Barcelona
Day one: we all gathered at the school at a quarter to one. we all hopped onto the bus and started the journey to the airport. We arrived at the airport at around 3:30-4 , we swiftly made our way to security. We all got through fine except one girl lost her boarding pass which was a bit stressful. We then had a small bit of free time before we had to head to our gate. We all had our breakfast then after the early start. We all made it to the gate on time surprisingly and we made our way to Barcelona. We headed to passport control and ran to the bathrooms to change our jeans into shorts. When i first stepped outside the airport I could feel the warm air hitting my body. Our bus pulled up and we all hopped on. As we made our way to a science museum there was a tour guide on the bus telling us about all the monuments. We arrived at the science museum to be honest I was more interested in eating and sitting outside than I was in the actual museum. We didn't stay there too long thankfully. We next went on a walking tour in Barcelona this was the first time we actually got to see what it was like over there. As soon as I hopped of the bus I could tell that this city is a city for tourists. There were I <3 Barcelona clothing everywhere. We looked at some amazing architecture by Gaudi and just walked around. We had about an hour of free time in the city which i obviously used to go shopping. Our day was far from finished. We headed up to the cable carts. The view from the cable carts was spectacular, But you could tell others were not enjoying it as much as I was. it was finally time to head to the hotel we had some time to find our rooms and get ready for our dinner. We headed down absolutely starving to our disappointment of a dinner. our last activity of the day had come Bowling, everyone was wrecked we had been up for over 24 hours but we still made our best efforts to hit a strike .
Day 2: We were awoken at 8 o clock to be down at breakfast at 8:30. We made it down and thankfully it wasn't as bad as the dinner had been. we made our way to the Gaudi museum. We got the chance to see recreations of gaudis work and how talented of a man he was. We then had an hour free time to look around and grab a bite to eat. There was also shops there so we got to have a look around. We got back on the coach and headed to the most exciting part of the trip portaventura. we spent a while there. There were a lot of rides big ones small ones fast ones and slow ones. It was definitely the highlight of my trip. We went back to the hotel and we could choose between going to the beach or the pool. i Stayed at the hotel pool and layed out to get a tan. We then had our dinner and as our evening activity we got to go on a walk around the town. We went to sleep at 11.
Day 3: We were awoken at 8 o clock we headed down for a bite to eat. We had to pack all our stuff and leave the hotel with our luggage at 10. We headed straight to the Tarragona Cathedral. We then got onto our coach and headed to camp nou stadium. This was perfect for the lads but it wasn't so much my cup of tea. After camp nou we headed to a shopping center it didn't have too many great shops so i spent my time eating McDonalds. Our trip then came to a close. We headed to the airport and got on the plane back to Ireland. I really enjoyed this trip and found it a very good way to bond with all the people in my year.
