Ola's Diary - Sicily

24.02.2014 (Monday)- trip to Italy At 6:30 we left for Warsaw by a mini bus. About 12:30 we were at the airport- at the same time Polish fast skaters arrived from Sochi- they had done a good job there. Unfortunatelly I didn't see them because I had to check-in, but the other girls went to see them. Next, security check and then boarding. Flight wasn't as amazing as I expected- it was my first flight so I had thought it would be something special. We flew only 2 hours 20 minutes. During the flight, we got a snack and a drink. After we landed in Rome, we had to wait for some time again and there was another flihgt from Rome to Catania, which lasted an hour and 15 minutes. At the airport we took our luggage and we waited for the bus (which was a little bit late) then we drove to San Cataldo. There Italian families were waiting for us and welcoming us cordially. They took us home, where during the dinner I met Sanem- Turk. 25.02.2014 (Tuesday)- Palermo We woke up early, ate breakfast- mainly cookies and we drove to Palermo. First we visited the Cappella Palatina (the Palatine Chapel) - a small, compact masterpiece hidden away inside the Royal Palace. Everything was so beautiful - the Byzantine mosaics and the wooden Arabic honeycombed ceiling. Later we went to a garden, which was also very pretty- the best thing there- for me was mandarin tree. Next we went to a place, where view of a garden was enchanting. After it we had a big dinner and we went to visit the best place in Palermo- the theatre Massimo It is not only the largest theatre in Italy, but also one of the largest in Europe. Our last destination in Palermo was beach, where we made our videos in internacional groups with Turk Sanem, Czech Lukas, me and Italians: Domenico, Marta and Marika. After we did our 'job' we went for an ice cream and we drove back home. 26.02.2014 (Wednesday)- school Lessons started at 9:30. First our Italian hosts took us on normal lessons, It was about Italian constitution. Later some students came and took us to IT class to show our presentations. Next we went home for a lunch and and after the meal we came back to school. There we worked in international groups again and we had to edit our videos. My group's movie was about lifestyle in Sicily and we made it as a local news. When we ended we came back home, but only for a short time because our families took us on bowling! Unfortunately I lost (like always). After fun we ate a pizza and we went home. 27.02.2014 (Thursday)- Etna and Taormina We left San Cataldo early to visit Etna! When we got there, we could see small, black stones everywhere- it was dried lava. We were making second video- the subject was 'Lost in Italy'. Then part of our group went higher by a rollercoaster. Two hours later we droved to Taormina for dinner. The weather changed and it started to rain! We had some time to visit shops and make photos for our videos. Then we drove home. 28.02.2014 (Friday)- school and Agrigento Until lunch we were at school and we were editing our videos. We came back home and for lunch, we also had some free time at home. Then we drove to Agrigento to see one of Sicily’s most famous historical attractions - the Valley of the Temples . We also could see beautiful views there! In the evening we drove back to San Cataldo. 01.03.2014 (Saturday)- school and free time In the morning we went to school, because summary of the project took place there. Participiants of the project expressed their opinions about the time we spent there. Everybody enjoyed the time in Sicily, both visitors and hosts. We said goodbye to our new friends and we took photos with them. We went home, ate dinner and we spend rest of the afternoon there. In the evening we went to restaurant- Gusto for pizza. We couldn't stay late there, because we had to left San Cataldo very early in the morning. 02.03.2014 (Sunday)- trip to Poland (by Alexandra) And we were giong to Poland :( We left San Cataldo at 4:30 in the morning. During saying goodbye with my family I cried a lot, I didn't want to go home. Rest of the journey wasn't complicated- bus to Catania, then plane to Rome, plane to Warsaw and bus to Suwalki.
