Last full day, treasure hunt, ice cream, farewell party

almost time to go home

So what were the highlights, the good bits? (here’s the feedback given over an ice cream)

-          Boat trip, fun, great day; spending time with then family, getting to know them

-          Boat trip relaxing, fun, going to beach, learning new Spanish words, bonding

-          Day trips out with the group, socialising after school with everyone

-          The treasure hunt was very interesting and engaging; people nice and welcoming

-          Treasure hunt was a good team-building and cultural experience and I loved the boat trip

-          Treasure hunt was well planned and all the people were nice and entertaining here

-          Trips, activities

-          The weather, and the cakes are lush!

-          Great trips, especially Cartagena, Aguilas itself is just awesome

-          The boat trip, the beach

-          All the trips especially the boat trip, and the people

-          The boat trip, and meeting people

-          The trips have been really good, and the sights on the boat trip were amazing

-          Trips amazing, boat trip the best

-          So much prettier than England

-          Every day there was something new to try

-          Going around with your partner and going to the beach, because it is very nice

-          Being immersed in the language and being with families who are so sweet, and the beach, it is warm and the swimming is great

-          I’ve made lots of Spanish friends and being with them has made me want to further my Spanish, and loved going to the beach because weather was beautiful

     Where is there room for improvement?

-          That we could stay for longer, because we were just getting to know everyone

-          Less walking

-          Less coach trips, less time in school [what did they want, a holiday?]

-          2 weeks here, not 8/9 days

-          Spend 2 weeks here

task "buy a cake at the baker's"

task: "what's for sale here?

task: what tapas are available here?

task: "enjoy ice-cream when you've finished treasure hunt"

So... last blog entry. Party tonight, and leave Aguilas at 0730 tomorrow. Home for 1530?
From Mrs Shah and myself, we say the group have been fantastic to be with, we've had a great welcome from the Spanish School staff, and we've been treated royally. Thanks to all Ismael, Fini, Paqui, Isabel, Jose-Luis and all others we've met.


We welcome back the Spanish group with Fini and Pedro on 16 April!
