I now know why Barcelona is in Ed Sheeren and George Ezra's songs. Friday afternoon me and 5 of my friends took the train from Montpellier to Barcelona and right when n we got there is a refreshing change of hospitality, everyone wanted to help us get to here we were going, nicer, and just friendlier-those qualities aren't so much in the French regime. We made it to our hostel easily, it was nice and clean and kind of felt like we were all just staring in one big house. The area was a bit shotty but the location over all was fabulous and were a 2 minute walk from the main street in La Rambla. Friday night we went to the coolest Tapas restaurant that had a dj, disco ball, and some delicious home made food. The host was very friendly and ended getting all of us into a club across the street, love the Spanish hospitality. We ended up at this very fun little hole in the wall dancing club with a live band and salsa danced until 4 in the morning.  In La Rambla you can be walking down

Switzerland to Germany to France to Germany

Today was quite the day of driving from Switzerland to Germany to France and back to Germany we went but all I can say is thank goodness for no border control. On our road trip we were able to visit Cailler Chocolate Factory eat way to much chocolate, get stuck in some nasty traffic, have a wonderful picnic by the Rhein River in Basel, see some villages and towns, and lastly arrive at a great little hotel in Germany where I still am not quite sure is exactly but I do know it is very nice, they have the sweetest employees, and wonderful food so works for me! Switzerland was an absolutely superb stop and included everything from delicious food, wonderful company visiting with family, and scenic views.

We were staying on Lake Geneva in the small town of Padeaux and were able to walk around the quaint villages and absolutely breathtaking lake. The only downside was it was raining like

Safari

Safariing was quite the adventure through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It included lots of driving, we covered a thousand miles over the course of 4 days, but also saw lots of animals and beautiful scenery. After being on a mountain with the same people for nearly 2 weeks it was quite the change to go back to civilization in the Toyota Migration of tourists and safariier's. At Ngorongoro we were able to experience the Masai Tribes culture and community including a tour of their huts and being able to sample some of their freshly killed goat (that really helped with my stomach troubles!) In the Serengeti we were able to get up close and personal with the animals including lions, giraffes, wildebeests, a rhinoceros, and loads of elephants. One morning we got up and chased the Great Migration seeing over half a million animals in the course of our safari. All in all it was a great safari and adventure I do have to say I am ready for some running water and maybe not be waken up by la
