We visited Southern Spain in the first week of half
term. The purpose of the trip was to enjoy the art
and architecture of the region, particularly the
mediaeval Moorish' influence. And, of course, to
enjoy a taste of Spanish food and society. Without
a guide, but well supplied with guidebooks, we could
really take our time and enjoy the country. Organizing
all our own sightseeing and meals gave us considerable
flexibility, and not being tied to a guide and a
timetable turned out to be quite a bonus. Finally,
we made our way back to the airport by taxi, train
and bus. It was a highly successful trip in every
way!

Eight days of hiking in Morocco. Just imagine it.
On the first day we met our guide. A local man with
dreadlocks. Actually he was a nice chap and very
experienced. The days were filled with travelling.
We started the trek, and walked, with small ten
minute rests every hour, if we were lucky, for about
seven hours. At nights we slept next to the river
which was an extremely pleasant place. One night,
though, we were shocked by the monsoon style rain
and hurricane. We enjoyed the Moroccan food. After
eight days of the expedition we left exhausted and
in tears.

Going to Berlin was a fantastic experience as it
is truly the most diverse city in the world. Apart
from the usual tourist attractions there are plenty
of other areas worth visiting. Also, I found the
German people not to be as serious and efficient
as I thought they would be. They were very friendly
and hospitable. It's a shame that future 6 formers
won't have an opportunity to go on this exchange
in future because our partner school is restricting
it to 4th years.

We spent three weeks travelling around South East
Asia. On arrival the group was met by our chief
guide, who briefed us on the forthcoming trek and
provided the necessary sleeping bags, carry mats
and supplies. Next morning we headed into the jungle
first by minibus and then by boat. Our first port
of call was the Canopy walk, basically a rope walkway
suspended between tress 40 foot above the ground.
Then the group left the river and set off on foot
to explore the interior.

This year I had decided to organize the work experience
week in a different part of France and with a different
company. Indeed, tough the week in Brittany had
been a success every time, the main problem was
in the evening as the boys were all staying together
and, therefore, speaking English. Trying to make
them speak French to each other, after having spent
the day at their work placement trying to understand
what was going on, was a very difficult task.

As we departed from Hampton, having been on the
exchange before I thought that there wouldn't be
anything new to me, except the language perhaps.
As I found out over the next week France always
has new experiences to offer. The French host families
were very kind and understanding while we spent
the weekend with our hosts so we felt as if we were
back at home - well, apart from having to speak
French, obviously! Our guides had planned a range
of excursions, including cultural, sporting and
entertainment centres of the city.
