After a long-long trip our car arrived at 9 in the everning in Dortmund, where we fortunatly met Klaus and went to a youth hostel.

Despite of our tiredness we wanted to see the Germany-Turkey football match, so wew had to hurry if we wanted to see it. It was so good to see, that turkish and german celebrated toghether, we celebrated too:





and drank our first german bier in Germany!
We were looking forward to the upcoming days.

Nordkirchen

We followed Klaus to Nordkirchen with a few delays, but finally we arrived to the castle of Nordkirchen, to the Versailles of Westfalia. Just the first impressions were simply embrassing: as we seen from the car the baroque-style buildings whith the parks and sculptures, we were totally amazed.

We met with the bulgarians, and tryed to speak bulgarish...


In a few minutes we got the accomodations, with single-rooms in the nearby and prepared ourselves, as from 11 o'clock would be the beginning of the rehesals. Our rehersal building belonged to the baroque style monuments of the Castle, with portraits of Westfalian royals and nobles inside. Our conductor, Reinhard Fehling presented himself, we got the notes of and started to sing.

After a "lecker" lunch and the afternoon's rehersals we made a walk around the castle. It was a really great first day!











This everning at the parking place Reinhard invited us to a bottle of Bier...it was so good to feel that we could sing Beatles and international folk songs...Reinhard has also played guitar(it's remaining unforgottable : Ring of fire of Johnny Cash). That day was also the birthday of two singers. We have also "Alles gute..." gelernt. And Berit has shown her skills in playing guitar-and singing.
Nice days, we hardly feeled to have found the in the Paradise lost during Nordkirchen days. And every day was better.

Guitar day

In the afternoon we went to a little tour in the castle-park...



























We were looking forward to the night, when we could sing together.
