Day 17: Travel to Holland

The day began early, as we packed our things into the vans, cleaned out the dorms, and headed to the Stralsund train station to make our way to Holland.

We said farewell to Bernd and our gracious hosts, who will hopefully make it to the USA sometime soon.

The first leg of the trip took us from Stralsund to Hamburg, then Hamburg to Dusseldorf, then Dusseldorf to Eindhoven.

With today being the first day of the World Cup, it was certainly hectic travelling through Germany!! At the same time, we arrived safely in Eindhoven to meet with our hosts at the station.

From the station, our hosts took our bags while we took a scenic walk through the city to our lodgings. That evening, we settled into the house where we were staying, ate a nice dinner, and went to bed in preparation for tomorrow's 4 games!!
