Long Journeys and the End of it all!

Prague was beautiful. We did a lot of Church and Chapel touring and finally left for Fussen, Germany, to see the Castle Neuschwanstein. For the uninitiated, it is the castle which inspired disneys castle logo. Very beautiful and nestled in the mountains. After the castle and some excellent bavarian dinner, we headed out to Stuttgart, the automobile capital of europe. The Mercedes benz museum was a masterpiece and it was thouroughly enjoyable! All of us loved the discounts students got at every place in germany.
After Stuttgart, we headed out to Cologne, another beautiful city nestled on the banks of the Rhine. The DOM Cathedral, one of the oldest and most revered church in christianity took our breaths away. Their treasury was even better and we had a chance to see the remains of the Magi.
Cologne gave way to Amsterdam. The hostel was clean and neat and we had a fun time walking around the city. The Ann Frank museum served another grim reminder of history and a family's failed struggle to get out of Nazi supremacy.

From Amsterdam, we moved to Paris via Antwerp and Brussels. Paris was AMAZING in all aspects. A Big city with a BIG History. Too many things here to describe, but the city was worth the visit! From Paris, we moved to Barcelona which is where I am writing this post from. Thanks to Bertha, our host, we had a flash tour of the city including the Campnou, Cathedral and the Pier. Tomorrow, we head out to Marseille from where we catch our flight to London. IF everything goes well, I should be in Minneapolis on Thursday morning :). Hope youve found this blog a BIT useful. Thanks again for the patience and have a great week ahead.
