Friendly match vs Denmark

Kaitlyn Plum & Lindy DeGeare

Today was the day of our friendly match. We woke at 8 and headed down to eat breakfast which consisted of tea, coffee, bread, cereal with warm milk, and nutella. After finishing breakfast and washing our dishes we headed up a mountain on a Tram to see the castle. It was raining cats and dogs – when we reached the top we ran for shelter and had coffee in a café.

After sightseeing at the castle we walked around town going into shops. While shopping for a while we came across an old church, went inside and looked at all of the historic statues and murals, it was very beautiful. Then we went to the Hotel Elephant for lunch where we ate soup, salad, chicken and potatoes. It was delicious!

After lunch we went to practice where we prepared for our friendly match. When practice ended we headed back to the Hostel for a resting period before the match at 7. We arrived at our match against Denmark and after a rather extended warm up, play began. We struggled to find ourselves as a team in the first game but brought the heat in the next two, winning the third. While we were playing it was interesting to hear the Danish team speak in different languages while calling out plays and hitters. Their style was very similar to ours and they were good competition.

So far we have enjoyed playing and touring in other countries…this will be an experience we will NEVER forget!!!
