Day 6

After breakfast today we went swimming in the hotel pools which were very famous thermal baths. There were outside pools – one was heated, one was a wave pool and there was a section of children’s pools – this was the only area where Jack and I could splash each other. The pools were magnificent, with marble steps and all of these really old statues all around. There were two inside pools as well – one was hot and the other one was cold. I put my back against the hot water coming from a lion statue’s mouth and Jack tried to block it! After that we went to the outside pool again and waited for the waves to start again. A bell would ring and then the waves would start. I nearly crashed into other people when they came! We then went back to our room, picked up our luggage and went to the car. We then drove to the airport in Vienna and on the way we stopped at Schonbrunn palace. It was very big – the place was spread wide and in the middle was a large fountain. This palace was the home of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary. We then went to the airport. It was a bit confusing at first and we didn’t know where to go. After asking several people we finally figured it out! After going through all of the security there was a bus that arrived and carried us to the outside plane. The plane trip was about 34 minutes and while we were on it Jack and I played and were a bit silly. Now we are sitting at Nurnberg airport in Germany waiting to catch a plane to Berlin!

After the flight, which took around an hour, we ordered a cab. We then went to where we are staying, and met Leith. He has come from Spain, and tomorrow my dad and he will go to a printing show. My mum, Jack and I will be on our own, and it will be a HUGE day!
