Hallo!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get a comment up whilst we are out here. It has all been pretty hectic! We arrived quite late on Friday night and then had the weekend to recover from the journey and get to know Dresden and our host families. On Sunday night we went to the Semper opera house for the premiere of Giselle and another ballet called "A million kisses to my skin". I think the girls really enjoyed it. Yesterday they experienced German school life and in the afternoon our penfriends gave us a tour around the town. The weather was gorgeous, really sunny and spring like. Today we have been in Berlin all day, visiting the Parliament building, Holocaust Memorial and Checkpoint Charlie and we got back to Dresden around 7pm. Well I´m going to try and attach the first lot of photos now which show the journey here, the ballet and yesterday´s tour of the town. All being well I can upload the Berlin photos tomorrow.

Schöne Grüsse an alle

Frau Semper, Louise, Rebecca, Emily, Zofia and Jo xx
