Collette's Thoughts on Day Three


We started the day like the others.  Woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep, wait awhile for breakfast, eat breakfast and finally, head out for a new adventure.  Instead of looking around the city, today we went on a hike.  Our destination was Die Drachenschlucht (Dragon Gorge.)  On our way, we had to stop.  There was a road where it was difficult to see around the corner and also kids who could not wait to get to the other side.  Predictably, right when some people started to cross, a huge truck came around the corner.  Afterwards, we were much more cautious.  When we got to Drachenschlucht we were told that the waters had washed away part of the path.  We still got to see about half of the Drachenschlucht trail.









In an effort to get there by a different route Frau Brandt took us along a dirt path that travelled parallel to the road.  After walking on what seemed to be a never ending trail, we camp upon what appeared to be a tombstone.  Looking forward from there we saw that the trail only continued, thus we decided to return to the youth hostel have some free time in Eisenach.





After another delicious dinner at the hostel, Raymond took out the Ping Pong balls he had purchased that day and invited people to play a game.  Out of a total of four students and Herr Spence, it was found that Jonathon was the Ping Pong champion.  This was until some German kids at the hostel joined our game and taught us a new way to play the game.  Unlimited amounts of people can play the game according to the new rules they taught us.  They then commenced to beat us repeatedly.
