Our trip to Berlin

Meghan writes...

On the 8th of November, we left our apartment at 7:00. We were going to Berlin. We wanted to go there to visit Horst and Eva. They are some relatives of ours. (I do not know exactly how they are related to me). Although it was an early start, we had a very good trip there, going by train, and arrived at about 3:30.

We stayed in Horst and Eva’s house for three nights, and then went in Mathias’s car to his house. He lives in a nice apartment in Rostock, which is two and a half hours’ drive from Berlin. There are only four floors in the apartment. Mathias has two and Sabina (the person that lives downstairs with three girls) has one. There's a restaurant at the bottom. Gina and Tess live downstairs, and we went to their school for a day.


We stayed at their school for an hour and a half. (We went during their English lesson) It is a nice school; it has lots of floors instead of one, like the schools in Canada. At the schools in Germany (maybe Europe too) they have to learn three languages. The English teacher (during English) also taught a little bit of French and a little Russian.


We also went bowling with Gina and Mathias. (Tess was sick). We were planning to go back to Berlin the day after but then there was a train strike. We left a couple days later, going back in Mathias’s car again. It was no problem for him because he was going somewhere else and Berlin was on the way there.


We stayed in Berlin for another day. In that day we visited Asta, (who is 86 years old) her two sisters, her daughter, and one of her sister’s husband. We left the day after, and had the same uneventful (in a good way) train trip as the one on the way there.
