Abschlußabend

Today is our last day here in Mauterndorf! We had a great morning skiing on the slopes of St. Michael, which is on the opposite side of Grosseck/Speiereck. We stopped for lunch on a ski hut directly off the trail near the end of the lift. The hut was particularly nice, and everyone was able to enjoy a little bit to drink and eat. After lunch, we skied over to the other side of the mountain where we had been for the past few days. While the trails there are a bit longer and more interesting, they had become very icy with all the use and strong wind. When everyone had had enough, we hopped on the bus back to the Villa for a short pause before dinner. After everyone had eaten, we set off on one last night walk through the fields, by one of the churches, and then up to the nearby castle. At the castle we took advantage of the cafe-restaurant: Glühwein for the adults and hot cocoa for the kids. Guess who showed up?? A Gespent - Ghost!!! He spooked us all and took Christian hostage! Johannes was brave enough to take on the ghost and fight to set his classmate free. Unfortunately the ghost then grabbed Johannes and tossed him in the nearby stocks. He wouldn't let Johannes go until one of the girls gave him a kiss. Luckily, Denise came to the rescue! Soon everything was back to normal and all were smiling. After another short walk through the clear night, we were back home. Since it was the last night, the students all partied together and spent the last hours of the day in our Disco.
