DAY 13. DAY TRIP TO WOODLANDS.

SATURDAY 30th JUNE. Our last day in England. We went to Woodlands Theme Park for a bit of fun.
 OMG!!! Laura has no make-up on!! You look like a monster!


 
 Elena finally dared to go down the steepest slide (almost a vertical drop)...

...but she quickly regreted it: she burnt her jacket and her elbows.





 No bumper cars in Woodlands, but bumper boats are more fun.


 Hellie and her "badger"


 "Marea Verde" in Paignton. Thank you guys for your support!
 Woodlands is a place for kids, so you have to act like one if you want to have fun.


 More vertical drops for the bravest. Well done, Celia and José Luis!


 


The water slides were the best, especially the "Twister", ...
... but you took the risk of getting a big wet!
Thank you, Martin and Blanche for allowing us to have so much fun during these 2 weeks.
Thank you Olie, Cameron, Izzy, Rhiannon, Chantal and Hellie for being so nice and helpful.
We will miss you.

DAY 12. BRIXHAM BY BOAT.

Today we were supposed to have sports in the morning, but it rained last night and the grass was too wet, so we visited Brixham by boat instead.
 Our Italian friends were very happy this morning. Força Italia!
 Marco, are you cold?


 We went hiking through a very nice forest.


 Come on, kids. We don't have a lot of time.



 
 When we finally arrived at the top of Berry Head, we were able to see one of the shortest lighthouses in the world (only 5 metres high). At the same time, it is also one of the highest, since it is on top of a 58-metre cliff.
 
Oli, the "policeman", reminding us of not throwing litter in the garden


 In the afternoon Bret and Chris, two of the directors said goodbye to us and gave the students their certificates and reports from their teachers.

 Louise's class
 Susie's class.
 James' class
 Katrina's class

Thank you teachers for helping our students to improve their English.

DAY 11: BOWLING & KENTS CAVERN

 Morning walk before our bowling session


 Marcelo came first... he must have been training in Mojácar.
 Our school leaders are taking good care of us.
 Lunch break in the sun.

 Cleaning duties for being late once more.
 
 Ghost tour at Kents Cavern in the evening.

 Getting scared even before entering the caves.
