The first few weeks of the trip have been amazing, it's weird to think how much time has passed already! A highlight has definitely been visiting all of the different Christmas markets, not only the local ones but also those in cities that are a bit further away (like in Heidelberg for our regional day). Our regional day was another thing that has stood out for me so far, it was so much fun to be able to explore a new city and meet some more of the people that we'll be spending Winter Camp with! It's been so lovely to get to know my host family and learn about all the little differences between a typical day in Germany compared with Australia. I've been lucky enough to meet so many members of the extended family and family friends already and I'm really looking forward to Christmas and meeting the whole family then.
