BLOG 5 (1/2): VIENA, SCHOOL TRIP

The school trip is probably one of the best experiences in our school life and I was really lucky because I could enjoy a three day school trip to Viena, the capital city of Austria. I was really excited about it and I got to train station two hours before the train arrived. The train trip took us one hour and a half but it wasn’t long for me because we had lots of fun on the train.

When we reached our destination we had  lunch at a shopping center and then we went to the hotel. I shared a room with five students and it was really cool because as you can imagine six friends in a room with an Xbox and games like FIFA and Call of Duty can’t be bad!

On the first day we made an interesting visit to the Austrian Parliament. Then we went to a cabaret where a comedian and musician made a performance which seemed to be really funny… but as  everything  was in German, for me it was a cool siesta.

The second day started with one of the coolest activities that we have done so far. It was a circuit without any lights, so it simulated that you were a blind person (they gave us the walking stick blind people use). It was very interesting and difficult because the guide (a real blind person) gave all the instructions in German. Our next activity was visiting a really cool and luxurious castle-museum, like the Selgas Palace but multiplied by ten. As a funny anecdote, I really appreciated that you are given a chair when you enter the museum so all that pain that you feel in your feet when visiting a museum does not exist there!  An amusement park was our next stop. As people that came to Barcelona last year know, I really “feel” roaller-coasters (I shout a lot) and here it wasn’t different. We only had time to go into one, but it was amazing. On this second and last night a lot of things happened, but I’d prefer to tell you about them when I am back in Spain… Sure you will be impatient! The last day of the trip will be in the next blog, there are a lot of things to tell and I prefer it this way. The pictures are from the parlament and the castle-museum respectively.
