Great trip to Hungary!
Posted on October 24th, 2009 by Tim MorleyA group of children from Years 3 to 6 have just returned from five very enjoyable days in Miskolc, Hungary, as part of the Comenius-funded Springboard to Language Esperanto exchange project.
As well as experiencing a day in the local school, we visited the Miskolc Cave Baths, the Diósgyőr castle ruins, and had a walk in the forests of the nearby National Park to visit some caves.
Despite some trepidation before the trip about whether we would get on with our host families, whether we would like the food, and so on – I have heard nothing but enthusiastically positive reports from the parents and children concerned. The host families were very friendly and accommodating, and although we didn’t always recognise the food, it turned out to be pretty tasty. Not exactly low fat or low salt (Jamie Oliver would have had a fit in their school kitchen!) but it was really, really tasty!
In all, it was a very successful trip! Thanks very much to all the children, parents and staff who made it possible.
Next: a group of Bar Hill children will be travelling to Herzberg-am-Harz, Germany during the Easter holidays (9th to 13th April 2010). Places will be limited, so sign up soon if you’d like to take part!
