Germany, Berlin

We headed to Berlin Germany today. Our first task was to find a flight from Kona, Hawaii to the capital city of Germany.  Once we arrived in Berlin, we began looking for the tallest church in Germany, the Ulm Munster.  This church has 728 steps and it is 160.5 feet tall. What a site!  Then we had to build a stack of cubes each one is 5 feet so it was 32 cube compared to our school. Then we had to go and watch the movie thenthe world and it was the neuschwanstein castle and what Disney movie that got inspired about it, it was sleeping beauty. so then we had to race down the autobahn and we had t complete it in 25 min or less when they timed it we did it in our 1st try so then we races over to road block so i had to eat black forest cake with out alcohol so we were done we would get are next clue after that we had to watch a video about the most famous castle in o then i ate it then we were off to are next challenge. We ha d to find check point charlie and who or what is it . It is a place where west and east Germany built a wall to keep people from going to the west side.  Then we had to locate the famous hotel called Konishof and more importantly the head chef Martin Fauster.  Once we found him that was the end of this leg of the race.  What a trip!

P.S.  Next time we have more time I want to go skiing on Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze.  It rises almost 10,000 feet with 75 miles of runs and all levels of difficulty.  They say there are glaciers on top.  Next time!
