DAY THREE (AM) DESENZANO MARKET

• Today was exciting my friends and I met two
  friends we dont know their names. One was a
  really nice waiter and one gave me a discount. I
  learnt two phrases Posso avere uno sconto
  and vorrei uno sconto I bought two bracelets
  for my younger brothers. They were a bit stingy
  on the discount. Xxx

DAY THREE (PM) VISIT TO PADOVA

• Ciao,
• Padova was fun especially Myma and I running
  around the grass that was funny and we turned
  some heads. The ice cream was very tasty! Hmmm!!

  coach with Mrs Esposito!! Looking forward to
  Sorrento tomorrow! Rachel

• Holly, Jessica, Laura, Tasha, Amber and me went
  to Spar to buy some food. However, while I was
  looking at apples, the rest of the group went off
  to find a pizzeria, and left me. I went to buy my
  apple (I found out I had to scan it myself, but
  didnt) I walked out into the street and there
  was no-one about. They had all left me.
• 7 minutes later I saw a group of girls
  running towards me remembering where they had
  left me. (Apple was good though!).

DAY FIVE VISIT TO NAPLES DISCO IN SORRENTO

• Hey,
• Naples was a fun day out but I was a little
  scared of the gipsy children asking for money and
  ice-creams. I enjoyed the free time as the shops
  were cool and I bought yet ANOTHER bag! Oh well
  life goes on!
• Love you, Rachel xxx

DAY SIX VISIT TO CASERTA - ROYAL PALACE

• Hey!
• Today was hhmmmhow shall you say AMUSING!

  did that pizza want to be? Then shopping was
  great!

  was lovely! All got a nice tan!

DAY EIGHT PALMS SUNDAY MASS VISIT TO POMPEI
TARANTELLA SHOW AND DISCO

• Church was interesting, but I didnt understand
  what the priest was saying. Then we had to
  collect a piece of olive tree and were told we
  werent allowed to throw it away but had to take
  it home. Pompeii was nice , I like learning about
  history and I remembered some of it from my
  history class about Vesuvius and how the
  piroclastic flow covered the city in ash and I am
  amazed how it has all been found. At night we
  went to watch a Tarantella show and it was great!
  The drummer reminded me of Billy Connolly and
  when he was playing the drums he made funny
  faces. The old man was good too and the girl had
  a fantastic voice! The disco was fun too!!!
• Love,
• Erin

14

• Myma here online! So far on this trip Sorrento
  was the best!!! I hate that we are leaving, its
  such a disappointment Everyone has got a lot
  closer on the trip. Got a lot of new friends!
  Love you all,

• Hey Holly and Jess here!
• Bergamo was interesting, we visited the old town
  and then went to do more shopping we went in the
  Primark of Italy which was cool but English
  Primark is better!
• Love, Holly and Jess xxx

DAY ELEVEN DAY IN GARDALAND

• Hey hey hey!
• Well today was absolutely breathtaking as Zoe
  would say! It was so fun! The dolphin show was so
  sweet and there was a security guard who looked
  like the Man in Black! Ice skating show was good,
  brought back memories from something else LOL! It
  was sooo good today!!!
• Love, Holly and Jess xxx

18

• Today was the best day by far on this trip cause
  we went to Gardaland! The rides were good
  especially Blue Tornado but I think my voice is
  going from all the screaming LOL!!! We also went
  on the Carousel it was the best ride in the
  worldjoking man!!! We watched the dolphin show
  which was good but not as good as the ice
  skating . Pity that the same bloke fell over
  twice I felt well sorry for him.
• Love, Francesca

19
DAY TWELVE VISIT TO SALO BOAT TRIP ON LAKE
GARDA AND SIRMIONE TALENT SHOW

• I think that Salo is a lovely place and the
  shopping there was great! The boat trip was very
  good and relaxing. The talent show was great! Our
  dance to Moulin Rouge was such a laugh, we all
  dressed up, especially Olivia in her corset and
  Jordan in that lovely top which I want! LOL! Then
  the Plastics doing their dance, and Yvonne had to
  sing James Blunt but she was really good , well
  done! Overall I think the trip was brilliant
  dont want to go home and then back to school
  with the tests! Erin

DAY THIRTEEN MANERBA MARKET AND DEPARTURE

• Ciao ciao!
• Hiya! Jade and Clare here!
• Wow! Our last day! It feels like we have been
  away for ages but at the same time it has gone so
  quickly! This was a chilled out day, we just
  sunbathed around the pool and went to the market
  to spend our last 20! In the market us and
  Francesca met the same market man that we had
  seen before in another market so we said Ciao! Me
  (Clare), Jade, Erin, Myma and Francesca danced in
  the basement and did another version of Moulin
  Rouge from the talent show last night. After our
  last meal (with Viennetta ice-cream-wooo!) we are
  on the coach going home and looking back at our
  holiday. Its been really fun shopping and
  getting closer to friends. We are so glad we came
  because we have had so many laughs
• GRAZIE and
  ARRIVEDERCI!!!!!!
• Lots of
  love,
  Claire and Jade xxx

25

• Hey hey! Holly and Jess here!
• Just reminiscing on the coach about the great
  trip! Shame its all over but it will be nice to
  finally see our families again! We had some of
  the best times in this trip but the best part was
  definitely Sorrento! Wow where do we start it
  has been unbelievable from Verona right until the
  sunbathing today! Everyone has become so close,
  we all have made new friends with people we would
  never usually talk to! We have all been taught
  different lessons being around different people
  and we have learnt a lot about ourselves. I hope
  no-one forgets the days we have had together, it
  will stick with us forever. We will never get to
  do it again (maybe new years eve?) but we made
  the most of it! Wow totally changing the subject
  how much do Italians eat??? Unbelievable!
• The trip was soooo good! Thanks Mrs Esposito and
  Alessandra for taking us!
• All our love,
• Holly and Jessica xxx

• Hiya Nicola here,
• This trip has been great fun! I m so glad I
  could come because if I didnt I would have
  missed out on so many laughs! I think every one
  has got much closer since this trip. My
  favourite part was Gardaland cant believe I
  went on upside down rides (which I have never
  done before) they were so fun! Thanks to Myma
  getting me on them!
• Love
  
  Nicola xxx
• Sorrento 06 was excellent! We learnt loads of new
  phrases vorrei uno sconto per favore, vorrei
  dellacqua naturale per favore. We met lots of
  new people and everyone enjoyed themselves.
  Everyone has become closer to each other. Lots of
  us tried to learn our Italian orals by the pool,
  hope we all do well! Thank you for all you have
  done, we all really appreciate it! We are going
  to miss being around everyone!
• Thanks again to Mrs Esposito and Alessandra
  and coach drivers!

  hugs and kisses from
