URUP

GERMANY – Feb. 26th

Legit. I have been staying in a schloss. I bet you have no idea what that means, so I’ll tell you. Apparently... It means palace. As I mentioned before... LEGIT. Pastor Dan has some pretty sweet connections in Germany, and it totally benefits me, that’s fo’ sho. Sooo we’re in this town called Nuewied. And we’re  staying with the Zu Wiedes. Basically they’re this noble family, with the head of the family being a prince. Chyeah. His name is Carl. As scared as I was to be dining with a family of such high class, it turns out that they’re fairly laid back. Even though the dudes serving our food are dressed better than I am, it’s not really a big deal. I probably don’t need to mention that the house is nice.. And their cars are nice.. And the food isn’t bad either.. I’m still in the stage where I’m used to Africa, but I’m not in Africa anymore.. It’s quite a jump to be staying in a palace. And all the cars are back on the other side of the road! It’s bizarre, and driving anywhere is so quiet, nobody uses their horns or anything. 

FRANCE - Feb. 28th

Uhhh. Didn't like France much. Eiffel Tower was pretty sweet. Vimy Ridge was just awesome, I came outta that place all full of patriotic pride and stuff. But yeah.. France? No thanks, keep your baguettes. I'll find breakfast elsewhere.

HOLLAND - Feb. 28th

I've been here for a couple hours.. And it's already better than France. Tomorrow we're going to Amsterdam and shopping! Thennnnn after that... Back to CANADA!!! So weird to be heading home... So weird. 

So that first Germany bit was written when I wasn't distracted... Top Gear is on, so I apologize for the rest of that mess up there. I'll see you soon, snowy north!

  1. Wow, you stayed in a palace!? That's amazing!! I sure hope you took tons of pictures. And also, I'm SOOOO jealous...I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Vimy Ridge. I love that you left there more patriotic than ever :) I imagine that would happen to any Canadian who visited. Hope you enjoyed Amsterdam and have a great flight back to BC!
