Day 3

We started our day bright and early (6:37 for my room to be exact) for a busy, yet fun, day. We enjoyed our hostel buffet for breakfast and many of us enjoyed the rolls for lunch too! Once we had eaten we headed to the underground and, after loosing some people to another platform, we headed to another area of the city for a walking tour from our own Emma. We started off at the Brandenburg gate which was stunning and EXTREMELY sunny. 




After a quick photoshoot, we headed to the holocaust memorial. This memorial encapsulated the feelings of the victims as they were persecuted. As we ventured further into the memorial, the concrete blocks stated to tower over us and the path became increasingly bumpy. 



After a VERY close call with a wasp, we headed into the Reichstag building where we took in GORGEOUS views of the city from the dome on the roof. 



From here, we had free time which most of us spent shopping (of course).  Once we were done, we headed back to the hostel on an extremely packed train to collect our bags and head to Prague!

Apart from ANOTHER police sighting, the train journey all went well, some played exploding kittens, some had a chat, and some had a good sleep. Upon arrival, we faced a 20 minute walk to our hostel where the receptionist took her sweet time with checking in. Despite this, we still made our reservation at my favourite restaurant, Hard Rock Cafe! 




Here we jammed to music, took a LOT of photos and made friends with the waiter. Me (Izzy), other Izzy, Leah and Camilla were allowed to have his lanyard for a few minutes to admire his impressive hard rock pin collection before our food and the whole group played a guessing game of where he was from to earn a London pin. Once we had eaten our gorgeous mains, Saskia and Lillien shared an IMMENSE dessert. 


Finito. 

Until next time

Day 9 Started off at 7:30 and had a varied breakfast before walking to the station.  Vienna is filled with beautiful buildings and many swifties. This walk to the train station had many choruses of ‘Vienna’ by Billy Joel. The spanish riding was gorgeous and inspiration for many photos.  We watched the classic viennese horses as well as having the honour of watching some beautiful grey from elsewhere.  Both the horses and the architecture were stunning.  After this we walked to the museum of illusions which was very busy, like the beautiful main city streets. The museum was filled with really cool but trippy illusions, like this one modelled by Steph and Tilly.  This kaleidoscope illusion was really cool (modelled by Tilly) The museum was also very aesthetic leading to plenty of cute pictures for the blog.  This illusion made Tilly look even shorter than she already was which was previously thought impossible. After this we enjoyed Starbucks, a McDonald...

Day 10 We started off as usual with breakfast at the hostel and afterwards we each got a badge and a group photo with the group of Girl Guides from North East England who are also Interrailing around Europe.  Izzy discovered on the tram that she'd left her phone at the hostel that we had checked out of and she isn't sure where it was left which we have now been back to and found. Afterwards, we went to a chocolate making workshop and museum where we all got to make 3 chocolate bars and choose what to put on them and what flavour. We also made an Aztec hot chocolate which had chilli and cinnamon in. We went to a spa for the afternoon to have some chill time and cool off in the 32° heat, which had lots of different pools and water slides for everyone to enjoy as well as sun beds for those who wanted to just lay down and read or have a sleep. On the way back, Saskia and Lilien decided that they had enough of us all today and did not get off the train when they were meant to, so we...
