Tuesday, 5th April

  3.30 a.m: I woke up, I was so tired!! But I had to prepare.

  4.30 a.m: I arrived in front of the big bus with my parents and I found all my friends. We installed in the bus. Then I slept because I was too tired.

  Around 13 a.m: We arrived in Roscoff and we ate.

  15 a.m: We embarked in the ferry, it was the beginning of a terrible crossing!

  During the crossing, everyone was sick, the boat pitched and I walked as if I had drunk. I didn't do much during this crossing.         

  We finally arrived at 8 p.m, we left this horrible nightmare! We went to meeting point. We met our host family. Guillaume, Andy, Béjan and me were with Sharon, she was very nice and she has one son, Ryan, and one cat. We ate only two toasts whereas I was so hungry!! Then I slept, a long day waiting for me.

Wednesday, 6th April

  I woke up at 6.30 a.m. I was so tired!! I had breakfast then we join meeting point. We went to school for 3 hours. Elaine was our teacher. We work having fun.

  After, we arrived at the Eden Poject and we ate.

  After eating, we went to visit Eden Project. It was very interresting!! First, we saw the Mediterranean climate. Plants weren't very different of our environment however I viewed grape vine and other things. Then we saw the rainforest. We discovered hugely plants. It was hot, I've never been so hot in my life!! I walked in the rainforest and looked plants.

  I have a little funny story to tell you, about Bédice and Mr. Binnet (yes, because with Bédice there is always funny something to relate :-)). Bédice and me were walking and Bédice bented over a small wooden bridge to watch the water court when Mr. Binet and Mr. Labeyrie arrived. Bédice was still watching the water court, suddenly Mr. Binnet grabbed Bédice by his shoulders. It was so amusing! It's unfortunate that I didn't have time to film!

  After we visited Eden Project, we went to Polperro. It's damage that we didn't stay longer!

Here are some photos of Eden Project.

Then we went to Polperro. It's a small fishing village. We walked in the village and saw boats, took photos. We stayed just a few minutes then we return to Plymouth. In Sharon's house, we discovered Max, a dog. We ate (this time, it wasn't two toasts :]) and we slept.

One bus.

Thursday, 7th April

  At 6.30 a.m, we woke-up. I discovered yet a new cat!! I was wondering where came all these animals from. Then I had breakfast and we went to the meeting point.

  After that we had 3 hours of classes. It was really fun! Next we directed to the Dartmoor National Park. The landscape was so beautiful. I was admiring this lovely landscape when the bus stopped so that we come down to eat.

  After eating, we profited the time which was still to us to fun. It was happened different funny things:

-We were going to the toilet when an old lady said "you smell" to Fahardine! I laughed so much!!

-Bryan irritated against many peoples (Lucie, Imane Baddag and Guillaume, I think) and Mr. Labeyrie sent Bryan with the sixth. The poor!

-Guillaume and Andy interpreted a song titled "Il faut manger le maffe" that I probably will not post because the rights of copyright.

  I'll tell you about our tour in the Dartmoor National Park later!

  Then we met our guides for the hiking in the park. I was apprehensive a bit about walking 3 hours in the park. But unfortunately we walked only 1 hour. It was so interesting that I wanted to stay longer! We saw different things: hut circles, dolmen, stone row, milestone... This is very similar to Brittany.

  After this short (too short) walk, we took photos of the group while waiting other groups.

  This park is splendid!! And its story was very interesting. If you go here, I advise you to visit this park. Then we returned to the village where we had lunch.
