Today it's gonna be the day! The German guys arrived at the camp. Because of the hot temperature we decided to go to the lake Ebni or to try the water slide. It was funny . yeah <3 After dinner (Benny's Schupfnudeln Spezial) we met each other in the middle of the tent camp and played some games. We're looking forward to see our welsh friends. <3 David, Maxi, Hudel, Kerria, Jessie, Schlotti

Today is a relaxing day. We (the German group) didn't do that much. We enjoyed the sunny morning and played some games like football or volleyball. After the lunch we prepared everything for the water slide. We enjoyed it really much at this hot day. At two o'clock Albi and a few leaders drove to the airport to pick up the Welsh group. The rest of the German group stayed in the camp to surprise the Welsh group with a robbery of their luggage. Originally we planned to steal their bags while they were walking down to lake Ebni but this plan failed because of the weather. Sadly it started to rain 30 minutes before the welsh group did arrive. So we had to change our plan. Instead of robbing them they should give us a hug. It was quite funny for us and for the welsh people. After the dinner we played some "Ice-Breaker-games". So that everyone get to know each other's name and sometimes a little bit more. Later in the evening we played volleyball, talked to each other and threw the rugby egg. Some minutes before the curfew we had to brush our teeth afterwards everyone went to their tents. It was a bit exciting to sleep together with the welsh people in a tent because they were little bit crazy but after a while everybody slept.

Early in the morning Albi and his best friend the camera went through the tent camp and made a lot of trouble and noise in the camp. Because of the noise everyone woke up. After this kind of shock we all went quite sleepy to the breakfast. For breakfast we had bread, butter, sausage, cheese, marmalade and cereals with milk. After the early breakfast we met us again in the house to get the introduction for the intercontinental game. There were five various countries. Each of them were completely different. For example there was the land of the animals, the land of the night, the land of the fruits, the land of zombies and the land of the sweets. The tasks every country had to do were: Create a national hero, create a present for the 10th anniversary of the youth exchange, create a song, a flag and a national dance. Therefore we had the whole day time to prepare our country. I was in the land of the night but I wanted to be in the land of the zombies because I like zombies and I had so much good ideas for the presentation. After a few hours of preparation we had our lunch. In the afternoon Albi decided to insert a little game. But the weather was very bad it rained cats and dogs. For the game we had to search things in and around the tent camp. This wasn't that funny because of the rain. Also we had to create a little story with all the things we had to search. Before the presentation of the intercontinental game the kitchen team cooked goulash with bread. It was delicious! Afterwards everyone presented their land. Everyone was quite good however the land of the zombies was the best. Everyone knew that they going to win. On their old and tattered looking flag was a big gravestone with the famous abbreviation R.I.P..It looked amazing! Christian was wearing a "bones shirt". So it looked like we could see all of his bones. Their song and dance was the Harlem shake and they freaked out like real zombies :D It looked amazing therefore everybody started to laugh. Their present was a bottle of the antiserum against the zombie virus. In fact it was just a bottle of apple juice but the idea was brilliant. All in all it was a great day we all enjoyed it pretty much. I was also happy because my group made the second place. In the evening we went quite tired to bed and slept very well. Just too short.

After the breakfast we were divided up into 7 groups with five o six persons in it. In those groups we were going to do the sports games. Therefore a bus came which was full of sports stuff. We had "Pedalos, roaps, little football goals, stilts, waveboards and much more awesome things. At every station we had to do different sport activities like doing as much jumps as possible with a jump rope in one minute or walking with stilts as far as possible. For each activity we got points and in the end the group with the most points won. In the winning group were Felix, Tatjana, Sian, Huudel and Jasmin with sensational 250 points. The team on the second place got 180 points. So there was a big difference between the first and the second place. After the winner presentation we had lunch: Bread, cheese, sausages. In the afternoon we had time to practice our choreography for the "mini playback show". We also chilled and had fun on the water slide. In the evening we had Barbecue. Afterwards we got our youth exchange shirts. All in all it was a relaxed day. Maxi

Today we woke up and had breakfast outside. The breakfast was great. We were surrounded by cows and the mountains. Later we went abseiling which was great fun for those who weren't scarred of the height. Afterwards we went swimming in a little lake. Cameron thought the water was too cold so he didn't go in. Back on the mountain shelter we had our lunch. Albi got us all free drinks. Thank you Albi! In the evening we had a wellness hour with massages and face masks. Ieuan & Cameron

After a the delicious breakfast we had a long free time in which everybody could decide by himself or herself what to do. I think everybody enjoyed the day. Me and a little group walked through the wood and enjoyed the wonderful nature. Some boys played rugby, volleyball or football. Playing cards, sleeping etc. were an important part of the day. The other part of the day was filled up with the evening program. Our last evening was very special. The leaders played the most important and funny moments from the last two weeks. The day ended with the final disco and a campfire. And we loved. and we danced. and we cried. and had a really good time. Miss all of you guys Annika

Saturday,10th August
On our last day we got up at the 7 o'clock and had breakfast at 8 o'clock. The time until 9 o'clock we used to pack our luggage and to clean up our tents. All together we cleaned the campsite and loaded up the buses. At 11 o'clock we left the camp and it was very stressful. Albi was very nervous because of the woman who was going to control the tent camp. Everything had to be cleaned up otherwise the woman would not have let us go home. The buses were full and the sun looked through the clouds. The planes flew over us and made a big noise. Later after the control we sat in the minibuses and drove home. We were lucky but also sad to get home. Our parents were already waiting for us. This was the Youth-exchange 2013 and we hope to see us again next year. Thank you Albi :D Tine & Christian
