Breakfast was at nine, so we got to sleep in for an extra hour, thank gooodness!! We left for the Hansa amusement park at ten, and we got to spend the next six hours there.The amusement park was divided into eleven different sections all recognizing different countries. Canada was highlighted by the Abenteuerland section, where there was tipis, tree houses, totem poles, and other First Nations attractions. The representation for Canada at the amusement park was a Canadian flag on top of a tipi. There was a large range of rides, themed food and souvenier shops for everyone to enjoy. Some of the favorite rides included the swings, the haunted roller coaster that was so extremely fast that it blew your hair back, and the boat that swung us upside down which was a thrill for all. We got a first hand experience being coal miners on a coal miner cart with sudden stops, starts and tight turns. We now have new bruises on our hips to match our knees and elbows! We were all able to choose our own lunches instead of having the traditional European style of lunches which is bread, meat, and cheese. Once we arrived back to our hostel we were treated with supper which was chicken a la king, rice and roasted potatoes. Afterwards we went for a walk along the beach side and got to explore the area that we will be staying for the remainder of our trip. There were jellyfish everywhere! While we were wandering, Beau decided he was going to explore all the nooks and crannies. He returned carrying a small fish! For the rest of the night both teams spent time together playing various card games. We took a small break for separate meetings where the goofy suits were assigned. For the guys boy received it for catching the fish and nominating himself along with the countless other things he did to deserve it. On the girls side chelsea received the suit because she forgot her game pants in her suitcase. Finally we’d like to thank the anonymous donor for the replacement handball for Alosious, what a remarkable surprise! It was a great day filled with excitement and adventure, it’s a cliché but its true!!!
