Barcelona - part 1

I'm back from Barcelona =) I had an awesome week, really tiring, but so much fun!
The week went by really fast. We did so much in only a few days, it's gonna take a while to write an entire report. I started today, with the first two days. The rest will follow tomorrow i hope. Enjoy, and please don't mind all the spelling mistakes I probably made. I'm still tired okay? hehe.
Oh yeah, pics coming soon too!

Here we go:

Saturday was a stressful day for me. I don’t like packing. Not at all. But with mom’s help, I eventually managed to get everything I needed in the suitcase.
Then at 4.30 in the afternoon mom prepared me some dinner, and I was ready to go. We arrived at school, me feeling quite stupid for having so much luggage for just a week. In case you wanted to know, this is what I brought: my suitcase, a backpack with food, a cushion (for sleeping in the bus), a bag (with cellphone, wallet, mp3player,…), and another bag with my bikini and a towel. I was quite relieved when I saw Ilke who had brought almost as much stuff as I had.

It took about 45 minutes for everybody to arrive and put their luggage in the buses. Then finally, at about 6.30, we left, parents waving and trying to spot their sons and daughters in the buses.

I don’t remember that much of the beginning of the trip. I do remember that my friend taught me how to solve a sudoku =) So for all you people laughing at me because I couldnt do it before: Nah! I’m smarter than you think!
Anyway, something I do remember is that I didn’t get much sleep on that bus. Neither did Ilke, and I ended up sitting between Ilke and Steve who were playing golf on their (bluetooth) cell phone.

Then the next morning at 7.30 we arrived in France, at the Pont du Gard. We ate the breakfast we had brought (squached sandwiches, yummie!) and we were allowed to swim in the (icecold) river if we wanted. Even though I had brought my bikini, I really didn’t feel like doing that lol. So we just watched the other people jumping in the water.
Then at 9 we had to get back on the bus, and we drove to Les Beaux-de-Provence. This is a little village with some kind of a medieval castle and ruins. After looking around, we had two hours left to look at the cute shops in the village and get something to eat. Then at 12 we had to get in the bus once again, for a 6-hour drive to Barcelona. I don’t really remember that much about that trip anymore either, but I do remember that it was boring. Oh, and before I forget: French toilets suck! lol

Then at 7.30 we finally arrived in Barcelona :D Our teacher gave us the key of our room, and we had half an hour before we were expected in the “dining room”. Me, Ilke and Ellen shared a room, which was very nice and, according to other people, very big. Dinner in the hotel was very good =) Then after dinner we had some more time to un-pack, and at 9.30 we went for a walk, and I got my first impression of the city: very big, and very beautiful =)

Then we got back at the hotel, had some trouble waking Ilke up (she had to open the door to let us in our room) and then finally went to bed.

To be continued ... lol =)
