Well we’ve been in Germany for a little while now and learnt some handy phrases “Ich spreche kein Deutch” (I don’t speak German) we tried it on the un-uniformed ticket inspector in Berlin and shook our heads because we thought he wanted money, then he told us in English he wanted to see our tickets….oops!!
We’ve done a few day excursions to areas around Tübingen that Steph has organised for us. We’ve visited the oldest castle in Germany at Meersburg and the tallest cathedral spire in the world at Ulm, and seen a few other cool things along the way!! We even ventured out for one day on our own… of course only with instructions from Steph with train times, platform numbers and instruction for buying tickets in German.
We took the cheap German airline to Dresden for one night – where we bumped into a girl Jo was friends with in year 4 at school!! Random!! We went out and sat with her in a cool little café until 1am, (Jeremy and I will miss this in London). We had a bit of catching up to do and got some tips for Berlin. Dresden was pretty cool, but still so many construction sites, they’re still repairing from after the war!
Off to Berlin the next day where we stayed with Sarah, Steph’s German exchange student from Year 11, it was great to see her again and Berlin was amazing!! It’s always good to have a local show you the secrets!! We did a city walk (when it was like -10 degrees!! We’re told it’s warmer in London though – Phew!), went to some awesome museums, and fitted in a bit of shopping too!!
But four days was over all too soon and we didn’t have enough time to see it all so we told Sarah we would be back again in Summer, when it’s warmer…
So we’ve been in Germany for nearly 2 weeks and still only payed for only one night’s accommodation in Dresden… we’re doing pretty well, off to London next where we have free accommodation arranged before we find our own place… anyone looking for flatmates in London let us know!!!
- Turns out that Jo is just as bad at keeping a story short, but I guess most of you knew that already
We’ll post some photos when we’re set up in London…so keep your eyes open!!

Hi my darlings - it was so wonderful to hear from you on Sunday night. Glad you enjoyed Germany - will have to put it on my list of countries to visit. Still missing you both but know you will have a ball. It will be great when you have settled a bit in your own place - keep up the emails. Love you both - Mum
Sorry guys - still getting use to what I have to do. Mum
