Parchment

On Wednesday morning, we had time to get ourselves some pastries&nbsp; for breakfast since we didn't have to go early to school after breakfast. We went to school for a PE lesson. Since on Wednesdays the students have half day they let the rest of the day go for free activities. We had lunch in the school again. It was awesome as usual after lunch we went home and spend some time there at night we went out for a walk. This town is very safe so we didn’t need to worry about being out at night .

On Friday we went to school. We had a project that we had to do which was decorating a mascot in something that represents our country. After that we went to a place to eat lunch and also play some games. Since this is their last day we didn't have more programs. Are you into a grocery store to get some food for the next day since we had a 24 hour trip back home . We went back home to put the groceries down then we did some last-minute shopping for our family and for ourselves. We also say goodbye to some of the people we met and made friendships with that night as usual. We went to Big M to eat dinner that was a spot the whole time we were there. We went home to pack our suitcases original. Our idea was to stay up all night so we would be tired for the bus ride and would sleep on the bus.

25-26.03.2023 Our journey started at Kelenföld, Budapest. When everybody arrived, we took a bus to Munich. In the Austro-Hungarian border there was a problem, because one of the passengers was banned from Austria. After that we reached Munich through Vienna. My classmate's suitcase was almost lost, but luckily we found it. We continued our journey to Lyon through Switzerland. In the next morning we arrived to Lyon. We reached Roanne via train. After we arrived the host families came for the four of us. 8 of us remained. We ate a very delicious pizza, then we went to our accommodation, but it was too small for us. Then the Teachers rented another room for themselves. Then we went to a store and the others had a coffee. After an intense day it was a relief to go to bed.

On Tuesday morning, we woke up early and went to the school to get on the bus which took us to a little town where we had several activities planned for today. We met with the mayor who told us about the town and it's culture. We also ate some pastries that were from specifically that region. Then we went to a hospital museum where we saw and heard stories about the people who worked there, specifically two sisters, who cured people . We went into a room which was originally meant for making medicine out of herbs and other stuff that could cure diseases. After the museum we went to get lunch, the place where we went, was apparently a Michelin star restaurant the food was interesting to say the least dessert part was actually quite good and the view from the restaurant looked over the town. We finished up lunch and then we went to see a cow farm where they made cheese . We saw some&nbsp; baby cows . We also met a dog on the farm. We could also buy cheese on the farm which most of us are did. They also prepared some cheeses for us to taste and we had an option to drink as well if you wanted to and they gave us this really cute cup which had the cows are there and the farms name and logo and some information about it and at the end, the lady was really nice as you said we could take the cups with us, so we took the cups as a souvenir well most of the Hungarian delegation did.

Hi, my name is Kata this is my travel journal for the time we went to Italy, Milan. We met at the airport on Sunday and we flew out to Milan. We had to travel to our place where we were staying. It was a camping site. Honestly it was really nice we had an apartment we also had a kitchen ,it was a lovely accommodation and even better flatmates .

On Monday morning, we went to the school. We saw a presentation about the school and what the kids are learning there then we went on a tour of the school which was really nice. We start their classrooms and we also saw like a hanging out area where you can spend time if you don't have any classes and it's for only the students then we went to get lunch which was fantastic. The school cafeteria is all that different than we normally used to. We had a three course meal and it was delicious, after that we went to see the city more specifically we went to see a church and around&nbsp; the church area. After that we were done for the day. Then we went to get some groceries in a local shop . Most of the restaurants&nbsp; are closed on Mondays so we cooked some pasta at home . The idea was nice and sounded easy but executing the plan wasn’t. The stove tops didn't want to work in our favours, so it took us nearly 2 hours to boil water for the pasta and make the dinner.After dinner we play a story telling game which was surprisingly entertaining and fun in anyway.

On Saturday morning, I we had&nbsp; to wake up around 5:30am and went on a 20 minute walk to the train station, where we met with the others who were at host families. We got on the train most of us fell asleep and then we took two buses back home when we stopped in München we had around two hours so we got some warm food down. We got on the bus and spend the night trying to fall a sleep. On Sunday morning, we got home at 6 am . This is pretty much it for what happened in France and what I can tell you in this travel journey.

On Tuesday we went to Milan by train. It wasn't too far away probably like an hour. We first went to a museum which was really interesting and pretty as well. Then we walked to the city centre. Where we went inside the Dom of Milan we looked around for quite a bit I was breath taking. Then we had some free time to spare, so we went to a local panzerotti please, which was recommended to us by the Italian hosts. After the delicious meal we had some free time to spare look around and shop. Then we went back to the place where we were staying.

On Wednesday, we went to two boat the first island where we went had just a few inhabitants, but it was a really really cute place. Honestly there wasn't much that we could do except walk around and appreciate the view. We had lunch on the island where in the restaurant we were surrounded by trees and we were on the balcony and we had a lovely guest who was a cat. After lunch, we went to a different island with a boat again. On the island, there was a beautiful castle which we saw from the inside. We also had a guide who told us things about the castle and we got to see the garden of the castle as well. It was one of the most beautiful places I have been to. Then we went back by boat to the first town and went home. On Thursday, we went to Como lake. We went there by bus then we walked around the city and went to lunch. After lunch we took about around the lake. It was kind of like you were going with a bus through bus stations,&nbsp; except it was a boat . After our boat ride, we got back on the bus and went home.

On Saturday morning we went into Milan. We had still a little time left so we went back to the city centre and we looked around a bit shopped around a bit after that we went to the airport got on the plane and got home. This is all that happened in Italy during our travel, this was one of the best trips of my life, and I'm really thankful for everyone who I met and became friends with.

DAY 2. 28.03.2023 After a delicious breakfast, we went to Charlieu. At first we visited a hospital museum, but to be honest it was so awful. Then we had a great French lunch. We visited a farm where the farmers produced milk, cheese and meat. Our last program of the day was a workshop where we made herbal toothpaste. When we finished, we traveled back to Roanne.

DAY 1. 27.03.2023 We had a breakfast in the morning and we went to the host school. This school functioning as a elementary school, high school and university. The hosts showed us the school after a warmly welcome. We had a tour as I mentioned and we ate a lunch. And that was a thousand times better than the Hungarian canteen. Then we went to a city tour in Roanne. We visited a church and the shopping center. After that we went back to our accommodation and we had a very delicious dinner. I asleeped very soon, but the others talked about an hour.

On Thursday, we woke up really early because we went to Lyon by bus . We got there a little bit later than expected. We walked around the city. We went up on a hill and we went into a church before we entered. There was a man playing music which will be added to the French feeling. We went inside the church and loocked around a for bit. Next to the church, you could see the whole city which is really pretty and there are also gardens under the church, so we walked around a bit there as well. We also ate lunch there. After that, we went back to the city centre and we had some free time to shop around some of us went to Sephora. We all got something it and was really fun. Then we got on the bus to go back to Roanne but on our way back. There was a problem in the tunnel so we stayed on the bus for a half an hour. Luckily nothing happened so we got home safe and sound and at night three girls who were in the apartment, went out for a walk.

We usually had breakfast at the camping we stayed at so on Monday morning we had our breakfast and then we went to the bus to get to the school .At the school they were already waiting for us . Some of the student helped us get into the school. We went to a classroom and they did a presentation about their school. What they're learning there and also what's the agenda for the week. Then they took us on a tour of the school, which is really interesting for me personally, because they do you study photography, and I&nbsp; like photography as well. From the school we went to get lunch at a really nice place near the school. There are multiple entries. We ate something similar that we have here home so that was a really popular choice among the Hungarian&nbsp; delegation. Will you finish up lunch in about two hours after that we went to an arboretum, observatory. Where are they gave us some tasks to do with the plants that were surrounding us. After that, we went back to our pleace then we went grocery shopping for dinner.

DAY 3. 29.03.2023 Kata and Tündi went to a French bakery in the early morning and they came back with fresh croissants. We arrived to the school very fast and we started the fruit salad workshop. I was in one team with my comrade, Gergő. We made beautiful salad bowls and everybody congratulated to us. Then we went to the school's sport hall. We played volleyball and basketball. When we finished, we ate the lunch and we walked through Roanne, because we got free time. We bought some stuff and we wandered in the streets. This was my favorite day.

On Friday, the plans changed because of the weather so we went to Switzerland by bus. When we got there. We had free time so we walked around the city and shocked around a little bit. The weather wasn't too nice so we did have to use our umbrellas and when we went into a church to look around someone stole my umbrella so after that I got soaked but I was fine. We also went into a chocolate shop and that was one of the best chocolates I have ever eaten in my life then we went back home and that night we had a little pizza party after that, we went down to the lake that was at the camping site and talked with the other kids from the other countries that was there last night, so the food we had left. We tried to eat or a gift to someone else in the end, our neighbours moved in next to our little house. Got most of the food from all the countries to stay at the camping site since no one could really eat that much food in one night.

DAY 4. 30.03.2023 We departed to Lyon with bus. It was not a long journey. We arrived to a street where we walked down. At the end of the street a beautiful sight revealed to us. Then we went down to the Basilica. There was so much stairs. This is the first thing that I didn't like. The second thing is that we had not so many free time in Lyon. We needed to go very fast to the locations where we should want to go. At the end of the tour I was so tired, and something happened in one of the tunnels on the road back to Roanne. In total it was a good day along with the negative things.

DAY 5. 31.03.2023 On the lastday we decorated the mascot that made by the Italians. Two of us represented Hungary. The rest of the team made a presentation about the second day. After the work, the fun waited for us. We walked through the street to the bowling club. We ate a delicious Pizza. Everybody chosed one Pizza to eat. Then we played bowling alongside with a few rounds of table hockey. I played against the Latvians and the Italians. It was so fun. And that was all for that day. We were the last to leave the place. We bought some food for the long journey back to Hungary. &nbsp; Next day we traveled back to Lyon with train. From Lyon to Munich we traveled through Switzerland. We boarded to another bus in Munich. After a long ride we arrived to Budapest. This was a good week. I will never forget this travel.

Hello, my name is Kata and this is my travel journal from the time we went to France this year with Erasmus. It started out on Saturday midday when we got on our first flixbus to München .I honestly do not remember how long was the road to the Müchen bus station back than I was like ohh this will be easy but then we got on the second bus and as we all got tired we started falling a sleep sadly it wasn’t as fun as the first half of our bus ride but we made it to Lyon with all our luggages safe and sound .Than we got on the train to Roanne .After being on the road for about&nbsp; 24 hours we finally made it .the first thing we did was go to a pizzeria and if I’m being honest that probably was the best meal we had there .Our next journey took us to our apartment where we stayed for the rest of the week .The apartment at first wasn’t what we expected but once we got settled in we were just fine .
