Rhineland 2025 visit is underway! We breezed through passport control and caught an earlier crossing to Dunkirk. On the road to Brussels already! Los geht’s!

“We left the Belgian border after taking a break, and we are on our way to Cologne.”

We have arrived in Cologne and are checking into our accommodation.

We’ve had a busy day today starting off at the Marksburg Castle, followed by a relaxing River Rhine cruise.

Just finished our Rodelbahn experience and now off to Koblenz!

We finished up yesterday with the cable car in Koblenz over the Deutsches Eck and satisfied our hunger at our local McDonalds. Today we enjoyed our extra hour in bed and are now on our way to Bayer Leverkusen - the Werkself!

We also went to Chocolate factory and ate a dinner at the restaurant. All students had good time.

We started the day with a visit to Leverkusen FC, currently fifth in the Bundesliga. We toured the stadium, press room, and VIP areas. Just as we were preparing to leave, the players arrived for their match, which they went on to win 2–0.

Afterwards, we explored the town, taking a walk along the river and into the city center. The children had an hour to enjoy the beautiful architecture and cobbled streets on their own.

Next, we visited the Chocolate Factory, followed by a trip to the majestic Cologne Cathedral (the Dom). We ended the day by climbing the tower—some of the students even managed all 533 steps to the top!

We finished the day by giving the students another hour for shopping and enjoying a meal by the River Rhine. All the students had a wonderful time.

We’ve checked out of the hotel/hostel and are on the bus heading towards Dunkirk. We’ll update you en route.

We are on the ferry heading to Dover, and the students are having a hot meal on board.

We’ve arrived safely in Dover and are now on the bus heading back to Vyners School. Our estimated arrival time is 19:50. If there are any changes to the ETA, we’ll post an update here.

ETA Update: 
The estimated time of arrival at the school is 19:30 A kind reminder: please avoid parking in the area where the bus picked up the children, to ensure a quick turnaround and maintain safety.
