Szvoboda
Our first day according to Krisztian Szvoboda We got up at 6 o’clock in France, in a simple hotel, but it was good enough. We collected our bags and got into the bus. It took only ten minutes and we arrived at the Channel and Tunnel. It is a type of bridge under the sea. The bus got in a train. After 45 minutes we arrived in England. We saw the place of St. Thomas Becket’s martyrdom. It was so interesting. When we finished here we got 1 hour to do anything in the street. Next we went to Leeds Castle. There was a beautiful park, and we saw many kinds of birds. The castle was also exciting. After we went back to the bus it started to rain. But we were very lucky, because all ... read more
Are you hungry?
Our third night away from home we spent at our lodging for four nights, Combe Haven Holiday Park, in historic Hastings. We lived in very nice little mobile homes, fitted with kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, heaters, living rooms etc. Each home had a teacher supervisor living with the students. The holiday park was great too, but we had little time to enjoy all the facilities because of the packed program. We went shopping to a great supermarket called Sainsbury's and bought all the food we needed and more. I lived in the "boy" house where we had spaghetti, Chinese, pizza, cake, chocolate, sausage and more to eat (not all at one time). ... read more
