A trip to the castle

On a sunny Sunday afternoon we decided to take a trip to the castle. It was very hot, so we had to put on a ton of sunscreen, in opposite way we would look like shrimps, because here the sun is much stronger then in Poland so you have to protect your skin and eyes. The drive took us less then an hour from Rio Tinto (a town near Porto) to Gumaraes, and we arrived to the monumental castle. The castle was built in the 10th century to defend the monastery. Inside of that edifice was presented history of Portugal. It was really interesting, because this small country has huge history.
Lokalizacja: Guimarães, Portugal

At 12:30 pm our driver was waiting for us in front of our apartment. He doesn´t speak english so the only words we spoke with him were "bom dia" which means good morning and "obrigada" which means thank you :). We arrived at school at lunch time so we had a big, delacious meal and went for our english class. At the english class everybody introduced themselfes to us and we introduced ourselfes to them. We played interesting games and learned useful things in english. After english lessons we had jewelry class that was amazing, the teacher taught us how to make a wire!

First day in Porto

Obraz
On our first day in Porto we met Marta. She took us to one of the best chinese restaurant, then we went on a walk to the city centere with our polish teacher and explored the city. After a long walk Carlos took us to the Atlantic Ocean! It was amazing, we had a nice weather and saw huge waves and palm trees. We thought that after seeing the ocean we are going home, but Carlos took us to a beautiful spot where we had a breathtaking panoramic view of Porto and the Douro river. Carlos spontaniously decided to take us shopping and then eat pizza at Pizza Hut! It was a exhausting day but satisfying.
