Sokołów Podlaski- Neustadt exchange!

Our school has an exchange program with school in Neustadt, in Germany and three months ago, in June, our students went to visit this beautiful country. 

Neustadt am Ruebenberge is a town in the districkt of Hannover. It's the 9th largest settlement in Germany by area, though only about 45,000 inhabitantslive there. We were able to visit this place and a lot more.

We went there by bus, our journey had to start at 5 a.m., because we had a lot of kilometers to cover this distance. We were at the place at 17 p.m. It was a long, tiring trip, so almost everybody in the bus were sleeping.

 We stayed in our german peers houses. Even though it was a trip, we had to go with our german friends to their school and be at their classes. For many it was difficult to understand what is lesson about, but it was new experience for all of us. After the classes we always had trips to surrounding cities. 

We were in Hannover, where we made a tour through the town. We saw a beutiful building of a town hall and royal gardens. We were amazed with architecture and scenery of this place.

We were also in Bremen. There were more sightseeing, we went to the old square, we saw a statue "Four musicians of Bremen". We met with very unusual things for us like really tight streets that can hardly fit 3 persons, we tried their sweets and enjoyed the great weather in such special place. 

FOUR MUSICIANS OF BREMEN

The biggest attraction for all was "Heide park Resort", a theme park in Soltau, near Hamburg, one of the biggest german amusement parks. It's full of rollercoasters driving 100 km/h.

One of the best attractions for us were: 

"Colossos", a wooden roller coaster.

The wing coaster "Flight of the demons".

"Scream"- a 103 meters tall Drop Tower.

"Kraken"- dive-coaster, whose angle of the first bleed is 90°.

It was such an adrenaline! We were there whole day but we still didn't have enough time to try everything. It was one of the best thinghs we saw in our live. Other afternoons we spent together on tours through Neustadt or we had other trips to nearer places.

 

It was amazing advanture for all of us. We were able to experience the other culture, use foreign languages so they could understand us, see many beautiful places and make awesome friends. For sure this excursion will stay in our mind for long time.
