MONDAY 9TH APRIL: CLASSES AT ENGLISH IN YORK + ORIENTATION TOUR AND MINSTER

Monday 9th April ( by Arianna )



Good morning! We woke up at 6:45 to start getting dressed up and we would meet up at 7:00 to have breakfast together. For breakfast we had a bowl of cereals and we actually had a variety of cereals to choose but I chose cheerios because they are my favorite type of cereals they also offered us to make a toast but we weren’t really confident enough to use the toaster by ourselves After breakfast we all brushed our teeth and did what we had to do in order to be at 7:45 out. 


Our mom Sharon came with us the first day to show us around how to get to the bus station and how to get from where the bus left us to school. She also started telling us a little bit about the ‘village’ where we live. We arrived at school and we waited for the remaining people to come. 



We met our teacher Eve which was super nice and they told us a little about them, they also gave us a bracelet with phone numbers just in case we got lost. We had lessons for 3 hours and 2 breaks of 15 minutes each. The first day at school was super fast and we had a lunch break from 12:30 to 13:30.
For lunch we had a sandwich, where you could choose the ingredients, a chocolate bar, some chips and a bottle of water, that would be our lunch for the rest of the week, of course they would change the chocolate bars and snacks.

When we finished lunch we had a tour around the city showing us the main streets and we visited York’s minster which is York’s cathedral, of a gothic style. After finishing our visits we had around 1 hour of free time, where we dedicated to explore a little bit and eating free samples of fudge, which by the way, was delicious.

When our free time finished they showed us how to get back home because many of us didn’t remember. When we got home, we had dinner and if I remember good I think it was pizza and chips. Then we went to my room and we talked all together as usual. Another day was gone, and way too fast.

SUNDAY 15TH: RETURN FLIGHT HOME. GOOD BYE YORK

Imagen
Sunday 15th April ( by Arianna) My alarm sounded at 4:45 as I have settled it and time was up. I was sad because I knew this trip has came to an end. I dressed up and I passed breakfast for some reason. I brushed my teeth and added the last things to my suitcase.  Our “mom” offered us some snacks which I accepted and told us goodbye. Then “our dad” took us to York where we would all meet at the bus. I sat with Guille and we talked about random things and we played parchis in the mobile phone.  The journey to Manchester was fast. When we arrived we told goodbye to our coaches and did the normal things in an airport. When we passed all the controls our teacher gave us 10 pounds ( each group of 3 ) to buy something at the airport so we decided to go to the KFC and get something. It was time to get into the plane, I was excited and the flight was really fast.  When we arrived to Madrid we passed the controls and got our luggage. Then I met my mom and w...

SATURDAY 14TH: WHITBY AND ROBIN HOOD'S BAY

Imagen
Saturday 14th April Today we went to the English sea !! We woke up at the same time as always 6:45 and did the same things as every morning. We had to be in the meeting point at 9:00 am where we would take the bus to go to the Robin’s Hood Bay which had nothing to do with Robin Hood. It took us around 1h and 20 min to get there and there we had more or less 1 hour of free time in which I went with Niurka, Sara and Chen to take pictures. It was beautiful, I loved it.  Then we went to Whitby which was at about 15 minutes by bus. The first thing we did is eating but it was kind of uncomfortable because there were gulls all around and we didn’t really relax. Then we visited the abbey of Whitby and we got down where we would have free time, the weather was so good I bought an ice cream and we were looking for fudge. After buying the fudge we went to the other part of the bridge where Alex and Elisa got a waffle and we stayed on a bench until the free time finished....
