We arrived in Madrid at about 2 o’clock at the hotel, still half asleep, but there was no time for resting as we set off straight away to see the history of Madrid and the street performers, who were hilarious (at first) until they put a fake axe to Ellie’s throat OH NO! Amongst all the exciting things we did, we visited some amazing places including Toledo, The Plaza de Toros (bull ring) and many more traditional Spanish places. After enjoying a traditional Spanish lunch of tapas in Toledo (not including the 10 that snuck off to MacDonald’s) we were set a task to discover facts about Toledo, whilst everyone was looking at street signs, Jessica Hadjimina decided it was easier to ask the public.
Despite our initial lack of enthusiasm towards the educational activities, they were actually as fun as the ice skating, bowling and the theme park – where Mr Whittle went on a ride that was so fast his hair looked like Jedward’s. Some people even experienced their first time on a rollercoaster. Overall it was a SUPERDOOPER holiday and we thank the three teachers, Ms Knox, Mrs Vega Vergara and Mr Whittle for such an amazing time. Era Fantástico! Gracias. WOOO!!!!
