Our trip to Estonia has been really great and interesting so far. We both have never been to Estonia before so we did not really know what to expect but after this week we got to know it a lot better.

From what we have seen, Estonia has much more nature and most things are cheaper compared to Germany. Both of us really love the landscape and even though we have been told that this is not the ideal time in the year to visit Estonia we are very impressed. Saturday we went to the moor with our host Merike, her sister and her sister`s boyfriend. It was so refreshing that we did not see any houses at all.

The Kanepi Gümnaasium is quite different to our school. One of the biggest differences is the size, for example, in the 12^th grade here there are only six and in our grade there are 114 students. We cannot imagine only having lessons with less than 10 people but we think it is better than our classes with at least 25 people because the teachers can help the individuals better.

We are so happy being guests of our host family. They are very nice and caring and the food is incredible. They also have a sauna which is more common here than it is in Germany, we used it three times this week.

Now May wants to build a sauna in her garden and we plan to take some of the food back to Germany. For example these small meatballs that we don`t have at home.

We really enjoyed our trip!
