Our journey started in Frankfurt at the RheinMain airport.
We flew two hours from Frankfurt to Madrid, the capital of Spain.
After the flight we drove 2 hours to Tomelloso; it was a very hard day.
Our families brought us to our new homes. The families were very friendly. I was very tired so I went to bed.

It was our second day in Spain and we drove to Madrid. It took a very long time to reach Madrid – about 2 hours and 30 minutes. When we arrived, we had a guided tour by bus. Eva, the Spanish-coordinator, told us what we saw on our left and our right. It was a rainy day and after a 20 minute “bus-guidetour” we had to go by foot – thank you very much. We went through the city and at about 1 o’clock all students had free time. The first thing we wanted to do was to eat something – McDonalds! When we finished the lunch, we went out for shopping, but we only had 1 hour. We had to meet at the Prado museum. The Italians arrived – Ciao! We had to be at the museum at 4 o’clock. When did the teachers arrive? – At 5 o’clock – of course. In the Prado museum are many, many paintings of international-known painters and Eva explained them to us. We had 2 hours to watch them. At 7 o’clock we had free time again. The bus started at half past 8 and we arrived in Tomelloso at 11 o’clock. Everybody was very tired, so see you tomorrow!

The third day in Spain – it was a great day. In the morning we finished the work that we had started on Tuesday. At half past 12 we went to the winery in Tomelloso. We saw a lot of barrels full of wine. The teachers were going to have lunch in a restaurant and all students had been in invited to have lunch by Adrian, a Spanish pupil. We ate salad, Spanish omelette and meat. We played games and stayed at his home until 6 o’clock. Then every student went home. At 8 o’clock we met at the highschool again. The highschool gave a presentation about the Comenius-Project. Later everybody was invited to have dinner in the school – A great evening!

On Friday we drove to Toledo by bus. Toledo is a wonderful old city in Spain.
First we made a tour through Toledo and after this we had a long free time.
So we went out for shopping. Afterward we were tired and went to eat something at Mc Donald´s. Then we visited the cathedral from Toledo but it wasn’t allowed to take photos. Before we drove with the bus home we made a group photo.
When we are back in Tomelloso we went into a disco and had a lot of fun.

It was our last day in Spain. We met each other at the school in the morning to keep on working for this Blog. Everybody was very tired because of the night before. After work we went on a trip to a kind of museum. We saw where the author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra wrote his poems and letters. After this we drove to La Mancha to a lake. The drive was very stressfull because of the bad roads, many students felt sick. We saw very nice hills and a beautiful lake. When we came back to the school again, we had free time and could enjoy the last hours with our new friends and their families.
