In the morning all the students taking part in the exchange programme played volleyball. There was even a teachers’ team that tried to do its best… At lunch time everybody left and the students went home to prepare a lot of different dishes for the evening event.

We all arrived back at school at about 18.30 where we first got to eat lots of delicious things. Then the party started with: song performances (by exchange students and the Nehalennia teachers’ band), disco music and dancing, chill out lounge… I’m quite sure: Tomorrow it won’t be easy to leave…

This morning the buses left school at about 7.30. On our way to Amsterdam we had the possibility to see a lot of the Deltawork buildings we had heard of the days before. When we arrived (about three hours later) we went for a boat trip and got some first impressions of the city. The final destination was the National Museum, a sight where a lot of famous paintings (such as the Nightwatch by Rembrandt) can be admired. But before entering the museum there was a security check and we had to get rid of our Swiss army knives and all our jackets and bags…

After having visited the museum and looked for all personal belongings we went for a walk to the city center and were shown some of Amsterdam’s oldest houses. About three hours later and a lot of shopping bags heavier we all hurried back to our bus. We had a great day.
