Afterward, at Kiyomizu-dera, she took part in a tea ceremony where she sipped and bathed in quiet as the falling leaves reflected in the temple pool. This strengthened and prepared her, as it should be, for the peaceful beauty/tranquility and richness of culture that awaited her in Kyoto, excellent beginning to her journey.

Thereafter she took a hot air balloon ride over the Green Mountains to get a bird's eye view of the flaming foliage below.
3. Bavaria, Germany: Fairy-Tale Castles and Oktoberfest
The scenery of Bavaria read like something out of fairy tales. With the Alps in autumn, Sarah visited Neuschwanstein Castle with dramatically reaching turrets into the sky.

Afternoons spent in cozy pubs, warming by the fire with a cup of tea, completed her idyllic experience.
5. Quebec City, Canada—Savoring the Taste of Europe in North America
Literally a landing in Europe, the arrival in Quebec City was no different from stepping into a European postcard. Sarah strolled along streets paved with rounded cobblestones in Old Quebec, where historic buildings stood framed by the fall foliage that had exploded into colorful splashes. Further down the road, she saw Montmorency Falls and spent a moment in awe over the mighty cascade surrounded by intensely hued trees. Her heart was enchanted by that rich history and the festivity during harvest time.

Closer to Scotland's rich history and wild beauty, she experienced exploring ancient castles and enjoying a warm whisky in a traditional pub.
