It was a 7 hour trip from Woldingham to Aachen, about one hour to the Euro Tunnel, another half hour on the tunnel and the rest travelling through different countries: (Luxemburg, France and Belgium) In Belgium we stopped and went to a gas station shop. We saw the biggest BabyBel ever! We bought a few sausages and sandwiches, and we were back on the road.
Within a few hours we arrived in Aachen, we cleaned up the bus, got our luggage, and it was a long uphill walk to the youth hostel. The Youth hostel was very nice! Some boarders said it was better than the Boarding Area! We settled in and changed to warmer clothes and then we were off to the Christmas Market for the first day.
The Christmas Market was amazing! The smell of gingerbread filled the air and we immediately got something to eat! Pizza, Sausage, Pretzels everything you could dream of! We also got some Printen (German Gingerbread). Although we didn’t spend a long time there, some of us got the chance to go on the Merry - Go – Round. At the end of the evening, we went back to the hostel and we played some Taboo in our pyjamas with some giant Fantas!
Overall, It was a great first day! And we had loads of fun...!
