TRIP TO ITALY

MEMORIES WRITTEN BY THE STUDENTS AFTER THE VISIT TO ITALY




Polish Students memories from Naples

Trip to Naples was one of the best experience in my life. All of us met such great and nice people. First day was very difficult and hard because we had to spend all day with our new families without our friends. But it wasn’t so scary like we thought. For the whole days we were together. Not only with friends from Poland but with from other countries too. We were spending all days together talking (in English of course), laughing, playing and just enjoying the time. The worst moment came when we had to say goodbye to Naples, Italy and our new friends who are part of us now. We feel like a big family. Hardly everyone was crying because we became someone important for us. We hope we’ll meet again soon!

A trip to Italy I'll remember very well. It is amazing how you can miss people from other country after one week. Everyone who took part in project was very friendly and had positive attitude. In Italy I really liked every place we were, such as Pompei or Amalfi. Of course, we tried traditional Italian food, which was amazing. I love that dinners in Italy consists of a lot of dishes. I liked also living with one of participant of Erasmus+ project and his family. This way I could experience differences between how people live everyday in Italy and in Poland. From this trip I learned a lot of things, such as some words in a lot of languages. I also improved my fluency in speaking English.

I spent the beginning of April with fantastic people from Naples  and peolpe  from Erasmus project... Everyone was amazing. In my opinion every day was different and exciting but I will never forget the last day when everybody  met together in "VILLA MINIERI " it was the last day of our stay in Italy . We became real friends  and realized that this is the end of this incredible adventure...

 I couldn't wait for this trip to Naples, Italy, to meet with people from other countries. The journey was a bit tiring, as we had got up at 3 AM, flew to Munich and then to Naples, but it was worth it. It is always great experience to know new people, but this one was the greatest. Everyone was very friendly, we had fun while spending time with each other. Another fantastic thing about this trip was visiting such beautiful places like Amalfi, Pompei, Sarno and an old city as Naples. We ate a lot of Napolitan dishes such as Gnochi, Neapolitan pizza, mozzarella, ice cream and many others. For me, it was the best trip I have ever been to and I hope that we will meet each other again.

Trip to Naples was an amazing experience. I was afraid that I won’t get along with family I was going to live but they turned out to be nice and friendly. In Italy, people were great and I miss all of them. They took us for pizza and ice cream and then to restaurant. We saw how people are living in Italy. Italians eat big amounts of food and for me it was too much. I visited the beautiful places such as Pompeii and Amalfi. My ability to use the English language increased due to conversations with people from other countries. The most difficult thing was to leave all those people and places. I hope they will visit us in Poland soon!

MEMORIES FROM AUSTRIA

On Tuesday the 5^th, April we started our trip to Naples. At first we met us at the railroad station in ´´Wels´´ to ´´Salzburg´´. When we arrived ´´Salzburg´´ we took a bus to ´´München´´ to the airport. The flight was good and soon we arrived Naples. We were already eagerly awaited at the airport in Italy. I stayed at a boy called Christian. He, his best friend, his mother and his brother took me to Chris (Christian) home. On the first day they show me a little bit from Afrangola. But soon we went home and go to sleep. 

On Wednesday the 6^th, April we went to the school where we got presented a lecture. After the lecture we got a great big meal. When we finished we make groups. The first group were playing volleyball and the second group were programming an internet page about healthy lifestyle. Later we could still enjoy the evening with his friends and his family. 

On Thursday the 7^th, April we took two buses to Amalfi and then to Pompeii. It was funny because one bus do not work. The second door was open and when the bus driver closed the door and drive ten meters on the door were just opened we all laugh.
Amalfi: It is one of the most beautiful places that i have ever seen.
Pompeii: Is a very big and a great old ´´town´´ and it was very interesting but the leader guide was very funny he did not speak English and he did not speak Italian. He speaks a mix of these two languages and nobody understands him.
After some children (Chris and I also) went to a pizzeria without the teachers.

On Friday the 8^th, April we visit a seed factory this was cool to see how the tomato comes in cans and in glasses and after we tasted them. They tasted sweet and good. Later we eat at the country club… OH MY GOD THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD!!!!! But it was so good.
After we drive to a workshop to the Villa Minieri hotel and baking ecological cookies. 

On Saturday the 9^th, April we drive to the beach to make sports there. We made a volleyball und football match. Unfortunately Austria lost in all two games. And some kids went into the sea but for me it was to cold. In the evening we were free Chris and I met us with his friends and other young people from the project in the ice cream bar it is called ´´ La Schmetta´´. It was the best ice cream i have ever eaten (*o*). 

On Sunday the 10^th, April we visit the town Naples. We looked at the old churches, they were beautiful but I personally found the alleys more beautiful. After this trip we made us beautiful because all from the project met us the last time and in this evening we have to say goodbye. We drive with the bus to the hotel Villa Minieri and eat like kings it was so beautiful there. After the dinner we all went into the disco next to the dinner room. 

Later when we arrived the school it was a very sad moment because we have to say goodbye. So much people were crying also the boys and it was strange because we know that we all see us not anymore again. 

The last night at Chris place was great we all have so much fun and went late into the bed.

On Monday the 11^th, April was a sad day it was the last day in Naples. Chris and I cried and then we went to the check in. We flied back to ´´München´´ and took the next train to ´´Passau´´ and someone took us from ´´Passau´´ to our school home. 

This week was the best trip in my life, I hope I will see the the Italian people once again. 

 Thank you for this wonderful project!!
