Nearly there...!

Hello parents and colleagues, Today (Thursday) we went to Port Aventura near Salou, about an hours drive from Barcelona. The pupils were in high spirits on the trip down, singing and asking for Janet to give them a wave....... Which she did to rapturous applause! The park was fantastico! Plenty of rides for all of us ranging from Teacups to the terrifying Shambala which, quite literally, felt like you were on top of the world ( if only for a second, before you plunged toward the ground at 80 mph!) The weather was glorious and there were plenty of opportunities for refreshments, food, shopping and a leisurely stroll around the different themed areas within the park. Pupils were a credit and we all left tired but having had a really great day! Another hop along the coast back to Barca took us to the Magic Fountain where we watched the water fountain dance and weave its magic to a receptive audience of thousands crammed into a beautiful park area. A few stops along the very clean and punctual Metro saw us back on La Rambla to have supper before retiring for the night to pack and tidy rooms......... A long day awaits us tomorrow with visits to the Dali Museum and then the water park at Lloret de mar before (sadly) making our way back to the Airport for our return flight home. We will try to blog again tomorrow before we take off, apologies in advance if we are unable to due to wi fi issues! Photos to follow courtesy of Mr Alexander!
