Day 6

After yesterday's busy travel day, we all awoke bright and early for our first day in Krakow. Everyone was fairly tired but so excited for the day ahead of us. At 7am the nineteen of us headed down for a lovely breakfast to wake us up (there was so much to choose from). After breakfast, at 7:30 everyone made their way down to reception and we departed on our short walk to the train station. We then caught our train at around 8:20. On the train some people did each other’s hairs, others slept and some had a natter. Then we got on another little train which took us from the station to the park (two of the girls had a slightly chaotic train ride as the door opened but was soon closed). 



Soon enough we arrived at the world of Energylandia! When we got there we had a little cuffufle with the tickets but Liv and Emma quickly resolved it. 



Very excited we all raced into the park and split up into small groups. There were some people who were headed to the water park, others doing the thrilling scary rides and some doing a mixture. In the morning most of us chose to go to the theme park (apart from Nicky who throughly enjoyed the waterpark) where we tackled small rides such as the caterpillar roller coaster, the alien roller coaster (which was surprisingly very aggressive even though it was supposed to be for children) and the jungle rafters. Whilst others did the huge roller coasters such as Mayan, Viking, Speed, Zadra and HYPERION. Hyperion is the 2nd highest roller coaster in Europe which included fearful loopty loops and it also reached incredible speeds. As you can imagine there was a lot of happy and terrified screams from all of us throughout the day even on the kid rides. 




Many of us also did the massive speed log flume rollercaoster that levitated you up on a platform and threw you straight down a steep slope and into a body of water. Some of the girls also forced Leanne and Fiona onto a wooden roller coaster that they hated. 



After a fast but also slow morning from waiting in the queues, we reached lunchtime where we all ate a variation of foods such as wraps, chicken, chips and pizza. During lunch a wasp flew into one of the girls Mountain Dew! (Izzy) Unfortunately we thought it had died but turns out it just went for a little paddle in the fizzing bottle. Eloise managed to fish it out and it ended up carelessly flying away. After that we got a text from the leaders asking if we wanted to stay at the park until 8:00 instead of 5:30!! Everyone voted and the result was... that we were staying till 8!! Which everyone was thrilled about. For the rest of the afternoon and early evening the majority of the girls and leaders continued to ride the horrifying but extremely blissful rides.



Although some girls and leaders headed down to the water park and tried out the crazy slides this really helped them all cool down from the exotic heat. There were tub slides, drop slips and twisty slides. There was also a lazy river that many of the leaders really liked. We also went in the massive swimming pool which had three mini wave pools inside of it and also a little jacuzzi area. The jacuzzi was located inside a castle inside of the swimming pool. The castle had some interesting artwork across the walls. We were also able to go on some waterslides beside each other and race to victory which was so cool!! 




We continued going round the theme park and water park during the early evening. We then made a quick pit stop for dinner which was more chicken and chips and also nachos. 



Everyone then rushed back to the entrance for 7:50 after a fab day in the theme park. We all then said goodbye to Energylandia and departed on our journey back to the hotel. The nineteen of us caught the teeny tiny chew chew train back to the train station and we waited at the platform for a little while for our train. Whilst we waited we had a debrief of our day, watched the sunset and chilled out as we were all exhausted. Finally, we caught the train back to the hotel and settled down after a magnificent day.

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...

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 host...
