Well, its a bit late, but I just wanted to send out a quick thank you for everyone who helped out on this trip.
For starters, we will NEVER EVER rent an RV again! This was the most stressful trip ever....I love stress and trips, but this was ridiculous!
Here is super quick recap of what happened then I will do a brief review of what parks we did complete....
Two hours after we arrive, we drove our RV under a house in Cochem, Germany....thanks to our GPS which thought we were a car! We figured out that in order to use the outlets in the RV, the RV needed to be plugged in from an outside source. That meant we never had battery power to charge our cameras! Showers were very minimal. We kicked (she left on her own free will) the girl off the trip halfway thru. The exchange rate was alot worse than we thought!

Cancelled Schwaben, came back to Phantasialand for a few hours in the morning, then headed to Holiday Park for some Expedition GeForce......uggh...one train operation....why?

Did Tripsdrill this morning, really liked the park, very HOT, but wierd operations....they opened rides at different times. Skyline was next...Loved it! Cute little park, really liked the X coaster and their wierd little drop and bounce tower. Headed to legoland to close out the night. Fun park...thank God for a night ticket.
Sun Aug 5 Europa Park and Fantastic Cable in Gerdemer, France, Mulhouse Fun Fair
Stress started to set in....Made it to Fantastic Cable....took forever in the FOG and MOUNTAINS of France. Loved the Zipline! It was sooo much fun. Headed back to Europa Park and closed the night out there. Never made it to Mulhouse....Too tired and stressed.
Mon Aug 6 Toverland, Movie Park Germany and Herne Fun Fair
Toverland was fun, loved Troy..had extra time so we added Shlossbeck before heading to Movie Park. Wasnt looking forward to this park at all, but we really loved it! Off to the Herne fair!!!! Holy Shit this fair was AMAZING! It had some great flat rides! Rode Eurostar....ummmm....nevermind

boomerang since everything else was closed. Oh well. Next.
Fri Aug 10 Liseberg
More Stress.....the girl left our trip this day, so we really couldnt enjoy Liseberg as much! Balder was memorable at best.

Skipped Parken Zoo, and spent the whole day at Gronalund! Loved this park, the city, everything. Some lame boy band was playing that day. (we used the song they sang in one of our videos)

Loved thunderbird....in the rain, we rode this coaster over and over again! Never got to do the go carts due to the rain.
Mon Aug 13 Linnamaki and Sarkenemimi
Really liked Kirnu, and Kieppi....insane flat ride! As for Sarkenemimi.....ehhh, I thought that the

corkscrew and the Scwarzkoph....lame!
