This current group has me pretty occupied with "so many activities", but here is what I have been up to since I left Barcelona:
1: hanging out at the beach in Nice during the day, and some hard-ass parkouring around the streets at night. There is nothing like watching goofy white kids (and adults) doing some sick parkour
2: Skydiving and more Canyoning in Interlaken. Check off one more thing off my bucket list that wasn't on my bucket list. A 14,000ft jump out of a helicopter was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Unlike bungie jumping, I really enjoyed it even though I almost pissed my pants the entire time. The canonying trip was different, longer, and all around more badass than my 1st trip. Jumping, rappelling, and sliding down water falls in a canyon in the Swiss Alps is a damn good, but cold time. I highly suggest it.
3: Visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp outside of Munich. It was a very sobering and somber adventure but well worth it if you are a fan of history. It is one of the most depressing places in the world, which leads me to a question. Why do Asian tourists think it is ok to take pictures in a gas chamber, pointing to the vents while smiling? So many tasteless pictures that we had no choice but to try and photo bomb them.
4: The royal palace accompanied by a classical concert in Prague. This trip can't all be fun and games, the kids need some culture, and we got more than our share in Prague. The tour was nice, and so was the concert; but I learned that you can't try and force culture down an 18 year old's throat.
5: Arrived back in Amsterdam last night after our 3rd horrible problem with the European trIn system. We have had to deal with having the wrong itinerary and tickets going to interlaken, a train strike in Munich (which lead to us taking a bus to some random city in the Czech Republic and meeting the most outrageous homeless person I have ever seen. At one point he had 5 flies on his face and one in his mouth. We dubbed him "Dirty Mike"), and having the wrong itinerary for the 2nd time and a 3 hour delay. We got in last night at 11, and are now looking forward to 2 days of adventures in Amsterdam. Heiniken museum get ready.
