Holland

After getting a good night rest from the night before, it was a full day out in Holland visiting cities such as Rotterdam and Amsterdam. We headed to a diamond factory for the first thing in the morning because nothing wakes you up better than having diamonds in your hands! The Gassan Diamond Factory is made up of a few floors. Each room I walk past in the factory, they looked like laboratory rooms meant for chemical scientists that you would commonly find in the movies! But of course, it's filled with diamond experts instead. :smile: Doesn't this just looked like a scene stripped right off a milk advertisement?! I would always think that I could only see this in New Zealand but apparently that's not the case because there are more sheeps there! So,[...]

I've actually had this post lying in my drafts for a really long time because I've been working REALLY HARD on my studies enjoying my trip back home too much with food showers.

So I was still around in Germany in Day 5 and it was tiring because we're moving from one country to another everyday! I certainly felt like a Nomad! :mrgreen: Nothing spells a good breakfast without a warm cup of english breakfast tea on a cold and gloomy day! We were taken to a tiny town to catch the ferry to Cologne, Germany. But there was an hour till the ferry came, so we walked b[...]
