Today we woke up and did the walking tour with our hostel that took us through Old Town and some of the churches and areas we didn’t see yesterday. The guide told us a lot about the history and wars that happened here, then he took us up to the castle that doesn’t have an actual castle up there anymore ha. But it was a fun and informational tour. Then we walked around and got some lunch before heading back to the hostel because it was a little rainy. We decided it was a good day to go see the Top Gun movie which was amazing! Then we had some dinner and went back for an early night.Read more

Day trip to Chamonix
June 25, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Today we woke up early to catch an hour and a half bus to Chamonix in the French Alps. We got there and were planning on going for a hike up the mountain but saw that people were paragliding and so we asked around about that and the only time they had was 2pm so it wasn’t enough time to do a hike but we walked around the town, went into a farmers market, had cheese fondue and then went to the gondola to meet up with our guide. We took the gondola up and the guys got our stuff ready on the side of the mountain in a grassy area, he hooked me in and asked if I was ready. Then we said start walking and then start running and we were off! It was so peaceful and easy, we were up there for about 20-30 minutes, he left me steer a bit and then he did some tricks and turns! Then we went to a beer garden to chill for a bit before our bus back. We got back to the hostel to chill before meeting Allison Rice at the music festival that was going on outside around town which was so fun!Read more

Today we woke up and checked out of our hostel and went to a brunch place for amazing avocado toast! Then we walked to this smaller area in Geneva called Carouge but when we got there, because it was Sunday, the shops were all closed so there wasn’t as much for us to do. So we walked back to the main part of town and we got our books and hung out in a park until we decided to go see the new Elvis movie before our train that night. the movie was amazing and then we stopped on the way home for dinner at a burger place because it was the only thing open on Sunday ha! Then we went back to the hostel to get our bags before going to the bus station for our overnight train. It honestly was as bad because we each got our own row to spread out/ lay down in which was nice.Read more

June 27, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Today we started the day early because our overnight bus dropped us off at the bus station at 8:30am so we had the whole day to explore. We first dropped our bags at the hostel and then got a recommendation of where to find a free tour so we went to the main part of old down and joined a free tour walking tour for about 2 ½ hours. It was very informative and interesting as our guide talked about the history of churches, beer brewing and how everyone is only allowed to use the same 5 ingredients, and also some history about WWII. We finished the tour and walked up a church tower to get a overview of the old town which was amazing! Then we walked back to the hostel to check in and get settled. We changed and went to a tradition Bavarian place for dinner where we had pork roast with these potato/ rice things and then we had Käsespätzle which is basically just cheesy pasta. We also had to try another famous beer. Then we came back to the hostel and hung out with a group of people in the common area for a while which was fun!Read more

Today we woke up and did a group tour of the Dachau concentration camp which we learned was the first one there was. The tour was very informational and sad but important to see.

The whole tour took most of the day but we spent the rest of the afternoon at the Alte Pinakothek art gallery where there were some Van Goghs and Monets. Then we met up with some of the people from the hostel for the night.Read more
