Final results

Nikolaus Turnier 2010

The 2nd of December, we went to Germany from Bilbao's airport. The flight took off at 15.30 more or less; it was delayed because of the bad weather in Frankfurt. We arrive there at 6 o'clock in the afternoon and after waiting a few hours at the airport, we took the second plane, which was going to Nuremberg at 9 o'clock. When we arrived, some responsible of the tournament came to pick us up from Sulbach-rosenberg with two vans, they were really kind. After one hour of traveling with them, we arrived at the hotel where we stay the next three days.

The hotel wasn´t big but it was nice. The rooms were large enough and comfortable because we were just two person in each room. The hotel was located in the center of the village and ten minutes away from the sportclomplex, so we could visit without problems. The village had wonderful views that made the cold from outside disappear. We were amazed by the long tracks around the frozen lake.
Although the temperature was very low, the little humidity helps to put up with the cold and as in every establishment and in our hotel was a central heating we weren’t cold. Anyway no had to wrap up warm the day we went to visit Nuremberg where some feet finished frozen. It worth the visit to Nuremberg, as it’s a city with a good geographical location and attractive to visit, because of its monuments and history. Among the things we visited as its traditional in the central Europe the Christmas market, which is full of magnificent articles that you can buy or simply see them. After being all the morning scouring the whole city trough its beautiful streets, we had rest in a restaurant while we eat and take shelter from the cold

On Saturday, the 4th of December the championship began. There we won two matches, so we classify to the next stage. When the day finished, at night, we met all the teams in a nice restaurant and after a tasty dinner, every team made a performance that had already prepared. We danced a typical dance from the north called, “Bikote dantza”. We took some players from some teams to dance we us, so that they could learn it, and we must say that it was a very successful dance, everybody liked it. Some players wanted to dance it again, and a trainer took the CD for him!
We were very lucky because of the weather; we didn’t have any problems to arrive to Nuremberg or to return to Bilbao the 6th of December.
The 6th, we woke up really early, to go to the airport. There we stayed most of the morning, thinking about how exited this trip has been. Both of the flights hadn’t any problems, knowing that the air traffic controls were on strike.
It's been a great championship. On every side on the sports side because we placed 4th and it was a high ranked tournament and also on the recreational side since we got to visit a country like Germany!
