Englisch Austausch

I am Millie and I come from England. I live in the south of England, in a town called Lymington, in a place called The New Forest. I go to Bournemouth school for girls, which is by the sea and I can see the sea from my bedroom window.
I am in Königstein on an English/German Exchange and in February my partner will come to England for a week, like how I have spent a week here.
My week here has been very busy, but also very fun! I arrived on Friday and met my Exchange Partner.
On saturday we went to Frakfurt by train, and it was very busy with lots of police everywhere. It was also very crowded. I had fun exploring and going up to the top of a skyscraper and looking at the view of the city. I tried my first ever German wurste, it was a new taste for me!
On Sunday we visited Heidelberg and climbed 320 steps in order to get to the castle. When we got there there were more wonderful views, and after taking lots oif photos we descended back down ground level to explore the town. I discovered lots of chocolate shops and cafes so we decided to stop for some Sachertorte, it was delicious. After a tiring day we decided to go back home.
On Monday I joined my class for a quick tour around the school, (it is very big) and then we walked into the centre of Königstein and we set a series of questions to complete. to complete the questions we had to walk around the town, meaning we had to ask a lot of people for directions and information, we got to practise our German and eat lovely cakes from the cake shops and going into the BrotHaus for tea and to come back together as a class. we ascended the hill to get to the castle and to learn about the history of Königstein and its castle. when we had finished we joined our partners in school which meant going home for me, as it was a half day for my partner.
We visited Schloss Freudenberg to find out more about our senses on Tuesday. we did different activities, including going on a barefoot walk and visiting the sound hall. It was an interesting trip, even though we had to take two trains and two buses to get there.when it started to rain we thought it would be a good idea to think about packing up our things to leave.
Today is Wednesday and I have spent a day at school with my partner. it is very differnet to school in England for a few reasons, we have lots of the childrens work up on the walls and also we only have 5 lessons in a day, which last one hour. In England school starts at 8:30 and ends at 3:30, which is also quite a big difference from school here.
Tomorrow I look forward to visiting Frankfurt again and going on a shopping trip with my friends.

Best Wishes,
Millie
