This last day started early because of the back home bus ride at 7 AM. In front of the town hall all pupils said farewell to their Spanish host families and friends. With a lot of tears and laughs all promised to stay friends for life; For sure these past days were a lifetime experience. The early bus trip in the dark was an occasion to catch some sleep and exchange coordinates.

After a first drop off at the airport, we made a tour by bus to Madrid. We were surprised by the size of the city and the quality of historical and modern architecture. In the magnificent city we were guided by Ana Maria and Juanjo, two Spanish teachers. Thanks to their guidance we didn’t fall into tourist traps. Thanks to Europe and Comenius we had an inside view on this city and experienced some wonderful moments with long lasting friendships. All countries went back home after the sightseeing tour in Madrid. Only Greece and Lithuania slept one night more in Madrid because their airplane left the next day early in the morning.
