Our trip in the Netherlands

STUDENTS FROM GREECE

1^st day

  The kids from the other countries were waiting us. We had dinner and then we played some traditional games of Netherlands with the others. The first day, after having breakfast, we visited a historic city, Brenda. There, we visited a protestant church and we walked the boardwalks with the shops. After, because it was cold, we drank hot tea in a café. An hour later we went back to the guest house.

2^nd day

  We woke up at six at o’ clock because we had to present our work. After having breakfast, the travel bus transported us to Cambreur College where we stayed till 4 o’ clock. In addition to that, we learned about the rules of that school. Moreover, we attended a biology class. After that, we went back to the guest house and we had some free time. We had dinner and then we continued the presentations. Finally, we went to bed.

3^rd day

The next day we visited Cambreur College. Although it was the second time we had been there, we hadn’t get used to it yet. We entered one of the buildings where we didn’t spend too much time. We learnt how to use e-twining space and we answered some questions. After we were done we went to a wonderful park which named “De efteling”. First of all we took lots of pictures and then we decided to do as many activities as possible. We did numerous activities including riding rollercoasters, visiting Aladdin’s house and watching a play. We all had so much fun the best thing was Laura’s company. We went back to the guest house and after having some free time we watched a film and played a game with the other students. Finally, we went straight to bed.

6^th day

The 5^th day started with us having breakfast and then visiting Amsterdam which despite the fact that it is a bid city it isn’t as crowded as Athens. Soon we started exploring the city, our first stop was the channels which is a characteristic feature of this country. The boat we used was equipped with a certain advice which had recorded information about the channels themselves and many buildings including their history and architecture. Then we were given the opportunity to visit the famous museum of Vincent Van Gogh who happens to be Tina’s favorite painter and whom she’s admired most of her life not only for his work but also for the fact that he turned his depression into something so beautiful that inspired a lot of people. After our visit to the museum we went back to the guest house were we had some free time followed by dinner. Since it was our last night in the Netherlands our teachers divided us in three teams and we were asked to write down what we gained from this trip. In addition, we made some t-shirts in which we expressed our thoughts about every single one of the students before and after meeting them. Last but least, we had a small party and after that we got together and watched a thriller movie. Unfortunately, the Spanish students had to leave a little after midnight so we said goodbye and slept the rest of the night through.

6^th day

The next day we woke up in a bad mood because it would be our last night in the Netherlands. After preparing our suitcases, we had breakfast. Later, we said goodbye to the rest of the kids and we made for the airport, where we bought some souvenirs. Then, we entered the plane knowing that we would miss this country.
