Gepatschferner

Wow! We just noticed that time flies when you are having fun with special people from around the world. It is already Friday and we cannot believe that we have learnt so many interesting things. So this is how our awesome Friday went:

At 8:00 a.m. we enjoyed a very delicious Austrian breakfast this was followed by our 3 hour hike at 9:00 a.m. that showed us the great scenery of the region we are currently staying in. We went to the glacier tongue at the Gepatschferner with Kay Helfricht, a glacier expert from the university of Innsbruck.

Ölgrubenjoch

We learnt a lot from Kay and the glacier was very beautiful, it was a very breathtaking moment for us! The walk back was very peaceful as we separated and some of our group members engaged in another journey to see a rock at the Ölgrubenjoch, we believe it was a wonderful sight.

The whole hike took approximately 6 hours. Then we all took a nap before our great dinner. This was followed by the simulation game which brewed a lot of excitement as we all gave life to our differenz characters, the simulation game has helped us think more about the importance of political, economical and social understanding when it comes to world decisions.
