Best Days Ever - Exchange Day 4

Well, here started the first and unique exchange weekend in Barcelona. We were tired as hell, but we decided to get up at a reasonable hour to do lots of activities. We had met about ten people more at ten in the morning in Rambla de Poblenou, to have a nice time at the beach. It was sunny and the day was great, so there was no problem. But once we were there we looked around us and noticed that none of us had brought any ball or anything to play, so Andrea and I went into a shop and for three euros we got a fancy ball!

We were all the morning in the sand, doing lots of different things, it was fun. At lunch time we stayed there at the McDonald's by the beach, we were just ten people counting Dutch and Catalan, so we were in a small group. When we finished we walked all along the streets in Poblenou and went back to the school, were we were going to meet all the rest of the class. During this trip, we learned a bit of Dutch, some separate words and sentences, many of them just to have fun. They learned also some Catalan and Spanish expresions, also the Barça anthem. They were good at languages!

Park Guell was the principal plan that evening, but it turned out that it closed at six, and it was five o'clock, so we arrived at the conclusion that Parc de la Ciutadella would be great as well! Honestly, every place seemed great to us when we had fun and laughs with them. We also brought ping-pong balls and rackets to play there. My target was Martijn, he has been training ping pong for 6 years and he's really good. I wanted to try him! I lost 7-5 at the end, but it was worth it, and we shaked our hands after the match. So after dancing, shouting, chatting and loads of other stuff we came back home, where a paella made by my mum was waiting for us!

Actually, it was the first paella she cooked, but it was tasty. So we finished our day as we did always, some chapters of Modern Family and some chatting before bed. The next day we were going to visit Camp Nou. It would be the first time for me and, of course, for him. So, goodnight and see you in the next post!
