On our final weekend of the program, we were all excited to get one last adventure in! We broke up into smaller groups to hit cities all over Europe. We had groups representing Mizzou in 7 different countries this weekend! We hit the major European cities of Rome, Prague, Munich, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Interlaken, and Mykonos to make our own final memories!
As everyone says, you haven’t been to Italy unless you have seen Rome! The group that traveled here had a great time taking tours of The Vatican City as well as the Coliseum and hanging out with locals and tourists on the Spanish Steps.
Despite the less than perfect weather, the group in Prague was excited to get out and explore the city. They hit the major points of the city such as the clock tower, Prague Castle, Prague Museum and St. Charles Bridge and embraced the Prague nightlife.
The city of Munich provided a range of activities and adventures. Here, the group toured Dachau Concentration Camp which was an eye opening and moving experience. They also hit the local Beer Gardens to embrace to German culture and big soft pretzels!
In the beautiful city of Amsterdam, the group toured the home of Anne Frank as well as the Van Gough museum. The “Heineken Experience” was a fun tour the group took of the Heineken Brewery that was named as a “must see” by students who previously visited the city!
One lucky student was able to celebrate her birthday in the wonderful city of Paris under the sparkling lights of the Eifel Tower! The group hit all of the points of interest in the city such as the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Arc de Triomphe which all added up to a wonderful time for everyone.
Finally, one very brave group spent the weekend in Interlaken, Switzerland… the extreme sport center of Europe! They took in the beautiful scenery of the Swiss Alps while falling 15,000 feet from airplanes!
We are all now sharing stories and pictures of our adventures with one another as we head into our last week in Bergamo.
