The famous Omaha beach where so many lost their lives
This was the american cemetary. Few days later, Barack visited
Me perving on the american soldiers hehe It was amazing at how many people were there to pay their respects on the 65th anniversary of D-Day. And not only that, they shipped out their military jeeps so all these people were driving around in them, american british and canadian flags were hung up everywhere, people were dressed up in the style of the 1940's. It was unreal

Eiffel Tower at Night. Wonderful
The lovely Mona Lisa. Awesome painting but why is she so famous? Hmmmmm
Inside the Louvre pyramid
Dr. A recommended an ice-cream place. We got there 10mins before it closed on our last night in Paris. Phewwwww. It was some of the best ice-cream ever. Vanilla and pistacchio flavours. YUMMMMM

Onto Munich
As sports nuts (well one of us) we went and saw the 1972 Olympic Stadium whic was cool. Then we went and saw the apartments where those athletes were killed
Now this is what you call a Beer Garden. A massive park and massive area where peole were going nuts with their 1litre beers and this was a chinese type house where an authentic german band was playing
Yummmmm. The land where beer is cheaper than a lemonade hehe
Some authentic german cuisine

Berlin was next. A very intriguing city
Checkpoint Charlie
The famous Berlin Wall. What a horrible part of history
These stones go along Berlin streets to show where the wall used to be. It was strange to see
