With the help of the coldness in Mummelsee Lake, I successfully caught a cold. My tongue was sore and red all over when I woke up the next morning. But nothing could stop me from enjoying this journey. I even got up on time to finish my daily English learning. Thanks to the power of team spirit. If I failed to finish my daily homework, cheap fake oakleys, the whole team would be deprived of the team rewards. My teammates all showed great support and understanding, however, I can’t bear to drag them behind.
Back to the journey, on the third day we would visit Freiberg in Germany and Spiez in Switzerland. Comparing to big cities, I preferred more to small European Towns. Freiberg is another university town and has been placed under heritage conservation. An old saying goes around here: “There are only two kinds of people in the world. One is those who live in Freiberg and the other is those who want to live there. How proud are Freiberg people about this place! Certainly there they have things to boast about.
I’ve visited Churches before, but none of them could give me such sacred feelings like Freiberg Cathedral. As soon as I stepped inside, I was immediately wrapped tightly up in a holy atmosphere. I am not a religious person, but at that moment, cheap
snapback hats, I did feel something sacred and untouchable in the air. Cameras couldn’t catch the beauty and sanctity of this place.
Like Heidelberg, Freiberg University also scattered in the town. We even found Confucius Academy in an alley! Like many other University Towns, nothing bustle and bustle there. In front of a University Building, students sitting here and there, talking, joking as if they have the whole world in their hands. I sat down, posing like I were one of them. How I missed those times when I was still a young, innocent girl with all those silly dreams. Time had just filed by.
In the afternoon, cheap oakleys, we arrived at Speiz---known as the most beautiful town in the world. Beautiful is not enough to describe this small town. Every house, every yard, every ship, even every rock can slip into a good painting and become an inseparable part of it. Perhaps that is the paradise on earth. However, this paradise belongs only to the rich, and we are nothing but its transient guests. Everything in Switzerland has a tag named EXPENSIVE to it. 7 Euro for a Coke, 20 Euro for a fast meal…. Even hotel charged us extra 38 Euro per night for our son---same double room, no extra bed provided—In fact I really don’t know what 38 Euro is for. The receptionist told us that was cleaning fee for one extra person----Okey, you win. Anyway,cheap
jerseys, one thing to remember: In Switzerland, never convert Euro to RMB in your mind.

Trip to Europe: Alps, we were coming!
As one of the must-visit places in Switzerland, Alps Mountains easily stirred many old memories of mine. When I was a kid, Heidi happened to be my favorite TV series. I’ve learned a lot about Alps Mountains from this show. But at that time Alps seemed to be so far away that I never thought, cheap nfl jerseys, even in my dreams, that one day I could actually visit this place.
We got up early and took a train up to the mountains. The train made a round trip and you could get off at whatever shop you want. In any tourist attractions of Europe, no matter how hot it is, you never need to worry about being over-crowded. Besides the reason that they have less population, the most important cause is that European has really put efforts on environment protection. We heard that day when we were visiting Alps, they were already restricting the number of train tickets. However, from our point of view, the tourists here were far from being crowded, not even close to being enough.
A ringing bell, like a cheerful and light song, echoed over the mountains. We soon found the sources. Every sheep and cow here has a beautiful bell hanging around their necks. When they moved, cheap hats, the wind would carry the sound of bell all over the mountains. That’s the most beautiful and natural song I’d never heard of. The animals here are very tame. When someone approaches, none of them show a slight trace of fear. Sometimes they even take a trip along the trail, and at that time the train would stop and wait for them passing by.
Alps, like the one in my memory, gradually presented its unique charms to us. Either the wooden cabinet scattering along the mountains, or the fairy-like lake at halfway, or that cooperating cow always posed in front of the camera, had gifted us with unforgettable memories. However, the strongest, the most powerful and heartquake images holds in its peak. It’s like watching a Hollywood movie but all were real. For a moment, I could not tell where was the sky, where was the cloud and where was the snow! Everything blended together naturally. Two kids had also a great time there, wholesale jerseys, they skied, they played with ice, they screamed with joys. Alps, finally we were coming!

Do not do evil things though they may be tiny
I think it is universally acknowledged that s good character is the best policy. However, it is sad to see that incidents of a moral issue still happen in daily life.
Recently, I heard about an annoying thing from a friend. She told me about her friend X. X is a friendly girl, cheap oakley sunglasses, but unfortunately she has a roommate named R. One day, X occasionally found that her bank account had lost 300 RMB, which she certainly didn't spend. What is stranger is that she did not receive the bank's deductions message. Thus X asked the customer service staff of Alipay for help. Finally the staff found it is R, through following the trail of the receiver.What a surprising news!
I really went out to X for her misfortune. At the same time, I am indignant at R's mean action, which is not an entirely moral behavior, neither one of respecting the law. As the satirical saying put it, 'Penny wise, pound foolish', R may get what she wants temporally,cheap nfl jerseys, but she has lost a best friend permanently. It is, therefore, my sincere hope that we do not do evil things though they may be tiny. One good turn deserves another. Wish everyone can be a person of excellent character.

Palm Cove-- a gateway to Great Barrier Reef
I enjoyed Palm Cove, nice and warm in Australian winter.
Palm Cove is a great place to stay if you travel around Great Barrier Reef Area for a couple of weeks.
It takes 20 minutes’ driving to Cairns, 1 hour away from Port Douglas, which is the township of Daintree National Park, cheap jerseys, the most popular rainforest tourist spot mainly visited by westerners.
In Palm Cove, there are heaps of cafes, restaurants with spectacular sea view and tropical trees in front, mountains far away.
Well, on my daughter’s birthday, we had a very nice dinner night out at Vivo, it is said one of the best at palm cove.
Public transport is also available to cairns for a day trip.
Our accommodation was very close to the beach and the main street where the most restaurants were.
Here I would like talk about self-service apartment, I know, this is very common for Aussies.
But in China, whenever we travel, we used to rent a hotel where the cooking facilities are not available.
After I arrived self-service apartment in Palm Cove, I couldn’t help smiling “Wow,it’s soooo beautiful!!!”
The tropical palm trees were just in front of the balcony,cheap snapback hats, which looked exactly like a picture.
I was fascinated as this was the first time I have ever experienced massive Tropical trees.
Usually, we had one western meal in a restaurant, eg, Italian pizza, spaghetti , beef, steak, lamb, garlic prawn , seafood etc.
as a seaside city, fish & chips is highly recommended for its freshness.
For dinner, most restaurants in Palm Cove should be booked in advance; otherwise you might have to wait for a while.
Brunch is all right, seats are available everywhere.
Meanwhile, we also cooked at least one Chinese meal at the apartment
Beef, lamb, chicken, seafood, bacon, sausages are almost the same price as in Melbourne.
Veggies were expensive compared to the ones I used to buy at Queen Vic Market, Melbourne. Almost all kinds of veggies were over AUD 5/kilo.
It was limited, most time we had potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cauliflowers, cucumbers, mushrooms,fake oakley sunglasses, frozen corn ( which seems cheap) etc.
That’s the problem, every time I travelled around Australia; I realized how lucky my Melbourne home as it was so close to Queen Vic Market where all the Asian Green leave veggies could be easily found at a reasonable price.
Australia is a very lucky country, free BBQ facilities can be accessed everywhere.
We bought our BBQ stuff at Coles beforehand.
It was a raining day, but it didn’t stop us having BBQ Lunch outside.
Sitting under the shed, we were enjoying the brilliant sea view, watching people sitting at the restaurants and dog lovers walked passing by.
Cooking while eating, what a relaxing day!!!!
Every night, we discussed: “Tomorrow, we must get up early to watch sunrise and take photos.”
But I am not a morning person at all as I get up no earlier than 7:20 every morning and my family come from China, where is 2 hours later than Melbourne, so you can imagine.
Getting up at 6:00 am, watching the sunrise would be a miracle to us.
No, no, no, in the end, we could never make this happen once within 9 days.
Time went so fast, at the last day, wholesale jerseys, we decided to have a nice Brunch at Chill Café before leaving.
It was such a beautiful sunny day; the café shop was surrounded by the best scenery, which was like in the paradise.
We shared salt and pepper calamari, fish & chips, pumpkin & feta salad and wraps.
“The iced coffee was the best” My brother said.
I was really happy when a young pretty girl told me that she loved my clothes.
“Wow, you made my day.” I loved to hear that.
In a while, my mobile was ringing: “Hey,cheap mlb hats, please come here, someone’s having wedding at the beach.”
Wasn’t it in the movie or in my dream? Simply I didn’t wanna leave.
