Ever since we started planning this trip I’ve been excited for the Alps as I absolutely love mountains and their scenery. When we first started to get into the foothills of the Alps in France I started looking at which route to take as I wanted to find the best one with the nicest views.… Continue reading The Alps.

The Black Market
In Mexico City, they are black markets where they sell counterfeit items, such as fake Raybans and Dr. Dre headphones, along with other stuff. People have to be careful when selling counterfeit items, as the police patrol almost everywhere. They often have a person who stands and watches for the police and whistles if they see… Continue reading The Black Market
Mexico City
Mexico City was originally built by the Aztecs in 1325 on an island they made in Lake Texcoco. They made the island by dumping soil into the lake till an island was formed. The city was called Tenochtitlan by the Aztecs until Cortez came and nearly completely destroyed it in the siege of Tenochtitlan in 1521. It wasn’t… Continue reading Mexico City

Castle are fun to explore, the smaller castles more so, but then they start to just repeat. Bigger castles, like Caenarfon, get more and more repetitive as you walk on the side of… Continue reading More on Castles and Food
Tintagel
We drove into Cornwall and into Tintagel, which is a little town on the coast of Cornwall. We camped at a pub stop there and stayed there for a few days to save some money. The first day we where there we went to see King Arthur’s castle, and Merlin’s Cave. The castle is on… Continue reading Tintagel
Leaving Edinburgh
We went out to eat at a pub called the Conan Doyle, named after Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote Sherlock Holmes. I got the Nicholson’s Grill, which had fries, a chicken breast, a sausage, gammon steak, which was somewhat like bacon, and a ribeye steak. On the last day in Edinburgh I bought a flute… Continue reading Leaving Edinburgh
