Rheinhotel Ruedesheim Rüdesheim am Rhein

... our GPS get its bearings we headed to Brugge.

Arriving late in the afternoon we checked in at the Ibis (not the best hotel, but it was cheap considering the cost of other hotels). This hotel is located right in the centre of the old town.

Brugge is a step back in time. The old cobbled stone roads, the horse and carts, and the pretty old buildings. The main form of transport in Brugge ...

Short entry this time....

Only here for one night. Got to the hotel saw a couple of shops with beersteins, birkenstocks and clocks. Had dinner and watched some feral women proceed to get ****** and act like idiots in the hotel bar. Some good news though, won 30 euro on the slot machine in the hotel.

One of the guys (we assume it was a guy) even peed in the hotel hallway and our Tour Manager had to clean it up. People can be such animals.

... Oh and I almost forgot! While me and my mom were chatting away, Chris went off and got us each a flower. One for my mom, since it was her birthday, and one for me, well, just because I’m me! Isn’t he a sweetie pie! It’s a good thing he never reads these ;-)!! Hehe!
That ended our trip to Mainz but it was worth it for a little quality time with my mom! Hopefully we will get another chance to get together. Love you Mommy!

Wow St Goar seriously looks like a very typical little German town, it's hard to describe why but when you just look at the little houses you know your in Germany.
Went to wine tasting last night coz the Rhine Valley produces sweet reslings and i like sweet wines but even i was like dude this is hurting my jaw LoL...
kinda wish i was a mum right now coz it seems like we stop for a second and Kylie ...

... by the ancient Romans. Now, in Japan and Turkey and Hungary, baths are sex-segregated for the naked parts, but clothed for mixed-gender. Not so here...everyone's junk was out for all to see and holy **** was it weird. Especially with the combo of hot sauna; steam room, and cold dips. 'nuff saId. Anyway. My eyes are burning.

Tomorrow we are visiting the little towns on the Rhine for more neuer wine and pretzels. Then it's home on Monday!

... lbs. of them approximately. I know for a fact one of them was 54 lbs. I dashed like OJ Simpson headed to FL post his criminal trial, and just made it!

We arrived in Geneva and located the shuttle to my hotel, where I immediately crashed. One thing I can nearly guarantee, is that my bags and I will NOT become separated again. The whole affair cost me about 3-4 hours and more than a little anxiety. Thank God that the man on my ...

... feel quite so out of his element. If all goes well, our Czech
Buddies provided by the university, Jana and Filip, will be meeting us at the
bus station in Prague at 6pm and by 7, we will have settled into our dorm rooms
and passed out. God willing, there will be no glitches in the remaining travels
en route to Prague.

... down there. Here you can sort of see the castle across the river. These photos really don't do it justice. It was a beautiful view! The next morning we woke to a gorgeous view from our balcony on the second floor. It was truly amazing! We had pictures, but they were on Kathryn's camera which was lost during ...

... between 'crazy' and 'passionate'. Good info to have. After saying good-bye to Aida, the next day I traveled a couple of towns over to St. Goar to visit Rheinfels Castle. It's the biggest in the area, although now in ruins (thanks to the French). It is a cool place to visit, but like most attractions in non-English speaking countries, it lacks sufficient descriptions of everything. The guide and map that ...

... and geography knowledge sucks... oh well!) and the little mountains, or "peaks" rather, reminded me of the southern part of Bosnia and got me really longing to go! Except that there are proper mountains and much more woods there... Missing it now! Wish there was a way of having all the places you love in the world all together in one place... Like, somewhere just outside of London! There must be a way...! So was a nice weekend ...
