Sausheim, France - 14th July 2008
By: Marjolein
Dear mum,
Today was a traveling day. I am in France now, just over the bourder with Germany. Our hotel is very good, the bed nice and soft, and there is a swimming pool! Too bad it is too cold to swim. And because we are soooooo tired, we just went to sleep!
Apart from the nice bed, the view from the window wasn't all that.
We had a nice diner, a good night sleep, and after breakfast it was time to really go to Italy!

Lido di Jesolo, Italy - 23rd July 2008
By: Marjolein
In the evening after our trip to Venice we took a little walk down the beach near our hotel. I saw the Adriatic Sea in Venice but now I also got to touch it!
Tomorrow it's time to go back to The Netherlands. We will sleep in Germany the next night and by friday we are back in Den Bosch. The trip to Italy was so cool! I certainly want to go back
I hope you enjoyed the updates!
Love Pingu
