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.

 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.


DAY 10. NEWTON ABBOT, TEIGNMOUTH AND SPAIN VS. PORTUGAL

 This morning we visited 2 towns: Newton Abbot, which has an open-air market, and Teignmouth, a coast town near Torquay.


 Lots of rain at Teignmouth, so everybody went for a coffee, or tea, or ice cream.
 In the evening, Devon School allowed us to watch the football game: 1st semifinal, Spain vs Portugal.
 Oli and Rihannon are in our side now, so we can't lose.
 Time for penalties. Go, Spain!!
 Casillas made his first save.
 Just before the final penalty ... Luis and Miriam tried to send positive energy to Cesc Fábregas.
 YES!! WE MADE IT!!

Now we have a problem: The final will be played on Sunday evening, while we are on our way back from Alicante airport. We'll ask the students to see if they want to stop for dinner in some restaurant where we can watch at least the 2nd half. I'm sure they'll say yes. (Sorry, Elena!)

DAY 9. (TUESDAY, 2nd WEEK). LIVING COASTS.


 6.30 a.m.: Where's Paignton?

 It's clearing up now, isn't it?

 Living Coasts is a kind of zoo with sea animals (mainly birds).

Macaroni is not just a type of pasta. It's also a type of penguin.




Lidia is going to buy some lottery. What's that funny smell?
The seals had just had breakfast, so they were taking a siesta.


Everyone was happy today after checking their school results. Well done, guys!
