German Language Tour

Tag Siebzehn (Day Seventeen) by Sebastian Carlesso

Guten Tag!

We started with an early start of 7.30 am breakfast where we were greeted with the same old breakfast we have had for the last week After that, we packed our luggage and headed towards the coach where we drove to the main train station to catch the train to Münich, our final destination before heading home. The train ride consisted of the Year 11s doing Math homework and most of the Year 10s having a good sleep. We were all getting excited for arriving soon when the train came to a stop and no one knew why, but after a few checks with the driver we were on our way It took 5 hours to get to Münich (10 30-3 30)

We got off the train and navigated ourselves to the new hotel where we would be staying for the final nights The hotel rooms consisted of a lovely soft bed with an amazing bathroom which actually worked We all began to dress fancy for our first night out followed by a guided tour by the Night Watchman.

We left the hotel and guided ourselves to the restaurant where we were greeted with what looked like pasta but it really was Spätzle A traditional German dish made of potatoes and cheese After we finished eating we headed off to the train again where we met with the night watchman, who guided us around Münich telling us all about medieval times

He shows us where the castle wall was around the city and he shocked us all when he said “400m in diameter.” We were all expecting it to be bigger honestly! Furthermore, he told us about what the night watchman did and the jobs he had to do: look out for murders/robbers watch out for fires and blow the horn to signal the town sing a cheerful song every hour of the night lock all 4 gates of the castle

Overall we all thought it was a great experience and we definitely learnt a lot while having fun. We headed back on the train to our hotel, we had a late night heading to bed at 11.30 pm and with another big day ahead of us tomorrow

Bis Morgen.
