65 year 8's and 9's joined us on a trip to Kamp Bornhofen this term where they were immersed into German culture and were able to practise their German language skills whilst taking in the stunning landscape of the Rhine. It was a long coach journey but we finally arrived at Kamp Bornhofen, a beautiful shipping village in the heart of the Loreley Valley. Every day began with a ferry trip across the Rhine to Boppard, a 2000 year old town in the heart of the Rhineland. Our first day saw us take a chair lift up to the top of the hills to see the stunning landscape of the Rhine where we tucked into some delicious “Kaffee und Kuchen,” which, despite taking a long time to arrive, was definitely worth the wait. We were then taken to Köln where we climbed the 509 stairs of spiral staircase up to the top of the spire. All agreed the views were breathtaking but everybody felt a little dizzy by the time we got back down! This was only made better when we reached the chocolate factory and were let loose in the chocolate shop!
