Italia.

The final place, and the place I stayed in longest was Italy! I went to Venice, Verona, Gardaland,
Lake Garda and our hotel was in Sirmione. Just a heads up that this post will be pretty picture heavy!

Generally, I wouldn't say that I'm a roller coaster person, but Gardaland definitely had a lot to offer to everyone of all levels and the atmosphere throughout the place is amazing! 

Sermione 

I would defiantly go back to Sirmione. It's so pretty and there is so many cute shops and amazing Gelato to try.

Venice 

Although I loved Venice, I don't think it is somewhere I would stay for more than 3/4 days. I knew it was a very popular tourist place to go but I didn't think it would have been to that extent! However it was beautiful to look at! 

Julie's house Verona 

Not having a full day to visit Verona was the only thing I didn't enjoy about the trip. Our flight was the same day so we were only there for a few hours. We visited Juliets house based on Shakespeare's Romeo& Juliet. It was also one of like 3 walls that was covered in signatures along with another wall with locks on it. The post box was used to send letters to 'Juliet' !

Austria.

This is the second post in a three part series on my trip to Germany, Austria and Italia!

We visited Salzburg while in Austria and got to visit the house in which Mozart grew up in, the place where the sound of music was filmed and Neuschanstein Castle. The views from all around Austria are truly stunning.they make any bus journey so much easier.

Deutschland.

Just sprucing things up on the blog by adding a sort of travel post. Last week I visited Germany, Austria and Italy. Traveling around by bus and sight seeing in each city. I'm hoping to get three separate posts up on each country, just giving you guys an insight into some of the most historic places, and maybe give you some ideas or advice on what to visit if you're heading there any time soon!

The first place we visited was Munich. I'd never been to Germany before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. We had an early flight so we landed around midday. Upon arrival, we went straight to Dachau concentration camp. Being a bit of a history advocate, the minute I heard we were going here I got excited, and it was one the places I was looking forward to the most. My parents had been to  Aushwitz before so after hearing first hand from them I was definitely interesting in visiting a concentration camp myself.

Dachau was the very first Nazi concentration camp, built by Heinrich Himmler in 1933. It held more than 200,000 prisoners and 21,531 were reported killed here. In 1933 Munich had 10,000 Jews. Only 200 survived the war.

Overall the experience in the concentration camp was pretty harrowing. The fact that something like that happened less than 70 years ago adds to its surrealism. Dachau was also one of the camps that participated in the "experiments" whereby they would  test the prisoners body's on situations that soldiers were in , to see  how the body reacts.Visiting any concentration camp is something I would recommend to anyone. It's certainly a sobering experience.

The next place we visited was Munich City centre. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived many of the shops were closed but the scenery was amazing. The little coffee shops and restaurants were so cute and the architecture was fab.
