LAKE GARDA AND SORRENTO YEAR 10 TRIP 1st - 15th April 2006 Diario di Bordo
DAY OF ARRIVAL: WALK TO THE CROSS & WALK TO THE LAKE What a TREK!!! I swear we walked for like an hour. Loving our singing. This is going to be a right good holiday. My stomach is going to be fat from laughing. xxx Jordan
DAY TWO: VISIT TO VERONA What a good day! Running through the square, singing…everyone staring at us…as we are so famous wheey! In the Arena, falling over and so many photos taken of us by randomers. Ha ha! We love it!!! xxx Kirstie and Gemma
Our trip to Verona was exciting, visited Juliette’s balcony, and we were all writing on the wall who we love! Lucy and Chloe
DAY THREE (AM): DESENZANO MARKET Today was exciting my friends and I met two friends we don’t know their names. One was a really nice waiter and one gave me a discount. I learnt two phrases: “ Posso avere uno sconto” and “vorrei uno sconto” I bought two bracelets for my younger brothers. They were a bit stingy on the discount. Xxx Francesca Today was great because we met a really nice waiter. We took pictures on the rocks in front of the beautiful view. It was so much fun lol! Practised our Italian and got some bargains while shopping. Nicola and Rachel
DAY THREE (PM): VISIT TO PADOVA Ciao, Padova was fun especially Myma and I running around the grass – that was funny and we turned some heads. The ice cream was very tasty! Hmmm!! Just learnt a groovy song (Oh Bella Ciao!) on the coach with Mrs Esposito!! Looking forward to Sorrento tomorrow! Rachel
Holly, Jessica, Laura, Tasha, Amber and me went to Spar to buy some food. However, while I was looking at apples, the rest of the group went off to find a pizzeria, and left me. I went to buy my apple (I found out I had to scan it myself, but didn’t) I walked out into the street and there was no-one about. They had all left me. 7 minutes later I saw a group of girls running towards me remembering where they had left me. (Apple was good though!). Xxx Zoe
DAY FOUR: TRANSFER TO SORRENTO & KARAOKE & DISCO NIGHT Hi! Clare and Jade here! Tonight was very funny in the karaoke/disco place. When we got there we were all dancing and singing, it was such a good evening! Wish it could last forever!!! Clare & Jade xxx
DAY FIVE: VISIT TO NAPLES & DISCO IN SORRENTO Hey, Naples was a fun day out but I was a little scared of the gipsy children asking for money and ice-creams. I enjoyed the free time as the shops were cool and I bought yet ANOTHER bag! Oh well life goes on! Love you, Rachel xxx
DAY SIX: VISIT TO CASERTA - “ROYAL PALACE” Hey! Today was hhmmm…how shall you say AMUSING! The Royal Palace and gardens were beautiful, we really enjoyed ourselves and got tanned as well! Then lunch! Alessandra stole my CHIPS! How big did that pizza want to be? Then shopping was great!
DAY SEVEN: DAY IN CAPRI Capri was brilliant! Lovely view! The beach was perfect like the ones on films but I got lobstered (burnt) and now I have red arms and white shoulders Erin
Capri was a laugh, and we especially liked the boat rides: we all got a seat, and the weather was lovely! All got a nice tan! Holly and Jess xxx
DAY EIGHT: PALMS SUNDAY MASS & VISIT TO POMPEI & TARANTELLA SHOW AND DISCO Church was interesting, but I didn’t understand what the priest was saying. Then we had to collect a piece of olive tree and were told we weren’t allowed to throw it away but had to take it home. Pompeii was nice , I like learning about history and I remembered some of it from my history class about Vesuvius and how the piroclastic flow covered the city in ash and I am amazed how it has all been found. At night we went to watch a Tarantella show and it was great! The drummer reminded me of Billy Connolly and when he was playing the drums he made funny faces. The old man was good too and the girl had a fantastic voice! The disco was fun too!!! Love, Erin
Myma here online! So far on this trip Sorrento was the best!!! I hate that we are leaving, it’s such a disappointment… Everyone has got a lot closer on the trip. Got a lot of new friends! Love you all, Myma
DAY TEN: VISIT TO BERGAMO Hey Holly and Jess here! Bergamo was interesting, we visited the old town and then went to do more shopping: we went in the Primark of Italy which was cool but English Primark is better! Love, Holly and Jess xxx
DAY ELEVEN: DAY IN GARDALAND Hey hey hey! Well today was absolutely breathtaking as Zoe would say! It was so fun! The dolphin show was so sweet and there was a security guard who looked like the Man in Black! Ice skating show was good, brought back memories from something else LOL! It was sooo good today!!! Love, Holly and Jess xxx
Today was the best day by far on this trip cause we went to Gardaland! The rides were good especially Blue Tornado but I think my voice is going from all the screaming LOL!!! We also went on the Carousel: it was the best ride in the world…joking man!!! We watched the dolphin show which was good but not as good as the ice skating . Pity that the same bloke fell over twice I felt well sorry for him. Love, Francesca
DAY TWELVE: VISIT TO SALO’ & BOAT TRIP ON LAKE GARDA AND SIRMIONE & TALENT SHOW I think that Salo’ is a lovely place and the shopping there was great! The boat trip was very good and relaxing. The talent show was great! Our dance to Moulin Rouge was such a laugh, we all dressed up, especially Olivia in her corset and Jordan in that lovely top which I want! LOL! Then the Plastics doing their dance, and Yvonne had to sing James Blunt but she was really good , well done! Overall I think the trip was brilliant don’t want to go home and then back to school with the tests! Erin
PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL WHEN ON THE BOAT TRIP ON LAKE GARDA….
A DANGEROUS AND TERRIFYING CREATURE LIVES AT THE DARK DEPTHS OF THE LAKE….
DAY THIRTEEN: MANERBA MARKET AND DEPARTURE Ciao ciao! Hiya! Jade and Clare here! Wow! Our last day! It feels like we have been away for ages but at the same time it has gone so quickly! This was a chilled out day, we just sunbathed around the pool and went to the market to spend our last 20€! In the market us and Francesca met the same market man that we had seen before in another market so we said Ciao! Me (Clare), Jade, Erin, Myma and Francesca danced in the basement and did another version of Moulin Rouge from the talent show last night. After our last meal (with Viennetta ice-cream-wooo!) we are on the coach going home and looking back at our holiday. It’s been really fun – shopping and getting closer to friends. We are so glad we came because we have had so many laughs… GRAZIE and ARRIVEDERCI!!!!!! Lots of love, Claire and Jade xxx
Hey hey! Holly and Jess here! Just reminiscing on the coach about the great trip! Shame it’s all over but it will be nice to finally see our families again! We had some of the best times in this trip but the best part was definitely Sorrento! Wow where do we start… it has been unbelievable from Verona right until the sunbathing today! Everyone has become so close, we all have made new friends with people we would never usually talk to! We have all been taught different lessons being around different people and we have learnt a lot about ourselves. I hope no-one forgets the days we have had together, it will stick with us forever. We will never get to do it again (maybe new years eve?) but we made the most of it! Wow totally changing the subject… how much do Italians eat??? Unbelievable! The trip was soooo good! Thanks Mrs Esposito and Alessandra for taking us! All our love, Holly and Jessica xxx
Hiya Nicola here, This trip has been great fun! I’ m so glad I could come because if I didn’t I would have missed out on so many laughs! I think every one has got much closer since this trip. My favourite part was Gardaland – can’t believe I went on upside down rides (which I have never done before) they were so fun! Thanks to Myma getting me on them! Love Nicola xxx Sorrento 06 was excellent! We learnt loads of new phrases “vorrei uno sconto per favore”, “vorrei dell’acqua naturale per favore”. We met lots of new people and everyone enjoyed themselves. Everyone has become closer to each other. Lots of us tried to learn our Italian orals by the pool, hope we all do well! Thank you for all you have done, we all really appreciate it! We are going to miss being around everyone! Thanks again to Mrs Esposito and Alessandra and coach drivers! Lots of hugs and kisses from Melissa, Kat, Olivia, Sasha, Jordan H and Yvonne xxx
We would strongly recommend this trip to all of the year 10’s in future it is well worth it!!! Love from year 10 pupils 2006
