Slovakia

Our Spanish friends arrived  in Slovakia on Friday of thirteenth. We welcomed them in late night hours in front of the Tesco in Rožňava. At the weekend we had individual programmes with families. Some of us visited Aggtelek in Hungary. Others went to watch and cheer on the football match. The teachers had an extra programme together. On Monday the Spanish students attended our school for the first time. After school they had a walk on the square. They visited the Watch tower, the Cathedral and finally the Miner´s museum on Šafárikova street. Tuesday started with the presentations about Gandia and Spain for our students. Then they were welcomed by the mayor of Rožňava in the Town Hall. Our day continued with playing games in the gym. The next day they visited some great monuments around Rožňava like the Manor house in Betliar, Mausoleum in Krásnohorské Podhradie and the Gombasek cave. Between the visits they had a break for a picnic.  On Thursday we went hiking to Dedinky-Slovak Paradise to see Geravy and the dam. The next day was a little bit boring because the Spanish people had classes with us all day long. At the weekend we had free time and all of us spent it with families. On Monday we wanted to travel to the High Tatras but because of bad weather the trip was cancelled. On Tuesday we went to Košice, the second biggest city of Slovakia. We were very happy because we could go shopping. The next day they tasted some traditional Slovak food, a goulash. We visited a very special cave in Krásnohorská Dlhá Lúka, where we needed to wear special clothes for cave climbing. The first half of Thursday was boring because we had to work on a project and prepare some presentations but we were excited for the farewell evening party. All families came to school and we watched all our photos together and had fun with each other. Friday was the last common day with the Spanish students. We travelled with them to Budapest to say goodbye and thank them for this nice time.
