Berlin Welcome

BERLIN - our third airport in 24 hours - and what an amazing welcome ! Everyone arrived safely and so did all our luggage. All our host families were waiting with a huge banner to greet us. We have the weekend with our families to get over the jetlag - and explore Werder before we go to school on Monday. Some of us have already cycled around the area alongside the Havel River - the weather is fine but a little windy. The countryside is very beautiful with lots of trees, lovely houses and boats all along the river.

Kuala Lumpur Airport - half way!

It is 1.35 NZ time and we are all stretching our legs walking around KL airport. It is huge!
The first part of our journey went well - everyone ate their meals, watched videos and listened to music ... but can we survive another 12 hours or more? The next blog might show some jet lagged group members - but everyone is still really excited and doing well!

Till the next post from Germany!

Tchuss bis morgen

Our last pretrip meeting ...after a full term of Thursday lunchtime meetings in the German room (J3) the whole group met under "our" sign to capture this farewell shot - tomorrow will be the real thing at the airport (don't be late!).

What do you think of our new black travel t-shirts?

They are really well designed with our names on the back and the Lynfield crest on the front - I am sure they will entitle to lots of special treatment in all the airports we pass through!
