DIARY OF GREECE

FRIDAY 20:


The adventure begins. At 9pm we were meeting at Granada airport to catch a plane to Barcelona, where we spent the first night. We said goodbye to our families and began the journey. We had a great time with luggage carts and joking with Marina because was the first time that she traveled by plane.

 SATURDAY 21:

We woke up early and went back to the airport to travel to Athens but before doing stop in Italy. It was a hard day traveling by plane, subway, but we were happy because our bags arrived to Greece and we had internet. That night we went to dinner at a typical Greek restaurant where we ate new and delicious food. The first impression of Greece was very good.

 SUNDAY 22:

Last day in the capital before traveling to Kilkis. Our ears were starting to get used to this language and we began to speak English. Throughout Sunday we visited the whole city, although in my opinion the most impressive was the Acropolis. In the afternoon we went up in cable car to the top of Athens where we could see a panoramic view of the whole city, this was amazing and very funny.

 MONDAY 23:

We got up at seven o'clock to finish preparing the suitcase and breakfast. At eight we left the hotel and take the metro to the train station. When arrived we boarded the train and after several attempts to put the suitcases we got to sit. In the six hour trip took thousands of things like we met Mary a very nice girl of Thessaloniki with which we practice English. When we arrived we caught the bus to Kilkis and began to meet some Italians.We arrived to Kilkis and we met the Greeks. The first impression was good but we were surprised they did not give two kisses to say hello. Each of us went to the house where we were staying, we met families and prepare to go to city hall. There we saw an exhibition of dances that was fine. When we went to dinner each with her Greek and then we all met at a pub where we begin to know everyone. At 12 we we went to relax after a day quite full.


TUESDAY 24:

We went to school at 9 and took a class with our Greek to see how the classes are in Greece. Then we saw a cave in the village and when we finished we went for coffee at 12 in the morning. We spent the afternoon with family and at 8 were all in school. They taught us how to make bread and play a game together. Then we were like last night we went to a pub all and before we left the house we had dinner at a pizzeria.


WENESDAY 25:

In the morning we went to a farm, where they make cheese. There we got breakfast buns and let them taste the cheese manufactured. Then went to a wine factory, where we were taught as manufactured and shown the factory. When we returned to Kilkis had the afternoon free to use it to relax and get ready for the night. At night we were partying in a room they had rented for us all, there were all Comenius students and some teachers.We had a great time!


THURSDAY 26:

On Thursday morning we went to visit the archaeological site of Vergina and then visit Thessaloniki. There we ate with the French on a burger, take a coffee at Starbucks and we dived many photos. When we got to Kilkis we prepare to go to dinner at a restaurant together. We ate traditional food and listen to live music also Greek. The food was very tasty. After, only students went to a pub and there we said goodbye to everyone.


FRIDAY 27:

On Friday morning we said goodbye to families and together with the Turkish went to school to catch the bus to return to Thessaloniki. When we arrived in Thessloniki, buy something to eat and took the train to Athens. During the six-hour trip we spent the majority of us sleeping. We arrived in Athens and after leaving our bags at the hotel where we went shopping in Plaka. At night we had dinner at a restaurant and we returned to the hotel on foot.


SATURDAY 28:

Last morning we woke up out of Spain, we woke up early and took the subway to the airport. We arrived in Barcelona eager to see our families, but knowing that this was finishing, we had done good amigos. Was difficult to find the 'Alberguín' but finally we arrived. That night we went for the last time, we ate in a very original Ethiopian restaurant, it was a experience to remember. When we end, we visited the Sagrada Familia. That night the five students and two teachers slept together in the same room, was strange but fun, although we were very tired and fell asleep soon.


SUNDAY 29:

A dream fulfilled. That day we reached our homes. We spent the morning visiting the city of Barcelona, which is really nice, Plaza Mayor, Plaza Catalunya, Ramblas, etc.. One problem was that we forgot we were in Spain and the other people there they understood us, this was funny. We ate at the McDonal and invite Europe. For the last time we boarded our bags and jumped on the plane. When we arrived in Granada, teachers had a word of thanks to us and went to reconnect with our families.
