Back to Life, Back to Reality

August 17th: After the Anne Frank Haus, I took a bus to the countryside to a town called Volendam just to see one of the many windmills Holland is known for. The change of scenery was wonderful and the weather was perfect! I then went back to Amsterdam an boarded a Eurolines bus back to Berlin. Like nearly all of my travel experiences, this was harrowing as I made my bus by three minutes (hey... Why change now!)!

After a nine-hour miserable bus ride, I was back in Berlin and this almost felt like home! Yet, of course I could not stay in one place for long, so I then decided to go to Dresden for my final adventure. Now, I wish I could say it was the greatest city ever or the coolest thing I did in Europe, but, to be honest, I wish I hadn't gone. This isn't because Dresden is a bad city or anything; I think I was just tired and actually ready to go home! After two hours in Dresden, I boarded a bus and came back to Berlin, where I am spending one last night out and at an awesome hostel called Main Station Hostel, the same one I stayed at when I first arrived! My journey has come full circle!
