Europa Park – the whole reason for our trip to the south of Germany. Hailed as one of the best theme parks in Europe, people saying it was one of the must visit places for teens – we had finally arrived on our final proper day of our holiday. Unfortunately for Europa Park they had … Read more
If you have been following our Road Trip to Germany so far you will know that we ate chocolate and waffles in Brussels and Wurst in Frankfurt so of course we needed to visit the Black Forest – for Gateau! One of the reasons we went to visit the Black Forest was to visit a … Read more
