Neuschwanstein

 A magical castle. 

 

Some students from Cartagena had come for an exchange that would only last a week and had a program of planed trips that they were going to do, wich lead the teachers that organized the program to invite us.  

The first one of this series of trips was to a beautiful castle named Neuschwanstein. 

We had both a long drive by bus, and a very long and tiring hike up a mountain to get to the castle. But it was worth it because once we were there they took us to a bridge where you could see the castle from afar and after that we had a guided tour inside. 

We learned that the king that lived there really liked swans but that he didn’t get the chance to enjoy his castle before he was declared crazy and found dead not long after.

Berlin

  T rip to Berlin .     We were given two weeks off school for Easter.      Emma’s sister, Martha, had left on a four-day trip because she had to play some handball matches and so Kathrin and Thomas decided to take me to Berlin.     We took a four hour-long high-speed train to get there. The view outside of the train was really great which really helped make the journey less boring.     The first day after we arrived and checked-in in the hotel where we were staying we took a really long walk around the city and had currywursts for lunch.     In case you don’t know what, these are, they’re simply sausages with very nice curry and are very well known in Berlin.     We went to the parliament and went all the way up to a terrace to enjoy the view. I love d it.

Walking with penguins

  Week program .     On tuesday we went on a walk that could have easy led to Shrek’s swamp of how muddy and flooded it was (we had to take another way because of it) .     We also took a walk on the beach. THAT was great.     They gave us rain boots and explained that the sand might make us sink a bit...That was not a bit.     Rebeca had to pull me out of a hole multiple times and at some point, we started laghing becasue we discovered we were uncapable of jumping because our shoes were buried in sand. Everyo ne just looked like an awkward penguin trying to walk.     Best two hours ever.

  Harry Potter Party .     Emma arrived the day right before her birthday. We obviusly celebrated her birthday, but then with the help of her sister and her cousin, Olivia, we all prepared her big birthday party.     The theme was Harry Potter and everyone had to dress up for the occasion as one of the characters . We made all kinds of decorations that then took forever to put up, but it was totallly worth it. It looked awesome .     The day of the party we dressed up, I was Sirius Black and we just had a lot of fun and good food during that whole day .
