Translation of Schildknappe

Not only will the trip be a success for LIF but for many students it will be a great experience too. We do not care about the stories about us which have been published during the last few months.
You may know that most young students fly South on spring break. You can imagine how the parties look like down there, and how many drugs are consumed during this vacation. I prefer the quietness.
On the next day we took the tour to see the Peninsula. The tour itself was very boring and the guide had really not much to say that would interest me. The area was barren and completely flat.
