Dear Diary, today we had our free day of the Exchange Program and decided to spend some time in a climbing garden near the lake “Brombachsee”. The day started with a few misunderstandings because the instructors were not able to talk in English, but we sorted it out by translating everything. After we got information it was our turn to start with the first task.
Seeing the big height of the trees like pines and firs we felt dizzy. Some of us were excited and some were a little bit scared of the adventure to come. As a first step for each exercise we had to climb a ladder, for example we had to move through a wooden tunnel and walk on a net before we arrived at the cable slide which we used to come down to the ground again safely. It got harder and higher towards the end of the curse but we were able to manage it and we had a lot of fun. To be honest we had some problems with different tasks, so we cheated a little bit e.g. slipping through the difficult parts of the climbing course. When it was finally our turn to try the “Flying Fox”, we climbed on a platform and we enjoyed a breath-taking view, before we finally jumped from the platform. We were sliding across the “Brombachsee” with a speed of 60 km/h like birds flying over a sparkling lake
After four hours, we all finished successfully. It was a great, unforgettable and impressive experience for all of us and we all went home with a smile in our face.
See you tomorrow!
Yours,
