Travelling to Germany

Our Comenius meeting in Germany

At 7:40 we left Chieti Scalo station by bus and we went to Fiumicino, Rome. After a couple of hours, we arrived in the airport. We waited for two hours and then at 3 p.m., suddenly we got the plane and after two hours we arrived in Frankfurt.

The German guys were already there,ready to fetch us at the exit of the airport and

then after half an hour of travelling, everyone was in the house of the his/her

partner!

Darmstadt

• After a shower the German guys decided to take us to a Mexican restaurant to have dinner with all the other European students .

• As soon as we have finished we went home because in Germany there is a law which does not allow teenagers under 16 to stay out after 10:00 p.m. The initial impact with German guys was a little cold and distant but however after some days the relationship became better.

We had six thrilled days in

Darmstadt.

Darmstadt

It’s a town with a small population in

the region of Hessen.

Kryppenpyramide in the airport

It’s a wooden crib, driven by the heat of the candles.

breathe…
