At 2am we left Kalajoki for Oulu by bus. We flew from Oulu to Helsinki and from there to Amsterdam. We were in Amsterdam at around 10 am. We ate some pizza and got coffee from Starbucks. Then we travelled to Oldenzaal by train. We had to change trains and missed the last one, but we took the next one and made it to our destination almost in time. Our hosts picked us up at the train station and we spent the evening with our host families.

We woke up early for school and had the ice breakers and our presentations, which went well. We had lunch and were off to the city hall to hear a speech by the county council Mr. Kethorn.

When we got to the school we had a volleyball tournament. Then we spent some time working with our blogs and afterwards went to an Asian restaurant to have lunch. In the afternoon we went to see the Bad Bentheim castle.
