 Mommy woke up early this morning to take some pictures of the bridge in Lucerne then we headed to see Bern.

 Max found it highly amusing to crush coins on the train tracks as you can see they became really flat.

 This is the sign for Bern which is the capital of Switzerland.

 Me at the lake house where we went fishing and swimming in lake Gruyere

Last night we arrived thankfully safe and sound from Garmisch the drive was beautiful,  except for one wicked hail storm we had to stop and wait for it to pass, the storm was awful considering we were in the middle of summer. When we arrived in Lucerne we checked into our hotel and headed to the english pub on the river where we watched the closing ceremonies. They were awesome.....

 Today we went around Lucerne where mommy came with her family when she was little. We walked the wall around the city and had lunch on a bridge across the river. 

 We went for a boat ride around lake Lucerne it was really lovely, the weather couldn't be nicer the boat was made in Lucerne so they are rather proud of it.

Garmisch- Partenkirchen 

 What a beautiful little town. We enjoyed walking around the town in the morning after having had a fabulous breakfast. 

 We headed in our car and off to see the Winter Olympic ski shoot the olympics were held here in 1936 for the fourth winter games. The shoot is truly huge I certainly wouldn't want to jump off. 

 We went on a little chair lift up to the top of the Eckbauer Bahn. The views were gorgeous. we rolled around in the grass while we were up there.

 In the european countries around the slops they have these toboggans. It was soo much fun daddy loved it.

The other castle was his parents castle which was called Schloss Hohenschwangau they were so cool.                                                                                 

We went to a small beach next to the castle there was also a long path way up to the castle that had a beautiful view from the top.

 After the tour of the castle we walked down and went to the other castle.  I ran up a mile long hill trying to beat the horse and buggy which I did!!!!!!!

 In the castle there was a piece of bread the he got for his birthday in the 1800's.  It looked like poop!!!!!!!!!

Today we went into Munich and walked around the town where the Hofbrauhaus is. It is so cool and all the parents wanted to do was shop for luggage :( it was sooo boring but the rest of the day was fun especially when we went to look at the glockenspiel that was soo cool:). We also went out to the BMW plant by the Olympic park. 

 We went to the Marienplatz City Center so after that we kept looking at shops we went to the open market and ate lots of yummy fruits and vegetables for snacks, until we went to the hofbrauhaus house it was so funny to watch our parents get drunk again!! Then we went to sleep.

The Eiffel Tower was our first stop today because we were trying to beat the crowds. We had our usual crepe for the morning and headed to the queue for the tickets to go up the tower. It took a while in the line but we made it and took loads of pictures. It was amazing. On the way down we walked from the second floor, there were 672 steps to the bottom. Afterwards we went to the train for Munich. We were really excited because we went first class and surprised Mommy. 

 At the first stop we all got off and scared Mommy by standing outside the train and waving at her. She thought Daddy was crazy. The train is super cool, it’s called a TGV and it goes 200mph. We have got all our blog up to date and played cards the rest of the way.

After the Louvre we had a crepe for lunch and took a walk around town. Then we went to Notre Dam and looked around the church. Then we went on a boat ride around the Seine. Then we walked around a small town called St. Germaine and had dinner. Then we went to the hotel and went to bed.
