had a walking tour of the city, ate fresh fruit at the local market, rode on the gondolas and toured the glass making on the island Murano!

The next day we stopped in Postonja Slovenia and had a tour of the caves. Then we got on the bus and arrived that evening in Budapest! The next morning we had a tour of the city, the big hill, castle hill, the palace and that evening we went to the thermal baths and had a traditional dinner with the local people who performed a traditional dance!  












































Then we headed off to the city of Vienna! We had a picnic in the park, had a tour of the palace and the city, a tour of the library and we went to the Sounds of Vienna show!
















                                                                                                                                                           

Then we went to Prague! On the way there we stopped in Bratislava Slovakia and had a tour of the castle and city. Then we went to Prague and had dinner! Which consisted of half a duck and a large portion of potatoes... The next day we had a full day tour of the city and palace. We ate lots of ice cream and walked until we had plenty of blisters. That night we threw a Rotary appropriate party. The next morning we woke up bright and early and went back to Germany!
