After that some members used the water slide and others just relaxed and slept in their tents. Finally we played together Volleyball and shared our skills and soon we all met for the tasty lunch and had a great evening. The best at the evening was that the "Luschenverein" FC Bayern M|nchen lost their game in penalty shootout. Shootout against Wolfsburg. The great team VfB Stuttgart won their game easy against Manchester city with 4:2. After the halftime Stuttgart shoot 4 goals and the result was 4:0. I think they will be German Champions this year. So the first day end, it was very cool but all of us missed the welsh members. Joris, David, Birte
