October 3 – Reunification day for Germany

Today is Reunification day in Germany and it’s a holiday. Reunification day means that on 3rd October in 1989 the Berlin wall fall down and East and West Germany was unified.

Up with People organized morning sightseeing for us do we were split in 3 groups and we went sightseeing. Mostly I saw places which I already saw day earlier, but I heard some great legends and history stories about Erfurt.

After sightseeing, we were split in groups and went for scavenger hunt. I was with Lena and Mitch and it was fun to check some answers. Some questions, we just couldn’t find answer.

After scavenger hunt, it was lunch time and after lunch we visited former political prison in center of Erfurt where people who didn’t agree with politics were put inside. As Erfurt is part of former East Germany, many people who were more West oriented, were put in prisons. We got a chance to speak with 2 people who were in that prison because of political reasons and they talked about their experience. Prison was open in sometime in ’70 and closed in 1989. Cells were really small and it must have been horrible to be there.

After that our UWP day was over so our host family picked us up and we went together to have dinner in nice restaurant on top hill under Erfurt. It’s really nice place and you can see panorama view of Erfurt. I had really nice dinner, pasta with mushrooms and I really liked the place.
