Summer Holidays 2017 - Germany & Swiss Trip Experience

For the summer vacation we had planned to go to Germany and Switzerland for four days. We went on a Double Decker bus which was orange and had the word twin tours on it.My family sat on the top floor.

On the first day we took forever to get past the border between Germany and the Netherlands! [OK not like a whole year but you get the picture] Then we made a stop for breakfast. Since all of the people except the driver were Indians, we had an Indian breakfast. We had Idli, Chutney and Vada. I only ate the vada and one idli because I did not get used to the double decker yet.Then we continued our journey. There also was a small Tv at the front and soon it switched on and there came a movie. It was a funny movie. I laughed at the funniest parts.

When the movie finished, I found out that we arrived at the base of the mountain we were supposed to go to  and we were climbing up![ the bus was climbing] After a long time we arrived at our destination black forest Germany.It was called the black forest becuase if you looked down at it from a plane it looks like a black spot.  there was a souvenir shop and a building and a lake which we could go boating! but we we did not go boating that day. [ no worries we went boating on another day] We first went to the souvenir shop and brought a cuckoo clock , a black forest cake and two things for me and my little sister. one was a Kaiedoscope and the other was a toy Alicorn.


Then we went the restaurant which was in the big building I mentioned. there we brought two coffees for my parents and two donuts for me and my sister. There was chocolate in the donuts.Yum! Then we went to the lake and took a lot of photos.Then we went back to the bus and went to our stop for lunch. Again it was Indian food. The lunch was rice and something to dip the rice in. then we continued our journey.

The driver put some music on.  then everyone, well not EVERYONE , did an introduction about themselves. My dad did one of them. Soon we made our stop for dinner. again it was rice with something to dip it in. At that time it was raining. Soon we continued our journey to a hotel to stay for the night. we could only spend one night in that hotel because the next two nights were spent in a hotel in Switzerland and the hotel we stayed in that night was in Germany! I was exhausted by the time we got to the hotel. When we got to our room in the hotel, I Immeadiatly sat on the bed.[ ok without my shoes of course] After I changed into my pyjamas, I had more dinner, brushed my teeth, read a book and went to bed.

About My GREAT and Best Grandfather

This article is dedicated to my grandfather since we lost him last October.

When I was 1 or 2 years old I used to sit on his lap. I really like to show my schoolwork [ I only go to India in the summer so I take my schoolwork home to India] to him. He really likes my schoolwork and he really likes me.

One time I even told the names of my toys![which are in India]. When I was in India, when i was 6 years old, In the summer whenever my grandfather reads the newspaper I always hit the paper and he laughs when I keep doing it. I don't keep doing it any more though. my cousins and my little sister used to go and ask my grandfather to play with us he often agrees.

He is one of the reasons I like going to India the best. He also tells me stories which I like hearing. He also supports me and calls me Netherlands princess [even if I am not one].
