I'm coming home

Now it's time to go again.. We're already at the Düsseldorf airport at gate B27 waiting for our flight that leaves at 8:20 am german time.. The mood is good and although we feel tired, we remain cheerful.

Yesterday we had a lot to do so we didn't have time to write here. We are going to make a bigger update on the blog once we get back home, though.

25.10. Samstag

We started the day with a good breakfast at Finca and continued to beautiful Villa Hügel, the house of Krupp -family. After that we headed to the centre of Essen, where we had a chance to go shopping and oh we did, mostly in huge Primark! After shopping we all went bowling together. Some of us, including me and my host, bowled only for an hour while some of the group continued bowling. Because we didn't have to go home yet, we decided to do shopping a little bit more! After that we came home and played with xbox and wathed tv with parents!

It has been a really fun and active day, but most of the pictures are in my camera, but here's a few pictures that I took with my phone!

Gute Nacht!

Everything that's been going on lately

 We had a lottery at school to support our trip fund. Here is a picture of our group handing out the prizes to the lucky winners.

We also skyped with our German hosts. We talked about the trip and its program. Now we have heard each other's voices and the trip is starting to feel a lot more real.
