Alright friends! Sorry about the wait you've had...if you were waiting. But here's the update - we got to London safely. We then took a few trains to get right to the centre of it! The wonderful Kaila picked us up (after waiting for way too long), and we went back to her flat to dump our stuff.
Time flew by after that with extensive use of the 'Tube', and seeing all the incredible sights of London. Here's what we saw----> Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, St. Paul's, Tower bridge, Buckingham palace, and a delicious food market! After 3 short (cold) days in London we flew back to Amsterdam. Lianne's Aunt picked us up once again, we went home packed like crazy, slept like crazy, and were off to Germany!
We arrived after 5 hours of trains in the town of Dillenburg! Where our great friend Jonathan's family is. He planned out quite a crazy day for us yesterday, which was awesome (: We started by eating a huge breakfast, then onto the forest! We climbed up the side of a tree infested hill to a massive rock hanging off of it. Only to discover a cave! Hooray! So we went inside and crawled under to an even smaller cave, got nice and muddy, then went to their Oma and Opa's for lunch. German food is ridiculously good. Ate our hearts out, and went to play badminton! Which we're all pro's at now. After an hour of badminton we were on our way to camp to get beaten up by Jr. High boys because we were British troops coming to tell them the King wasn't sending them money (but we actually aren't British...). So we started off by butchering our own national anthem, then rambled on in English, until a little kid who spoke French was told to interpret everything Jonathan said...which was only "I want to eat bread!" They got mad and threw him in the lake! Let's be clear here, Germany is cold. Very cold. And that lake was very cold. But he took it like a man, and we enjoyed a rowdy supper with a bunch of kids we couldn't understand. After that we went to bible study at their church and studied Genesis 1:20, and met some very nice folks who could converse very well with us! After that is where we get the true Germany experience. We went to the local castle quite late and took a self led tour of the inside - which is massive by the way. Wandered through the crazy pathways and down all the winding steps, only to find that there were lights on in some places...strange. We didn't even get lost! That was yesterday. Today we're getting things we need before we got to Italy tomorrow! That's what's up right now.
Peace
