Sylt, Germany

Three of my closest friends and i traveled to Sylt, a beautiful island in Germany. Carolin's grandma has a house there, and so we decided to go there during the summer break. It was my first time to travel somewhere far without any adults, so it was such an experience for me. 

On the way there, we missed our train. We had to wait for the next one, which was also delayed. We ended up having to travel for around 8 hours or less. Upon our arrival, we thought we couldn't get inside the house since the door won't open. We had to ring the neighbor and see whether they can help us. Good thing Nina had the strength to push the door open or else we would be stuck waiting in the cold and rainy weather. It was pretty funny since Isaac, who's all big and strong couldn't open it. Haa! Later that day, we decided to head out to the beach and see how gorgeous it is there. Since we barely see any beach in Germany, we went out there at night time, even though it was still drizzling a bit. My biggest mistake there was that i lost the key when i started jumping and screaming for joy! I was in charge of the key since i had a camera bag with me, where we placed the key. We panicked a little, but inside i was dying of shame and guilt. We already experienced a lot that day and suddenly a mishap just had to happen. Like i said, it was dark and rainy, therefore it was hard to find the key. And to our rescue, Isaac fortunately found they key! I just started crying after that. They all comforted me and told me it's fine, except i shouldn't be in charge of the key next time. Haha! Later that night, we had a frog inside our room! Obviously we panicked a little since it's not really in our best interest to sleep knowing there's  a frog jumping around. We got rid of it after a long 20-30 minutes i think. But yes, that was the end to our long and hectic first day at Sylt. 

Overall, we stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. On the second day, since the weather was better that day, we decided to swim even though it was 12°C - 15°C! Haha! The best idea ever though, we totally had a blast! On our third and last night, we decided to celebrate and go to a bar. Everything was a lot more pricey at Sylt, but spending all our money on our drinks ended our last night there perfectly.

I honestly enjoyed every single minute of this trip. I needed it since i knew my it would be my last out of the town trip before i leave Berlin. So thankful for having friends like them who can make me laugh and smile nonstop. So thankful that i got to have memories such as this with them.



A little video i edited, which we filmed when we were at Sylt. 
For memories' sake.
