Athens

This weekend we have one of our school trips to Athens.

Below is the report of the trip so far and some photos.

 

Day 1

The first day has a historical visit to the Acropolis and a lunch in a typical street on a lovely terrace.
In the afternoon we visited the Acropolis museum.
In the middle of the afternoon, we went back to the hotel and the students went to study, relax or do some shopping.
 
Day 2
This morning we left Athens with the coach to reach Nafplio. After 1h30 we made a stop to see the Corinthian Canal which separates the Peloponese from mainland Greece, connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf.
We did another hour of drive to reach Nafplion. We visited the fortress of Nafplion, the Palamidi castle.
To get down to the city we walked the 999 steps.
A lovely lunch was waiting for us.
We spent some time at the beach and could enjoy the nice water of the Aegean sea.
A stop to our hotel to take some energy and we had our dinner on a lovely terrace of a Greek taverna and discovered some delicious dishes.
   

Lucerne

On Friday there was a full day trip orangised to the beautiful city of Lucerne. It has preserved medieval architecture and sits amid snowcapped mountains on Lake Lucerne.

We enjoyed a stunning bus journey full of scenic views before arriving at the transport museum. This is an impressive collection of different forms from transport from their conception to modern uses. We had a guided tour here, before moving to the town centre for lunch and some time to explore the local area.
