We left Berlin on Saturday at around midnight and arrived on Sunday at 5 pm. The journey took a long time. We travelled by coach and ferry. The journey was fun because we played many games like “Truth or Dare”. And we listened to some music. There was no way I could fall asleep that night. (Efe)

We travelled by coach and the journey took about 16 hours. For me, it was a lot of fun and for others maybe boring. We arrived in Eastbourne at 6 pm on the next day. Our host family picked us up. They were very nice but there was a problem. They kept two dogs and that was not very nice, so we changed families. The second host family kept one dog, so it was better but sometimes they did not give us enough food, which was not okay. (Abdul)

Today I’m going to write a little about our journey to Eastbourne. On the day of departure we met at school. It was very cold and pretty late. The coach arrived rather early so after having put all our suitcases and bags in the coach, we started our 15-hour-journey. In the first two or three hours we were very active and lively but after some time many people started falling asleep. I didn’t sleep at all so the next five hours were really boring. In fact, everyone around me slept so I could not talk to anybody. But later we talked a lot and played many games. After a long time the drivers swapped. The new driver was very nice. He introduced himself to us and continued the ride. Later we arrived at Calais where we took the ferry to Dover. It took another three hours before we arrived in Eastbourne where we were introduced to our host families who picked us up and took us to our temporary home. (Matti)

On Sunday we arrived in Eastbourne. The journey was really long and tiring because we travelled for about 16 hours. We were very excited. I sat behind my friends and together we had a lot of fun. The journey started in Berlin at our school. We took a long break on the ferry. There we went to the bathroom and we enjoyed the beautiful view of the sea and the White Cliffs of Dover. On Friday evening we left England and travelled back to Berlin. The coach was really cold, but it was fun to laugh with my friends. We spent the time playing “Truth or Dare“. For me, it is the best game to play on a long journey. We arrived in Berlin at around lunchtime. (Darina)

The journey took about 18 hours, but I enjoyed it because it was a lot of fun. I mean, during the first two hours we listened to music, played games, were on our phones and laughed a lot. We also ate some home-made cake. Later people fell asleep and it was very quiet on the upper deck. (Tarkan)

We started the journey on Saturday night. We had a lot of fun. But it was very hot, especially on the upper deck of the coach. I spent time with my friends or played with my phone or listened to music. The Cliffs of Dover are extremely beautiful. Although the journey took a long time, I thought that it was cool. (Yusuf)
