Still In Vilnius

Everybody left yesterday, but our flight isn't due till Sunday morning, so I asked for some advice to Svetlana, an English teacher, and she kindly offered to take us to places in Vilnius the next day. Her husband came with us too :)

We visited two museums museums and some churches this morning.

They invited us to lunch as well. I'm so grateful they spent their free time with us. Thank you so much!

And to finish the afternoon some coffee in a nice cafeteria, with chocolate furniture inside :)
Nice day!

Last Erasmus day - KAUNAS

Today we went to Kaunas, the old capital city of Lithuania.

We have visited the museum of the important musician and painter Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis and then had a walk in the centre.

We finished the excursion having lunch in a shopping centre. Unluckily for Pina, most of us decided to have pizza for lunch. "The only good pizza is the Napolitan one, Pina says.

This evening well say goodbye to our Italian fiends. They leave early in the morning.

Thanks, Irina, for this nice week and thanks to your students as well. You've been great hosts :)

Fourth day in Vilnius: Lithuania’s Independence Day. TRAKAI

Independence day in Lithuania. The school was closed, so we went on excursion to Trakai, near Vílnius.

Trakai was amazing, with its huge frozen lake, where people walked without sinking :) We even saw a girl in her bikinis who was having a quick bath in the frozen water after getting out of the sauna.
The guide took us to the castle and later on we headed to the restaurant, to do a pasties cooking lesson. We ate them for lunch, of course :)

The next stop of the excursion was a huge park, which had a slippery path that led to another castle. The forest was full of snow, so many students and some teachers (Carlos) , started a snow-throwing-ball battle :)

To finish the day, the Lithuanian partners invited us to a restaurant which had a beautifully set table filled with delicatessen.

An amazing day!

Third Erasmus day in Vilnius

Today students have designed mind maps representing their idea of life without stress. We also had an introducing and interesting session of C++ programming.

Then the teachers had a nice talk about teacher anxiety and later on we headed to our students' PE class. The music was lively and invited to join in , so Pina and I participated. It was so much fun :)

After school, some of the teachers went shopping and sightseeing and our students had also something to do in the evening, Non stop :)
