Today started day 1 of our time in Germany, it also was the first day in over two weeks we got to sleep later than 7am. We woke up at 10am today and yes it was fabulous besides that fact that Gail was sick with the flu. Thank you Aaron for blinds that shut out the sun and for the medicines that made me better!  We were completely spoilt and went downstairs and had breakfast, the yummiest rolls with ham, cheese, cucumber and tomato... best breakfast we have had in about a week. So thanks for that to Aaron. After breakfast was done we chatted a little and messed about on the internet booking hostels and things for the rest of the trip to come. It was great to have the internet on call boy ... read more

With the weather getting nicer and my time getting shorter I have been trying to take advantage of every weekend and every event. During one of the nicer weekends in early May I made a plan with a friend in Bonn to go hiking. We took a train along the Rheine to a town called Königswinter where there is a beautiful castle and gorgeous hiking paths. The town is right along the river and a castle is located up the hill called Drachenburg or Dragon Fort. We hiked up and enjoyed the amazing views of Bonn and the surrounding landscapes. We enjoyed the nice weather and had a picnic and then hiked back down the hill to the town. After getting back to Bonn we had ice cream and watched the end of a marathon in ... read more

Yesterday my Rotary counselor came to get me early in the morning to go for our Inboud meeting in Königswinter with all the inbounds of our district. The inbounds are the exchange students from Rotary which are in the host country. I didn't even get a chance to have breakfeast since I was waithing for it to be ready my host mom had prepared bread and other stuff but I didn't get the chance to eat and I had to go. We then both went to get the other exchange student in my town and met up with two more and their counselors at some rest area outside of town. One is a girl from USA and a boy from Equator. They both seem really nice and are really close to where I live so that's ... read more

This afternoon My host family and I plus some friends went to the Dragon's rock. It's a mountain with the legion with a dragon I#m not too sure how it goes but It has something to do with once one would take a bath in the dragons blood it would make them invinsible so that#s what happened with a man but turn's out there was a leaf in his back and he got killed anyway. It's confusing I know but I#m not to sure how it goes anyways going up the mountain the oldest mountain railway in Germany is there built around 1883 there is also a lovely castle halfway up the mountain and at the top are the ruins of the gothic Drachenburg. The day was pretty fun we went up the mountain. I#m telling ... read more

Shared a ride to Bonn and spent a lovely few days with Judith. We stayed in her beautiful little village just outside of Bonn with her Mom, a teacher, and two brothers, who are sixteen and twelve. Her father lives just up the road. I descended upon them just as school was starting but all of them were so gracious and warm. Spent one evening in watching movies and with Judith and two friends of hers who are a couple. Judith is 19 and about to go off to university to study photography and advertizing. We met last winter in London when I was there studying theatre and she was working there as a nanny (sorry neither I or my spell check know how to spell “ow-pair”). One evening while I was there I saw a ... read more

So its been just over a week since I have been alone traveling in Germany. The rest of the day of the 6th was an easy day. Pepe (from Spain/Cataluna, Barcilona) from the work camp came back to Dresden for the evening and stayed at Stephans. We hung out in the park and had a beer before we ran into Stephan on the walk home. He gave us a lift the rest of the way and the rest of the evening we spent hanging out at the flat, talking with his house mates. Pepe had to get up at 05:30 to make sure he got to the airport at 08:00. There was a museum that I wanted to see so I woke up early as well and got a good spot in line to see if ... read more
