Last Sunday, I went on my next Boystime bike tour along a river in bavaria. .we met around 8:40 at the train station, and I tried to give a ticket back we couldn't use because one of 5 friends couldn't come (he broke his hand while being drunk); but the indian guy in front of me couldn't speak german that well so I had to go to the train before it was my turn to talk to the nice lady at the counter. me and 4 friends had to sit in a train for 6 hours, swapping trains twice. The second time, we tried to sell the ticket (it was a ticket you could use all day, and anyone could use it). Suddenly, 2 security guys came and ripped it out of my hand.
""What are you doing here? Can you give us your ID?" So I got the idea from my bike which stood 200m away.
"Can you show us your ticket" I had to run for it, quickly put my name on it (otherwise it would have been invalid) and bring it to the security guy. Because I had a valid ticket with my name on it, it wasn’t illegal to sell the other ticket.
So we went to the next train, and played cards or slept. When we arrived in Bayreuth, the aim of our travel, we didn’t realise being already there and kept on playing cards and nearly drove back to Heidelberg.
In the evening we camped illegally (you’re not allowed to camp wherever you want to, you would have to go to a camping ground. But that costs 4 dollars per person which is way too expensive for an avaricious german (also it is more of an adventure to camp somewhere you’re not meant to be). We asked a woman before, if we could camp there, she said yes even though it wasn’t her ground.
The next day, we drove up to a church which was meant to be worth to see. My uncle told me if I dind’t go up there he would punch me. On the way back down; I rode fucking 56 km per hour. In the next city, we got a litre beer (in one glass, made out of stone, I think the English word for the glass is stein) for 3,60€ which is about 5 dollars, I think. We also got “Weißwurst”, the most Bavarian food you can get.
After that, we met a teacher from grade six, being 400 kms away from Heidelberg. We always loved him because he turned very red when we put up posters with his name on it and drummed against the windows while he was talking to his colleagues.
On Tuesday, we rode really fast until we got to a restaurant called “Rose” and drank beer. After that, we bought wine there and plum brandy which is fucking amazing (as good as Jägermeister). In the evening we drank that while eating ravioli.
On Wednesday, we had to get to a bike shop, so one of my friends and I rode to the next city and found one, but it was closed because the owner was at an exhibition of bikes. We asked a guy who was about 80 years old whether there was a second shop in town.
“Yes, right behind the townhall, but it’s also closed because of the exhibition.”
He asked a friend who was passing by the same question.
“Yes, right behind the townhall”. “It’s also closed because of the exhibition” “Ah, I didn’t know that”
So he asked a third friend the same question:
“Yes, right behind the townhall”. “It’s also closed because of the exhibition” “Ah, I didn’t know that”. In the afternoon, we always ate bread and honey in front of filthy supermarkets, also this time. Then we ate ice cream in a village called “Eichel” which is german for glans. Yummy.
In the evening, we set up our tents near a city, but decided to sleep outside the tent.
At midnight, we watched the stars and shooting stars (I wished I’d get mi goring, but sadly I didn’t). Fucking good idea to sleep outside.
At 3 o’clock in the morning, I woke up, it was freezing and my sleeping bag was wet because of the morning mist. Fucking bad idea to sleep outside.
Today, we rode back to Heidelberg. Sick to ride down a hill for about 20 minutes at 40 -50 km per hour. Not so sick to ride up on the other side.

the day before yesterday, i visited my uncle. we talked about my grandfather's house, and my father praised how dry it was. the next day, it rained for 12 hours in a row. my father then called me and my cousin to come to my grandfather's house because the cellar was underwater. we went there to help bringing the furniture upstairs, and 2 uncles, 2 cousins and one aunt helped us. i stood there in bright blue bathers, a t-shirt which is way too big and safety shoes with steel toe cap my father bought second hand on a market 30 years ago, the water was about half a meter high and i was carrying a fridge upstairs. these are true northern german holidays, my uncle said.

Last friday, a few people came to my house to drink beer and talk.That's why I love summer. On Saturday, there was a race organised by my kayaking club. I had to help from 6 am to 8pm. Then I told a few friends to come to the party which took place afterwards. After drinking nearly 4l of beer, I was quite drunk. We went swimming in the river at night, and then a 5friends came to my house to sleep here. i think i drank a bit too much. anyway, after they left in the morning, I went to bed again and slept to 2:30 pm. then I had to break the lock of my bike because I lost the bike key the night before.
On Monday, I went kayaking again when I noticed my passport was missing (i still don't have an iD, but i ordered one; at the moment, I have to use the passport to buy beer). After looking for it for 10 minutes, I asked my trainer where he thinks it could be, and he told me he knows who has got it and that he had sent me a message on sunday.
I lost my phone in France, though.

ON Wednesday, I had a bbq at my house, again, because the summer holidays started. Good.

2 Saturdays ago, a few of my friends were having boystime bbq at my place because my parents were in Spain. At 1 o'clock, we broke into the public pool.we jumped off the 5 metre diving board ,one of my friends even dived off the 10m board in the dark. On fthe next friday, there was a party at the centre for geriatric people, with music and dancing, I should have taken pictures. on monday, my whole class went to strasbourg in france for 3 days. In the evening, we drank some beer and sat in some kind of park, hoping that our teacher won't find us. Same the next day, after which we played table tennis at 2 o'clock at night(crisp game when you're drunk) in the hotel untill the night watchman told us to go to our rooms . today, we went back to germany in the train. only one week left to the big summer holidays.

I gut stung by a bee last weekend and my foot was swollen and nearly double as big as usually, so I could barely walk. The oldies thought I was taking the piss out of them because I was limping. On Wednesday, my aunt and my two little cousin's came to meet a friend of them who lives in the US and came to Heidelberg because this is such a beautiful city (not actually though). Yesterday, I was playing "Don't get angry" for 3 hours with 80-years-old women, but I only got 5th out of 6. The last one hates me for capturing her pawn. In the memory games and gymnastics, they are better then me as well. But I was better at going on a walk.

We had 2 weeks of holidays untill last sunday, and I was in Kiel visiting my cousins.There was a sailing festival where we went to almost every evening with my cousin's friends. On Saturday, we went waterskiing. In the evening we went to the sailing festival, . It was good fun. Unfortunately, we had to go back to Heidelberg yesterday. Because it was cheaper, my father had bought a ticket with which you can only use the trains that also stop in smaller cities and are therefore much slower; with the faster trains, it takes 7 hours, with these trains it should have taken 11 hours.But because there were people striking, it took 15 hours and we had to take 7 different trains.
But now I'm back in Heidelberg and school startet again.I will have a work experience thing where I work in a place where old people spend the day ( they don't sleep there though, so I hope they're mentally still alright). We had to do it in some kind of charity thing,so I decided to do it there.

the week before last week, I had to choose the subjects I will have to do the next 2 years: I have to do german, maths, religion, PE and history; additional to that, I have to do either arts or music (i chose arts), 2 science things (physics, biology and chemistry; i chose physics and biology); 2 languages (latin and english), geography, politics and philosophy;
on thursday, I went to the kayaking club to have training, but my trainer was just entering a big boat with 4 other people to go up to the place I was at 2 weeks before; we had a ghetto blaster (?) in front of the boat and drank beer untill we got to the place we wanted to go; there, we made a big fire; Sadly, I had to go home that night;
ON Saturday, I we went to bavaria because of a kayaking race; I became a succesfull 14th out of 24 over 6000m, a great 6th out 0f 7 over 500m and an unbelievable 5th out of 8 over 200m.
a week ago, my first hostfamily came to heidelberg to visit us;
on friday, i went to kiel because we have two weeks holidays; 2 cousins, my little brother, my uncle and me went on a biketrip for 2 and a half days. BOYSTIME!! the sea is warm and I go swimming everyday. good.

last friday, there was another party at the kayaking club, 2 of my mates were having it because they got 16; one of them was so drunk at 10 o'clock that his mother had to get him; good times! I didn't know where to sleep, of course, so I planned to sleep in the club house.But fortunately a mate said I could sleep at his house, otherwise it would have been quite cold...
the next morning we drove to a place near basel, that is at the corner of germany, france and switzerland, but the place we were at was in france; we went wildwaterkayaking there, it was really cool! in the evening we drank beer and sat outside looking on the rhine and talking to some bogan french guy. after sleeping in a camp, we went kayaking again the next day. It was so cool to jump in the waves and try tricks...
then we had to go back. Today my brother had his last day of school, he had to have a presentation and did really well; usually all pupils but grade 12 don't have school that day but my german teacher said we had to write an exam. 2 hours in this fucking room!

Last weekend, there was a party at a place my kayaking club owns, a few kilometers out of town. We drank beer and it was good fun. When we got drunk, we gave someone a glass of vinegar instead of brandy or something. He knew it and had to give it to someone else but he gave the other one the wrong glass and kept the one with the vinegar in it. He drank it and said " that stuff is really hard!" But he kept drinking it without noticing. Eventually he found out though. I cannot describe his face.

Sunday morning, the race started. I became 3rd out of 4 , but the first and the second were both 2 years older. Today my muscles are hurting.

The holidays have been good.one of my cousins was here. There were many easter eggs last sunday, thanks to the rabbits. On Tuesday 4 more cousins arrived with their parents. On Wednesday they left and took my younger brother with them. On Thursday we drove up to Kiel where my cousins live, with one cousin in our car. On Friday my mother took a train to Kiel. I finally went swimming in the sea, but it was like 13 degrees, which is cold. ON Saturday we went bowling. ON Sunday my cousin had confirmation, some celebration in the church when you get 14 with a big family party. tradition. good food. talking to my cousins. good food.

I had to do the exam, but it wasn't too hard. But my homegroup teacher said I have to tell all teachers to give me marks, otherwise I will have to repeat grade 10.
On Friday, my cousin came; he is my brother's godfather and stayed for the weekend. On Saturday was my little brother's birthday, we went for a walk in the forest.
I got one contact lense today, but I'm not sure yet whether I will wear it all the time because it's expensive and I don't know whether my health insurance pays for it.
As the weather is better now, we are playing table tennis everyday now.

I didn't have to participate in the exam on monday. I got my computer on tuesday and went kayaking for the first time this year. ON Wednesday, i had friends over to eat the lollies from carnival, but they are still not finished. I played lots of arcade games with my little brother and tabletop soccer with all my brothers. My brother had really important exams this week, but he still has to go to school afterwards. Today, I had a friend over. he explained me maths cause I will have to participate in the exam on tuesday. It is colder now again, and I can't go swimming in the sea for at least 1.5 more months.

I went to my mother's friend on friday, we went there in a very full train and I nearly couldn't enter it. In the evening, I went to a pub with the son of my mother's friend and enjoyed some german beer. On Sunday, there was carnival. We ate good food and I drank germany beer again. I collected tons of lollies at the carnival. On Monday, I went to my uncles house. We went to the carnival again and I collected more lollies. The days after, I went to the pool, played games with my little cousins (the boy is 7 and the girl is 5) and we played soccer with their neighbours every evening. On Saturday, my uncle set up my PC. It's grafic card was broken and windows didn't work anymore. Now I have windows xp and lots of arcade games on the computer. I'm gonna get it tomorrow because someone else is bringing it with a car. Yesterday, I returned from Aachen. I'm now back in Heidelberg and school starts tomorrow. I will have a french exam, but I don't know whether I have to participate.
