My experience in Germany.

I got to experience something great! Viviana Baatz and her family took me to see a fireworks display the same day we landed and there the firework people were asking who came from the farthest and Arkansas beat England! The prize? Getting to set off an amazing and huge fireworks display. Vivi and I pressed two batons at the same time that shot out sparks and quickly got to safety to watch.

Sunday, swam at a lake. I was so tired though that i just layed out with Sarah in the shade and dozed slightly but it was a nice relaxing time. The price surprised me, goodness. There was a little section to swim and then a much bigger body of water to wake boared on ropes.

Went on a bike tour around Berlin and saw many fun places! "The Ramones" treated me well and was decked out with a lovely bee squeaky toy. After the bike ride, we went out for some famed currywurst before hiking up a hill to view Berlin from a higher point and then stopped by Vivi's workplace for some delicious ice cream! I indulged in a baileys one hehe and we were surprised by delicious strawberries soaked in alcohol and poured over in a glass with champagne and water. Yum!

Went to the Reichstag building on Tuesday last week and viewed their Parliament section before climbing up to take a view from the top. Tried my best not to fall asleep while the lady rattled on but sadly i must confess. I think i did. Oops. But, I definitely enjoyed the tippy top of the ramp!

On Wednesday last week, we went to the story of Berlin after a tour through a bunker. Goodness me, I'm glad I wasn't born in that time. The bunker was actually bigger then I expected but I feel like I missed out on a lot of things that the tour guide just walked by. Which is a big part of why I don't like guided tours.

Thursday was the Sachsenhausen concentration camp where we viewed a barrack and a jail. The barracks ceiling was pealing and the insides were tight. It was not how i imagined it would be though. there was actually a lot more room. The jail had a row of damp dark rooms with diferent interiors the showed that some inmates actually had it slightly better then another.

On Saturday we went to Dresden! It was very beautiful with old buildings. Sadly, i was too cold on the tour boat that I eventually went inside and of course it decides to pour literally right when we get off the plank. But, walking around the city was so fun and I got plenty of pictures!

Went to a haunted house in a bunker on Sunday! I don't suggest going in groups and being in the back. Safety hazard! Sarah and I got back duty of a surprisingly large group  and when they all back up, watch out! The kids in front designated their poor mother as the scouter and she was going through all the rooms yet she wasn´t scared until she came back and the scarer ran out at all of us. That clever person.

Monday, Sarah and I went to Sky's hosts house and enjoyed some nice time hanging out and watching a movie and some videos which was so amazing to do. We heard all the fireworks and horns as well that we learned celebrates a goal for Germany during the world cup. Maybe it´s whenever they play but it´s still quite amazing.

Tuesday, we went to a maximum security prison and goodness me it was secure. Not secure enought to be known for taking peoploe off the streets to replace escaped prisoners. Only slightly worrying.

Wednesday, we traveled to Potsdam and split up for food and we finally got some sushi! So delicious i swear. We then walked through paths on a royal ground on our way to a tour of a place in which we saw wonderfull artwork. We all chuckled at the sudden pop art at the end of the tour. Sadly I have no pictures of the inside because €3 is stingy. 

Today we are viewing the inside of the olympic stadium. Tomorrow is a bar-b-que at school. and we have a game on saturday!
