Prague and Berlin all in one week...
This week has been awesome! 27 of us went to Prague and Berlin for the week. There was a lot of time spent in the bus but it was fun. We got to see so much and learn a lot of historical things too. Prague was cool but also very cold...walking around for 6 hours on a walking tour of the city when it is freezing cold out isn't that fun but it was fun to see all the buildings and the changing of the guards and such. The highlights from Prague include going to Melnik castle and having a wine tasteing there... seeing the city from the clock tower...seeing the cathedral... and just getting to explore there. We also went to the Terezin consentration camp. It was very interesting but it was also very sad to see all the graves and the conditions that so many people were forced to live in.
Berlin was a ton of fun. We got there on Thursday night and left on Friday night (we had just over 24 hours there.... not nearly enough time to see everything) We had a four hour long bus tour of the city with an excellent tour guide so we were able to see alot of the city and the more interesting aspects of the history of Berlin and what has shaped it. We had about 8 hours friday afternoon to do whatever we wanted so five of us went to the Berlin Zoo... it was sooo fun. We spent about 3 hours there and only saw about half of the zoo but we had to leave because it was closing :( So we just wandered around and did a few other things.
We got back to Zwolle about 6 am today and I went home and slept for most of the day
I am still trying to recover from so much activity and excitement this week.
