Year 8 Trip to Cologne
We travelled to cologne, Germany by coach and ferry. It took us about eight hours but it felt like two weeks. We arrived at the hostel at about half past six. After locating our rooms we went down for dinner. That evening the teachers arranged quizzes and games for us pupils to enjoy.
On the second day we went to the Cologne (Köln) Cathedral. It was a freezing day and after a while we went into the cathedral, it was just as amazing inside as it was outside. After our visit to the cathedral we were allowed to go off in groups and explore the German Christmas markets. After this we made our way down to the sports museum. The museum was very interesting and we learnt a lot. Everyone had a great time! Later that evening we went to a different Christmas market. It was very cold and crowded but good fun.
These markets consisted of carved wooden features, traditional German food such as “Currywurst” which is a sausage covered in curry powder, also a waffle like snack “Kattofelpuffer” and “Glühwein” a hot alcoholic drink which is served in the winter which we pupils obviously weren’t allowed.
On the final day we went to a medieval Christmas market where we tried some of their medieval food and cakes. After this we excitedly walked across the bridge to a Lindt chocolate museum. We were taken around the museum by a tour guide and we even got to try out some of their freshly made chocolate. It was delicious! We then boarded the coach and travelled back. We had a great trip on the way home and overall everyone had an amazing experience.
