Part 12: GERMANY.
Vanzilla 2.0 was flying over Northern Central Europe. I was on my computer doing a video call with Mom and Dad.
Me: So we're on our way to North Central Europe and we're learning so much about all of the world. We've been to Africa and we're not done with Europe yet.
Patti: It sounds like you're having a lot of fun.
Me: We are mom. It's all an amazing adventure so far.
Sumner: We're proud of you son. You stay safe with everyone.
Me: I will dad. I love you guys.
Patti: We love you too.
Me: Thanks. Bye.
The call clicked off.
Nicole: We're here guys. Welcome to Germany.
We landed in Berlin, Germany.
Me: Germany is an awesome place guys. It's home to some of the most delicious sausage in the world. And it's also home to the annual Oktoberfest. Lots of people in Germany drink lots of beer and get drunk like crazy and there's lots of great dancing and fun stuff and great food.
Lincoln: The sausage I could go for but not the beer.
Lori: Me too.
Luna: Same here dudes.
Rita: We've had lots of sausage here in Germany on our honeymoon J.D.
Me: I've been here before Ms. Rita. The sausage here is amazing.
Lynn Sr.: That's awesome J.D.
Jessie K: Germany has lots of history guys.
Natilee: It sure does.
Nicole: You'll love our first stop guys.
We arrived in Bavaria and we were at Neuschwanstein Castle.
Nicole: This is Neuschwanstein Castle. One of Germany's most famous castles.
Lincoln: Whoa! So this is Neuschwanstein Castle.
Linka: It's breathtaking.
Jessie K: Neuschwanstein Castle was built back in 1886 and is one of the most beautiful castles in the world. It was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and in honor of Richard Wagner.
Natilee: It's amazing. This castle is 131 years old and it's in amazing shape.
Luan: It sure is. It's a Castle of a good time. (Laughs to Rimshot) Get it?
Most of us laugh while everyone else groaned.
Me: (Laughs) That was a good one Luan.
Raven: (Laughs) Castle of a good time. I just got it.
Lynn Sr.: (Laughs) Good one.
We went inside the castle and it was an amazing sight to behold.
Lola: This castle is amazing!
Laney: It sure is. The architecture and the paintings are magnificent.
Lisa: Indeed.
Lucy: It's not a castle for vampires but it's a beautiful castle.
Me: This castle is one of Germany's treasures guys. It's part of its history too.
Lori: It literally is a work of art.
We took lots of photos and pictures.
Next we were at the sight of the old Brandenburg Gate.
Luna: Whoa. That's the Brandenburg Gate!
Me: That's right Luna. This is one of Germany's historical sights.
Jessie K: That's right dad. It has lots of history behind it. It was built as a barrier that divided Germany into Eastern and Western sides. In 1989 the Brandenburg Gate was demolished and it made Germany into one country.
Naruto: That's amazing.
Sakura: It sure is.
Fu: What's that statue on the top of the gate?
Me: That's the Quadriga. It's a four horse chariot and it's a very prominent symbol here.
Laney: It's amazing.
We were at a restaurant eating all kinds of sausages and it was good stuff.
