Werder

The group arrived safely in Berlin after our long journey, and surprisingly everyone's luggage also arrived - luggage checked in at Auckland and all arrived in Berlin! - amazing! The first day's programme consisted of a walking tour of the island of Werder, one of the older parts of the town. The tour was conducted by our host brothers and sisters, with stops for information at major points of interest. At the Council Offices we met the Mayor who spoke to us about the area. The weather co-operated and we managed to get to the end of the tour without the forecast showers.It has been cool (about 9 degrees) and cloudy. We are looking forward to tomorrow's walking tour of Berlin (and catching up on some sleep tonight!)
