A day in the life of a Eurocamp student ...
SATURDAY May 17th
It
was the last day in Vienna, and we didn`t want to go to Bilbao because we were
having a nice time. We made lots of friends (Specially Slovenians), and we
wanted to get up very early so we could say goodbye to them. Some of us were
able to get up, but not others.
Our
teachers told us to finish packing our suitcase, and then, we had breakfast. In
the morning, we met at the entrance of Youth Hostel, and there was Stephan. He
was our friend and he decided to go with us. In addition, we took some photos
and we got his phone number.
Our
flight took 3hours to arrive to Madrid`s Airport (Barajas). As it was late and
we were hungry, we ate at Mc`Donalds. At the table, there was a game projected
with a beamer. After lunch, we found a place where we could charge our
Smartphone’s and also, we could spend our time calling our relatives. We had
free time until 7 P.m. and them, we started doing this essay. Our journey to
Bilbao took an hour. And there, we had our relatives to take us home.
This
has been a great experience because even if some of us did not know how to
speak English well, we were able to communicate with them. We will never forget
this week!!

FRIDAY 16 May
This day started by waking up earlier than usual because it
was the presentation day.
First of all, de took the tram and de went to The Franz
Schubert Europa Schule. When we arrived there, some students showed us their
school, which was huge. After that, they gave us 3 options: playing soccer,
watching a film, or playing table football. We all had a great time during
these 2 hours!!!
At 12 o'clock, we had lunch. Later on, we started with
different presentations. To introduce our country, we chose a different an
original way. We made a video showing different places of the Basque Country.
We also dances a popular Basque dance calles 'Agurra'. We strongly believe that
our presentation was really good and people liked it.
Then, prepares a stand and tried typical food from other
countries such as: Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Austria. It was great, and
our stand was a great success. After all that, the Slovenians and us started
singing popular songs from each country. Finally, we went to the hostel and we
stayed in the noise room. We had a really good time with the Slovenian during
all the afternoon; like we did the day before. They were really friendly so at
half past 11 we were extremely sad because it was time to say goodbye.

After taking breakfast on a rainy and windy day, we
went to take the train to Schönbrunn. We had two hours to visit the outside of
the palace. The palace was the place where royal family lived, specially
princess Sissi.
Afterwards, as the weather wasn’t very good, we
went to the aquarium, instead of going to the zoo.Later, in the aquarium, we saw different types of species of animals. There were all types of terrestrial animals, monkeys and birds to white sharks. Firstly, the aquarium was divided in 8 floors. On each floor there were rare animals. The most impressive animals were on the floor of the spiders and the monkeys.
We finished our visit very early. This is why we
went to the shopping mall. Actually, we had dinner there by eight o’clock, we
were in the noise room which we explained before. Beforehand, the day was so
perfect, that we wanted to repeat it.

May 14th
First we got up and we had a
fantastic breakfast at the Youth Hostel. All the students taking part in the Eurocamp
met at reception and all together we went to visit Vienna, a very beautiful city.
We visited many wonderful places such as St. Stephen’s cathedral, which was
amazing. Then, we also visited the Time Travel museum that was fascinating. We all liked it because it was a different
museum, we learnt about the boring history of Austria in a funny way.
Afterwards, we had to fill in a sheet with information about the most popular
monuments in Vienna. It was written in German and we didn't understand
anything, so in order to do it we asked our Eurocamp friends for help. To
finish with, we went shopping to the shopping mall, everything was very
expensive so we only bought some souvenirs for our family.
This Eurocamp experience in Vienna has been great. Thank you for giving us this opportunity because it has been an unforgettable week!!

Tuesday, May
13th
It was the first time we woke up in the hostel in Vienna. It was also the first time we had breakfast and we can say that it was the best meal we had in the hostel during our stay.
This was also the first day we went to take a tour in Vienna. We went on a boat trip on the Danube river. This day, we had lunch on this boat while it kept going through the river. We ate pork chops with boiled potatoes and ketchup. However, the weather didn`t help us because it was raining and cloudy.
After this boat trip,
we went to do a small tour through Vienna. They separated us into different
groups by mixing nationalities. Then, we started meeting new people from other
countries.
Finally, we went back
to the hostel and we had dinner. The food was very different. We also went to
the noise room and we had a good time playing billiards. Besides, we met new Slovenian
people.
We believe the Slovenians
were the nicest people in Eurocamp because they cook it in a different way, and
its flavor was strange.

Monday, May 12th
We met at the airport at 5:30 a.m. We were very tired
because it was too early. Once we met our teachers at the airport we said goodbye
to our parents and we checked in our luggage. We could not sit all together in
the plane so some slept and others listened to music or watched a film in their
mobile phone.
The flight from Bilbao to Madrid was very fast and short,
about one hour, we were quite excited although some students felt sick and
wanted to throw up.
The flight from Madrid to Vienna was longer than the
previous one, three hours more or less, so we spent all the journey sleeping. When
we arrived in Vienna Wilburg, one of the Austrian teachers, was waiting for us.
We caught the train, and it was a long journey.
Afterwards, we took the bus SA and finally we arrived at the hostel. There the
teachers gave us the keys of the rooms that we had chosen. Then, we went
upstairs to our room and we unpacked our suitcase. Later, we went to the
canteen to have dinner, however, the food was not good enough for us. What’s
more, we had dinner at 5.00 p.m.!!!!
When we finished having dinner we went to the
reception because there was free Wi-Fi and we all sat down in the sofas to talk
to our family and friends. We could only be there until 22:00 p.m., so then we
went to the “Noise Room”, which was the place where we could speak louder until
23:00 p.m. There we met Slovenian and Austrian people from the Eurocamp, who
were so nice and friendly. At 23:00 p.m. we went back to the rooms, but nobody
slept because we were really excited as it was our first day in Vienna.
