Day 1: Monday 6th June

We eventually arrived in Germany after a delayed flight (extra time to shop for me!!!). At 10:30pm, we came to the school where we were greeted by our host families. My partner for the week was a girl called Lena.

Day 2: Tuesday 7th June

As German children start school at 7:45am, we had to wake up REALLY early (5:45 our time!). We went into school with our partners and stayed with them until it was lunch. However, before we left to eat (children in Germany get to leave the school premises at lunch), we went to the Bad Wurzach town hall and met the town's mayor, who told us some of the town's history.

After lunch, we headed to a bakery to learn how to make traditional German pretzels.

Day 3: Wednesday 8th June

After another early start, we met at school to go to Munich. After a 2 hour bus ride, we arrived. Munich was extremely beautiful, although the weather was not!  After strolling through the historical streets, we boarded the bus once again to go to the Allianz Arena! We were lucky enough to have a backstage tour where we saw the press conference room, pitch and locker rooms! As my brother LOVES BIA Munich, I bought him a training top and water bottle.

Day 4: Thursday 9th June

On Thursday, we went to the historic city of Ulm where we climbed the biggest steeple in the world. Although I am terrified of heights, I am glad I did it as the views were breathtaking (once I got my breath!). Afterwards we went to an AWESOME water park.

Day 5: Friday 10th June

On our penultimate day in Germany, we went to the beautiful town of Lindau. Lindau is surrounded by a sapphire-blue lake which shimmered in the sun. We had time to stroll round the town before heading to the skywalk. After a quick walk through the German countryside, we arrived to see a long pathway snaking through the treetops. From the top of the skywalk, you could see the picturesque Alps in the distance. To get down, you slide down a very long and awesome slide.

Day 6: Saturday 6th June

On the last day, we did a trip with our families. Lena and her friend Emily's (partnered with Georgie Newman) family took us to a game museum. Afterwards we had time to shop and eat ice-cream. A perfect ending to a great week!
