Travel day, Monday

Travel day, Monday

The day had started at 4 o'clock in the morning with get ready for our trip.
At 5 o'clock we met each other at Koblenz train station and after a nice train drive we arrived at Frankfurt airport.
At half past one we arrived in Helsinki and had our first impression of Finland.
Finally we arrived our target Jyväskylä after a very funny and noisy bus drive.
Than the big moment was coming and we met our hosts for the first time.
It was such a nice feeling to met our hosts and go home with them.
At I arrived at my home for the next five days I was so excited to meet my guest family.
After the first contact we went to a little sightseeing tour in Muurame where I got a little impression in the beautiful Finnish nature.
At the end of the day I'd play football with my three exchange brothers and went with a good feeling to bed.

The day started for me in the early morning at 3:45 am. At 5 o'clock we met each other at the train station in Koblenz to take together the train to Frankfurt. After about one and half hour we arrived at Frankfurt airport. Then we could "explore" the airport in little groups until our flight to Finland started. In the afternoon we arrived in Helsinki and then we drove by bus to Jyväskylä. But first we were at school waiting for our exchange students. I felt a bit nervous and excited when I got to know my host family. After I was picked up by them we went to the Prisma market to buy some food for this week. When we drove at home after getting to know the rest of the family. In the evening we walked with the neighbour's dogs to the black lake. I've never seen such a beautiful lake like that in Finland! I was really impressed by the nature and landscapes. Later we explored by car the places around Jyväskylä almost until midnight. It was very exciting.
