My Holiday

Right now, it is 12:32 a.m. in the morning, and I am writing this, sitting, perfectly wide-awake and grinning from ear to ear.
Okay, this just sounds like a whole load of cringy rubbish but... sorry.
Shall we begin?
I'm ready!
Let's do it!
...
It is four or five something p.m. in Germany at the moment, so you can say that I've still about six hours before I'll really feel tired. XD!

It had taken us fourteen minutes hours to travel to Doha, after which a plane took us all the way to Berlin; and that was six hours.
Of course, you all shall know, if you live in Australia or pretty much a million hundred miles from anywhere that there are small televisions on the back of everyone's seat, so I could watch movies and play games all I liked. Cool. But the food - ughh, so many calories -!- and just to think that I tried eating healthy on my trip!

We (my parents and me) spent three night in Berlin, and, even if it's my second time being there, I can't sat that I'd like to live there, just because it feels somewhat harsh and... oh, no, it's just not "homely" enough for me.
However, negatives aside - the cafes were lovely! And all the main attractions - fancy, I say!

The rest of the thirteen-day trip we spent in Munich, and I loved it even more than the last five times that I've been there, I'm sure. Just going to Baden-Baden (spas & pools) was so relaxing, and it really punctuated my trip with strips of happiness when I met up with my father's parents, who showed us four of Ludwig the second's castles!
Personally, I liked Linderhof best of the three he had built, plus the one that he was born in, which really is rather a "slightly poorer" place, for I fancy that Maximilian did not really care for the embroidery and jewelry and paintings - oh, no, sorry, he loved painting! - and just the magnificent statues as his eldest son did. Even so, before Ludwig died, he was said to be "a little out of his mind". I don't believe it.

This may seem very short, or it may seem very long a review on my trip, but no matter!
