Monday, 13th AprilEarly in the morning, all Comenius students went to Abba Ballini High School in Brescia. We were divided into groups and our Italian partners showed us the school facilities.Moreover, the Italian teacher gave us a welcome conference.

After our school tour, we went to go to a tap factory. The company’s name is Bonomi Group. There we were given a talk on the operation of the company and they showed us all the facilities. We were divided into groups with a guide who explained step by step the production of the different pieces of a tap.

In the middle afternoon; we visited Lago Iseo. We sailed on a boat on the lake and we got to a small island where we had lunch together in the countryside.

Later we took a walk through the village, it was very nice. We saw a few ducks on the lake with their little ducklings.

Lunch time at Freccia Rossa and free time for shopping in the afternoon!

Wednesday night at «La nave di Harlock»

A wonderful time!

We had a party… and a lot of fun!

Thursday in Italy– what a day!

From there we had an impressive

view over the whole city

and the Lake Garda.

Early in the morning we went to the

school to start our trip to Sirmione

where we visited a castle. From there

we had an impressive view over

the whole city and the Lake Garda.

After this we had free time and the most of us ate ice cream and many other delicious

things and enjoyed the

beautiful view over the lake.

At 12 o’clock our trip went on to Verona. There we had a bus tour through the city

with a very gentle guide. It was very interesting to see the historical parts of

Verona.

The highlight of the day was the

balcony of Romeo and Julia. Another

special moment was when we arrived at the

market near “the Coliseum” of

Verona where we had a bit free time

to shop.

Back in the bus, we took the French people to a station where we said goodbye to them. When we arrived at the school we had to say

goodbye to the Spanish and Italian people. It was a sad

moment for all of us because we might not see them again.

But it was a very good experience!!!

More than

one tear was

shed…
