The wrong bus

This week was very exciting because Heli and me were driving home with the wrong bus after shopping with our friends. And when we went out of the bus we were standing in a park and didn`t know where we are.
During this day it was raining and we were only dressed with a skirt and a t-shirt . After  asking  a few people  which all said, that it would be a very long way to walk to my hostfamilys house, we decided to phone my host mum.
But when we turned the Handy on, the akku was empty.By now it was very strong rainingand all our clothes were wet. But we didn`t have a phone and so we had to walk. Then we  saw a man  standing in front of his house .
when we asked him how long it would take to walk to the place where I am living he said ,that he would drive us home. He told us that he and his wife do often have international students.
One of his students , a chinese man , got lost one day, but he didn`t trust to ask somebody. At midnight a police man found him and drived him home.
That was with distance the most exciting thing in this week.
On Saturday I went with my host family to Hahndorf .
This is the oldest German village here in australia. It was so funny because in this village you can buy Cukooclocks and traditional german food.
But we didn`t  eat the German food - We buyed  in a fast food restaurant a Burger and a few Chips. After this we went to a chocolate factory where you can buy big chocolate letters or colosall bags full with chocolate
There we buy the chocolate hoard for the next two months ;)
Next Week I will go to a surf camp where I will learn surfing and a few other cool water sports.

  1. Wow, Leonie! You've told a very exciting story! I'm sure that you will be more careful about which bus you climb into in the future! You were very lucky to have met such a nice man who was able to take you home. I'm glad it all worked out alright - and as you say, now you've got an exciting story to tell and a crazy memory to hold on to!

    Your story of the German village is funny, but not completely surprising. In the US, where I come from, there are also little German villages here and there - always with women wearing Dirndls, beer, sausages, and saurkraut. I was in a German village in Virginia that even had a traditional Bavarian band playing!

    It sounds like you are doing great!
