FIRST DAY!

FAST AND SCOTTISH

In the morning all the Spanish students met in the EasyJet counter at the airport, while we were waiting for the flight. Finally, we got on the plane at five pm and we arrive to Edinburgh at 7 o’clock. It wasn’t the perfect flight because there were some turbulences, but we survived!

Then we had to run through the airport with all the luggage. However, Kira wasn’t fast enough, but that didn’t matter because we had to wait for Douglas. Once he arrived, we were told to be as fast as possible because we didn’t have much time left. When we were all in the car it took us one hour to get to the Tesco

of Dundee.

Ignacio: My host families first impression was good and I was exited because I had already met them the year before when I stayed over at Cath’s house (host) with my friend Guillermo.

Alfredo: At first when I met Caroline(host) I was impressed because of her accent. However as I started to talk with her it took me less than I thought to understand her. I love to say that she is one of the kindest people I have ever been with in my whole life. She knows how to talk with shy people like me. I was also surprised that there was a girl living with her. She resulted to be a nice and friendly person who loves Lexi.

Lexi is Caroline’s grandson’s dog. You won’t know any other dog in the world that snores more than Lexi!!

 THE LOGROÑESES

We started our journey from Logroño at 9:00 am to Madrid. When we arrived to Madrid, particularly to the airport we met the rest of the students that were going to be with us.

The logroñenses realised that most of the people were from Madrid, so we spent the journey comparing both cities.

The trip had some difficulties, for example there were turbulences and Sandra shouted because she thought she was going to die. There were also some funny things like for example when we landed in Edinburgh, Isabel couldn’t hear anything because of the pressure!

After there was a one hour delay because the car company was awful and they gave us the vehicle 45 minutes later (Gavin was soooo grumpy). We finally arrived to Dundee and we met our host families. Sandra’s family were very nice, they have two sons. The mother is Australian and Sandra can understand her better than the husband who is Scottish!

Isabel’s family consists of a woman and her black dog. She is a primary teacher so she talks slowly and Isabel can understand her much better.

ROAD TO DUNDEE

We met at Madrid airport, all of us were really nervous as there were new faces but we all felt exited for the experience we were going to have.

Our journey began! Firstly, we had to check in and made sure our suitcases weren’t over the weight. Then, we went through security quickly. Unfortunately, our flight was delayed. Despite the bad news we decided to go and buy some food. After wat seemed like ages, we were the first ones to board but unluckily we got on a bus and waited for 15 minutes just to drive around to the back of the plane. What about the environment!?

 At 5 we were finally on the plane, and it took a lot of time for it to take off. Once In the air, some of us were sleeping and others were stressing out because the plane wouldn’t stop moving as there were plenty turbulences. After two hours and a half we arrived to Edinburgh. Once we picked up the suitcases, the group got split up: some went to get a rented car, others were picked up by Douglas and a lucky lady was picked up her host family. Eventually, all of us were settled down in our respective homes. The host families were very welcoming, and they made us feel like home. 

Dinner was delicious! In conclusion, we had an amazing first at ad we can’t wait for the rest of the trip!
