Treuenbrietzen und Feldheim

Today we had the pleasure of visiting Frau Zimmer's home in Treuenbrietzen. Instead of going to our host-partners first lesson, we left Werder on an enormous bus straight away. It was a little under an hour to Treuenbrietzen. The moment I saw Frau Zimmer's home, I could see how beautiful it was. We took a group photo just on the front steps and then left for Treuenbrietzen. We went on a tour through the stunning little town, which included entering the town church, and stopped for lunch before moving on to Feldheim, the only energy self-sustaining village in Germany. We went on a small tour with a very friendly tour guide. She taught us about how the electricity is made by solar panels, wind turbines and bio-gas in Treuenbrietzen. We were also given sausages on bread at the end. This was the end of our day and so began our journey back to Ernst-Haeckel Gymnasium. In the late afternoon, Saloni, Jade, Maddy, Fleur and I went with our host partners to an Eis (ice cream) place on the island of Werder. The Eis was absolutely amazing!! Sehr, sehr lecker. For Abendessen I got to try Döner Kebabs for the first time. Today was extremely interesting and we all learnt a lot, while still having plenty of fun. I'm sure we are all looking forward to tomorrow when we visit the Reichstag. (Danni)
