Trip to Wernigerode

Trip to Wernigerode by Tanja, Minttu and Kaisa.

November 17.-21.2008

Monday: We went to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport at 7:40 am.

There we met our teachers and went to Germany by plane.

When we got to Germany everything felt strange because everybody talked German.

In Berlin we went to the central railway station and from there we went by train to Wernigerode.

When we got there we met our host families. After that we went to the house.

And later that night we met Minttu and Niclas, we went to cafeteria.

Tuesday: We woke up really early and then we went to Wolfsburg by bus.

In Wolfsburg was a town called Autostad. It was really cool in there, there were many cool cars and many other things. Me Tanja, and Kaisa went to by some coffee and it was really good if you put there three spoons of sugar and half cup of milk.

In Autostad we went inside of the car factory by minibus, it was really cool because you can go there only if you buy a new car.

After that we went to Phaeno that was science museum. It was great in there, there were all kinds of cool science things. After that we went home. Later in the evening we went to play pool(billiard).

Wednesday: We woke up a little later that Tuesday. After that we went to their school.

Their school was really beautiful, it was really big. At their school we did poetry.

After that we got en exercise to write different things about Wernigerode. Niclas Josi and Sylvi went to the town hall and we waited outside. After that everybody went home, and after we ate we went shopping. I bought things for me and my friends. Later that evening we went bowling.

That was very cool, I was a little nervous because many people was looking and I didn’t get the strike. But it was a nice day. Later that evening I called my friends and we talked about how was it like in Germany.

Thursday: We had to go to the mountains called Brocken.

But me and Sylvia went to the wrong train station and missed the train.

We didn’t know what to do so we went by bus to big shopping center, I bought there all kinds of stuff. When we got back we went to the big castle. There was great view and we thought about what was it like at Brocken, when it was raining and all…

Minttu and Kaisa were on the Brocken and it was not that nice. They really didn’t like it because it was cold and it was a very long way to the top. So we went back home and we ate there and all. After that we went to some bar and drank soda there. After that we went to some park and just “hang out”

Friday: We woke up early and packed our stuff and went to the train station.

We said goodbye to everybody and left. When we were on the train it started to snow. When we were in Berlin we went to some Shopping centre. After that we went to airport and flew to Finland. When we were in Finland we went home.
