... of a mining camp here from the 1200s.<br><br>On x, we set out for the German Fairy-tale Road. It's an unofficial list of places that the Brothers Grimm either lived/worked or provided inspiration for their stories. The whole road is about 600 kilometers (373 miles) long. My daughter very much wanted to see this but doing the whole thing was impossible in the time we had left so we picked a ...

... why we came... with a stable full of Lipizzaner stallions... llamas, camels and exotic old world breeds of unique farm animals... surrounded by a multitude of gardens and a petting zoo full of baby goats and lambs... perfect for the boys... At heart they are farm boys and often talk about living in the country and riding horses, raising sheep and running the hills with their dogs... Not sure if this is in our cards... but it has been a recurring dream we ...

... you want to go to church you have to register with the church, and then pay a certain amount of your wages or earnings to the church. This is mandatory, and they can send debt collectors if you don't pay up. You have to belong to a church if you want to be married in one, or serve in the marriage party like as best man, or get your kid baptised. The inside of the church was incredible and the pictures don't do it justice at all. There were small areas along the side with a saint and a ...

... I (Elke) feel like I'm going to burst because I'm laughing so hard but am trying to not add to the noise) "Ugh, Nathalie, I'm not going to touch you for the rest of the trip (insert more giggling here)." Add very bad food and even worse service before we went to bed and you get the picture. So next stop the next morning = check out of the hostel and into a hotel we spotted the day before. An excellent move ...

... was really nice to have some fresh faces here. I was amazed to hear how similar their complaints were to ours; mainly clashing personalities in our groups. From the sounds of things they really liked it here in Vienna and they didn't want to leave so soon. Two of the girls in that group had done the Pierce in Vienna program before so they already kind of knew the city. We didn't really do ...

"Retake with Evidence" (2007), with its large empty room and large projection of actor Harvey Keitel standing before an empty background, at first sent my minimalism-appreciation neurons happily firing. But it was awful listening to Keitel drone on for minutes which seemed like days, reciting some melancholic ...

... unsurprisingly were quite dark and challenging but fascinating, particularly the sculptures created by an artist couple that used scrap metal pieced together in a seemingly random fashion but when lit from the right angle the shadows created on the wall were of the artist couple taking a pee! Next we headed for the Haus der Musik. A fantastic museum dedicated ...

... Stopped for a hot chocolate and blog update at our most expensive internet cafe to date. We left the center at 3:30 for a tour of the Schnaps Museum. Production of Schnaps began in 1875 in a small town outside of Vienna (now inside Vienna) along a major railway that brought fruit to the facility. The steam boilers were bought in Paris at the World's Fair and are stilled used today (they're the only two pieces of equipment that survived the ...

... tonight has put me in a much better mood, and I hope to spend the next little while recharging my batteries. Amsterdam was an architectural dream come true, and I really enjoyed my few days there. I could absolutely see myself going to school and living there. So sorry, but I am really tired tonight. I promise to write more soon.............

... only 40 euro. THen, we did a little more shopping. Meg had some trouble with her ATM card, so we had to deal with that. Finally, we had a chance go to dinner. We went to an Australian pub where I had nachos and then split a piece of chocolate cake with meg. We walked around a little more, then grabbed the bus back to the hotel. once back at the hotel, we did some packing since we leave ...
