Well.... Now i realize how long its been since ive written a proper blog. Sorry!!!
Belgium was okay. We went to a chocolate factory which was awesome... It was unfortunatly raining the whole time though which made it bad for sight seeing. We made friends with our hosetls bartender and he took us to a different bar one night after he got off which was called Happy Days.
Rotterdam turned out to be a bit better. Yes, it rained most of the time, but there was one afternoon where it cleared up and we went to a fair that was across the street from our hostel. We soon found out though that the fair was aimed at little children... oh well. Let me tell you that when you go into a coffee shop in the netherlands..... you can not get coffee... Cafes are for coffee, so you can guess what coffee shops are hehe.
Amsterdam was another world. It was crazy going to the red light district. We ran into it during the day one day and didnt think much of it... the ladies wernt that good looking and there wernt very many. We went again one night though and i couldnt believe my eyes. There was not a single bad looking girl there. They all could have been models. It was werid to think they had chosen that as a career. We went to Tones of museums in Amsterdam. The wax museum was my favourite though! I got my picture with brad pitt! ;) The torture museum was cool, and we went into a sex museum which had to be done seen as we were in amsterdam which was funny.
Switzerland was Beautiful! Sooo much green and we were staying a blog away from the lake! It FINALLY cleared up for one of the days we were there which was nice, so we went to the beach. We tried to go see the united nations, but for some reason it was closed so our guided tour did not happen. As we were walking home from the beach was ran into a massive parade! All the streets were blocked off from cars and they were FULL of people. I cant even describe how many people were in the streets dancing etc. Youll see pics when i get them up in 4 days when we are in singen with a proper computer to hook up our camras.
Yesterday we survived the 10 hour train ride up to Berlin. We wanted to change our dates and make singen first so we dont have to go back to the bottom of germany again in 4 days, but unfortunatly the berlin hostel was full, so we are going to stick out the long train rides.
itäs 9:17am right now and kirk is still sleeping, lazy boy hehe. This hostel has a girls wing and a boys wing so we are seperated. We just find it anoying because we cant tell when the other person wakes up etc... so im stuck waiting here in the lobby until he comes down which could be hours for all i know hehe ;)
Here in berlin, we are in a hostel outside of the main city. I think we choose it because it was cheaper and so we have to take the U-Bahn (metro), and Bus into the city. Hopefully it does not cost us too much for transportation... I remember when I was here before we could buy a book of tickets for everything, so i am going to look into that today.
Anyways, I willl report again soon!
love you all, thanks for all our comments i enjoy reading them!
love Dani ( and kirk too probably if he was awake ;) )

Hi You Two,
Sounds wonderful, now you can try your Deutsch! Wie gehts? Everything is good here, Reed isn't going to Calgary, now has to go to plan B, C, D.... Take lots of pictures, hope Kirk gets out of bed.
Love Mom and Belle and Taylor
Man......I'm tired just reading about your trip to date......Sounds like fun though.
Not as much fun as Mom and I had on Saturday night though.....went for a sunset "sail" which almost ended up bneing a sunrise sail!. Our motor seized up on the way back and luckily Keith was able to tow us in! The motor is in getting serviced now so it should be in perfect shape by the time you get back!
Take Care
Luv
Dad
Hey Kirk!
Are you awake yet?? :)
You're getting close to the half-way point of your trip! Can you believe it?
Ran into Jane Shaak tonight and she said Turkey was her boys' favourite place, but expensive (?) to get into. Hmmm.
Glad you're having fun. Missing you tons and tons.
Mom
You certainly do a lot of travelling and sideseeing - remember Dani when you girls always said "are we there yet" after you just left home to travel to Vernon or somewherelse.?
