Fans That Throw Away Old Air...

I have to be honest with you right now; I'm absolutely the most tired that I could possibly be and I haven't even looked over the work that we did in class today. 

Let's rewind to the start of the day, which started a lot better than yesterday and I only had to walk down the hill to the Campus Montilivi, thankfully because I didn't fancy a trek over to the Barri Vell campus. Today we started our intensive Catalan course, which consists of 60 hours overall. Since it's the intensive course we began with four hours today, and we will continue to do four hours tomorrow, Thursday and everyday next week. Luckily on Friday we get to go on a trip to Barcelona. Maybe I can take my towel? Haha!

The Catalan class this morning went quite well and I think we covered the basics well, after we'd spent almost an hour of calling people's names out. After our lessons, the four of us; Conny, Tom, Chris and myself decided to go on a quest to find the Decathlon because it sells bikes, and Chris was wanting to find one since Tom had brought his from Scotland. Turned out after a very long walk there that the bikes in there are too expensive; the cheapest being being €119. Needless to say, we did not buy any bikes there and went over to Bauhaus to have a look in there but came out with fans instead. This is good because the weather is so hot here in Girona and all you want after a day of being out in the sun is to be nice and cool. Showers and fans achieve this. 

After we'd bought the fans we took the opportunity to have McDonalds while we were next to it and not likely to be wanting to walk that way again. It's not cheap over here in Spain! But they do give you instructions on how to drink from the cup...

We didn't go to the beach today but we may on Thursday or at the weekend. Instead we trekked around Girona, with fans, to talk to the people in the youth place about camping, where to find cheap second hand bikes, the best mobile company to go with and the best beaches to go to and how to get there. It was a successful trip so now we can probably investigate the shop that sells the cheap bikes and buy some. 

 

Of course, Jake thinks he can just steal people's bikes. 

That's really all that happened today. Can't sum up my day better than with 4 hours of class and 5 hours of walking. 

Fins demà (Till tomorrow)

Ciao! x
