sooo the Luums orchestra decided to go on tour to Germany!! we stayed for about 6 days, except for the all that travelling time. i think we spend about 30 hours on a coach if my math is somewhat alright.

Day 1

so we left parkinson steps and drove to the Dover ferry...about 7 hours. we got onto the ferry and it was about 2 hours to france. then we got back on the coach in france and drove for another bloody 12 hours to get to germany. it was horrible!!! the seats were so squishy and it was over night too....and i didn't bring any pillow or anything!....being the most prepared person on the trip. HA roight


Day 2
so when we finally got there we chilled around our hostel for a bit and went into town to look around. we saw a wasserfall! apparently the tallest in germany.

here's a walkway towards it


that's me and annemie on our way up! (p.s. she's a greaAATT cellist)


a bit of the view of the wasserfall


annemie, carine, and matt by the waterfall




we got so far up it was a beautiful view of the tiny city


later at night we chilled in a bar
that's me, henry, and oli


annemie, carine, and jo

day 4

the next morning we woke up extra early so that we could go to the furtenburg brewery. being hung over and all, i just wanted to be sick. and we were surrounded by beer. big cans, little cans, colourful cans. *puke*





that's a lot of beer




by the afternoon i was ready for another pint at the brewery. i felt much better after that. it was quite refreshing.


so we did more exploring and found this momento thingie with the instruments that each of us played!!!


then we went to a lake


and then we played our second concert outdoors by the lake


after the concert we rushed to a bar to watch the football. it was sweden vs. england.


day 5

we went to the euro theme park! and their rollercoasters sucked hairy balls! but we hada chance to go on the biggest one twice.








then we were walkinng through la la land




that's lawrence and me


random entertainers


then we played our last concert.


and off to the pub we go. except it was a dinner restaurant pub. yum
