Wow. What an adventure. I can't believe how much we managed to cram into two weeks, and yet I was still ready for more when it came to an end on Friday. Of course, we were all a little exhausted by the end - so perhaps it was the perfect time to wrap up our trip and head back to "reality" (or as close as it gets when you're an exchange student :) ).
The basic program was as follows: after meeting near my town, we boarded the bus (our new home-away-from-home) and headed south into Bavaria (even once crossing into Austria, although only for about 15 minutes), made our way across the country, followed the border up to Berlin, popped up to the port city of Hamburg to sample some cold northern weather, and looped back to our original start point. We stayed in a total of 9 cities (Heidelberg, Freiburg, Füssen, Oberammergau, München (Munich), Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber, Dresden, Berlin, and Hamburg), but also had day trips to other interesting places. Here were some of the highlights:
And some other things (not highlights per se, but learning opportunities and importent to the trip):
And now I'm back! I am extremely grateful to the Rotex team for doing such a fantastic job organizing and running the tour - without them, the trip would not have been possible. Until next time! Liebe Grüße, Sylvia
