As we all approached Newcastle airport, mixed emotions were beginning to show. “I love airports” “I’m tired” “I love the sounds of suitcases rolling on the floor”. Everyone appeared to be excited yet tired, almost as if we were all still awake by pure adrenaline. To prove how excited everyone was, as we were all waiting to check in, people were getting their bags and weighing them,sitting on the luggage trolleys and helping themselves to a well deserved Greggs. As everyone successfully went through customs, all, what was left to do was to relax and wait for our plane to board.
As we all boarded the plane, people were just realizing how light it had becamesince their arrival to the airport. Everyone was shocked at how small the plane was, no one could walk down the aisle without hitting another passenger with their bag. As soon as we were in the air the blue sky began to shine through the windows and lighten the inside of the plane. Within half an hour most people were asleep so they could recharge their batteries for when they arrived in Paris.
As soon as we arrived we had a warm welcome to the school with Myriam as she was waiting for us at the airport to take us to our hotel. On the journey to our hotel everyone changed their watches to the right time so they wouldn’t get confused by the time change anymore. Before we went to the college, we placed all of our luggage that we didn’t need into a room that would keep it all safe.
We can certainly say that when we arrived at the school, we certainly gave them an impression. Everyone was looking at us wondering who we are and some of the students were shouting out of the windows, saying how beautiful the girls were. Of course the girls were flattered, until they got told to be careful and to always walk around with the rugby guys. The school gave us a great welcoming as they showed their appreciation by putting on a buffet. The nuts were addictive, the cheeses were really creamy and some of the food was recognizably French as a few people didn’t understand what everything was. Still everyone tried a bit of everything and soon the table became empty looking.
Luckily there was a shopping centre right next to the school and our hotel so we decided to have a look around before heading back to the hotel. The shopping centre was called ‘ Chelles 2’ and it didn’t take the girls long to discover H’n’M. Within minutes everyone was in the shop seeing if the stock was the same or not.After we had had a look at everything we all went back and went to go into our rooms, By now we were all tired and could do with a sleep.
At 5 o'clock we went around town to get some food however most of the restaurants opened at 7 so we decided to walk back to the hotel and go to the chinese restaurant on the way back. I think we took the owners by suprise as 24 of us entered hoping to eat till our hearts content. The food was delicious and the fact we could get free refilled drinks was a relief.
Because of the food we had just had, most people had became hyper and their tiredness was gone. After doing everything, it already felt like we had been there a few days.
