Travelling in Greece

Travelling in Greece
       ----By Queenie & Elsie
From Feb.26 to Mar.3, We went to Athens and Sparta which are in Greece for the Academic Travel because we learned the ancient history about Greece this year. It was a nice trip and we learned lots of new knowledge. We really had an enjoyable time during the travel. We are writing a blog for the travel during the academic travel which was an important part of our trip, such as bus and airplane. 
On the first day of the travel, we took the bus all together from school to the Milan airport at 7:30. On the bus, we played cards with Peter and David in the first floor at first. However we felt very sleepy suddenly because we got up at 6 o’clock. Therefore we both fell asleep on the bus immediately. Some other people were singing upstairs in the bus and had fun. When we woke up, we were at the airport already. We took our suitcases into the airport and waited for the check in. I (Queenie) went to the other side of the airport to pack my suitcase up with a green tape because I didn’t want my suitcase get damaged when it was delivered. The teacher passed our passports to us after check in. Everyone was chatting while Group 1 went to get boarding pass and check luggages first. Not very much time, we got our boarding passes and going to the security check. The teacher let us go by free and back to the boarding gate at a specific time. We looked for some restaurant for our lunch. We bought some sandwiches for lunch and waited at the gate. Soonly, it was already the time. We took on a bus and went on the plane. The first plane was from Milan to Zurich. It was only about an hour. We just slept on the plane and didn’t do anything. 
 
Then, we arrived at Zurich airport and waited for the transfer flight. During the waiting time, we bought some ice-cream and relaxed for a while. But not very much time, we sat on the plane again! I (Elsie) read some books and listened to the music, and we fell asleep again on the plane, Queenie did the same thing. The airline stewardess gave us a small box of salad and cake for snakes. The food was fine. We quickly ate it and kept on sleeping! When we arrived at Athens airport, we were so excited. It was my (Elsie) first time to Athens and I wished I would have a excellent experience. For me (Queenie) it was different, I hoped I could find anything different this time from my last Greece trip.  
From Monday to Thursday, we traveled to many places in Athens and Sparta by bus. We spent a lot of time on the bus to visit many historical places. It was a super boring time in the bus though.The bus was just like our home and every times we returned on the bus, we started to sleep. We also went to Sparta by a long time riding. Blah! We were just sat on the bus for whole afternoon.
On the Friday morning, we packed our things and readied to leave back to TASIS. Everyone got on the bus on time and we went to the center down for an hour free time first. At about 12:00, we arrived at the Athens airport. We did exactly the same thing we did when we came here. The time passed by, the boarding time was coming, we walked on the plane slowly, we didn’t want leave beautiful Greece, we enjoyed the holiday and brought away happy memories of Greece. We went to Zurich first and flew to Milan, which was the same route when we came here. We played card games all the time on the plane and it was so fun. When we arrived at the Milan airport, it was already 6:00pm. We felt very tired all the day and relaxed a lot on the bus. We arrived at TASIS at 8:00pm. Finally, we were back to the school. The trip was really amazing, also it was beneficial to students. We had a really good time and we hope that we can go to Greece again in the future.
