Deutschland (aka Germany)

So it's been awhile since I've written and for that I apologize.

However, I do have an exciting tale of trains, buses, random car rides, and lifts!


 It all starts with four young adults with a dream of fresh powdered snow and the thrill of going down the Alps.

After several weeks of deliberation we finally came to the decision that we were going to go skiing in Germany. Our plan was simple get there the cheapest possible way. This meant first traveling by bus for 5 hours to Cologne, Germany from Amsterdam. Then taking a train or rather several trains until we finally arrived in Garmisch. The way back, we planned to take trains all the way to the Netherlands border then hitchhike back to Amsterdam. So here is a photographic diary of our trip!

" Forever Young" was our motto

The food we took with us on our adventure... PB& J yum!

We were so surprised to see this site 

I felt like I was really in Europe when I saw this

So pretty

So we made it back safe and sound with a once in a lifetime experience under our belts. Some might call us crazy, but to us we're just adventureres
