Around The World: Netherlands-Belgium-France

Well once again we had a wake up call come through at about 6:30. We all boarded the bus nice and tired (we stayed up until after midnight so we could all sing Happy Birthday to one of the Aussie girls Jess who turned 18. She was really lucky because she got it sung to her in quite a few different languages) and headed off for Brussels, Belgium where we had a 2 hour tour. Unfortunately for our group, we had a very creepy tour guide (I don't think any more needs to be said about him). He took us to a courtyear/square where there were some of the most magnificant buldings I have ever seen. These pictures show only a few of them.

There's a myth about this women that if you touch her while making a wish it will come true but if you touch the angel's head above her you will become pregnant in the next year. Don't worry everybody I made sure I didn't touch the angel head.

Well after visiting the angel, some of us thought we would quickly run into a souvenier shop to buy some things. What we didn't think about was that our creepy tour guide wouldn't wait for us, so unfortunatel 6 of us got slightly lost from the group.

The group that got lost. Good work girls!!

Moni (one of my many adopted oldies) and me!

After our tour around Brussels, it was time to head off to Paris, France. Once we had booked into the hotel in Paris, it was time for the thing all of us girls had been waiting for, The Eiffel Tower.

The sunset! Was so romantic and I only had the other exchange students to share it with. It was while around the Eiffel Tower that lots of girls and me really began to miss our boys who were left behind in various other countries.

All around the top there were these pictures of our far it was to various places around the world. I took some pictures of the ones that might matter to our family!
