SO SORRY FOLKS!! this is long overdue!!!!
Well a quick overview of what we've done is in order!!!
From The Netherlands we took a train to Berlin which was great, we stayed in a fantastic little hostel and got to enjoy the wonderful city of Berlin we saw the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and Holocaust Memorial to name a few. The weather was gorgeous and Germany's dance crews were out in full force? odd but a nice touch! From Berlin to Munich for oom pa pa bands tons of history beautiful cobble stone streets and cute little cafes! DELIGHTFUL!!!!
Germany to Poland and our first stop was Warsaw. We entered the city of Warsaw 2 days after the plane crash occured killing both the President and his wife, as well as nearly 100 other government officials. Really devastating news! and the entire country went into a two week mourning period. The streets were lined with thousands of candles and flowers and thousands upon thousands flocked the streets to pay their respects! From Warsaw we headed to Krakow where we went 135 metres below ground to a HUGE salt mine (pretty neat) and then on a day trip to Auschwitz which was incredibly powerful to see and witness.
From Poland we entered the Czech Republic and our first stop was Prague which we thoroughly enjoyed! BEAUTIFUL CITY the weather was amazing and the Chel and I were finally both feeling 100% at the same time! BLESSING! Yesterday we were in Czechs second largest city Brno, which in the end was rather cute :) and now.... whew... VIENNA AUSTRIA!!! 5 countries and just under 3 weeks! It's been a whirlwind! but absolutely delightful!!!!
Hope you all at home are doing swimmingly!!! enjoy the fresh spring air!!!
xoxo Simone and Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!

Hi girls:
ReplyDeleteAgain thank you for the update. Think about you often wondering how you are doing. It is so great for you to be experiencing the world. I hope little old BC won't be too boring for you when you get back.
Amy wants to do some travelling through Europe and I am a bit nervous about her doing it alone like you guys. I guess I shouldn't be asking you this as you are already in the situation, but is it safe and is it easy to find places to stay, etc. I noticed you went to Auswitch. That is one of the places she would really like to go to. Maybe chat with her on facebook one time Simone and mention a bit about what it is like. You know it is great for me to be excited for you, but when it is my own daughter it is a little scarier. Not to say I don't love you, but you know what I mean.
Anyways, continue to have fun and see all that you can. So excited for you to come home and tell us all about it.
Just got your post card. Thank you so much for thinking of us. I love the little picture you drew.
Love you both. See you in a few months.
Love Auntie Helle
