TurkeyBy Sergi and Tony

Flying to Turkey

At 9.55 we took our plane and went to Paris where we took another flight to Istanbul. There we had to wait for 4 hours, buy our Visa and eat a bk. Finally, we took a plane to ANTALYA.When we arrived, our partners were waiting for us and took us home.

First day( Monday)

We went to the classrooms with our partners. Then, each country presented the powerpoints, but because of electricity failure, our presentation had to be postponed until Friday.After lunch, we went to a local yogurt factory where a guide explained us how it was made and we could taste different kinds of yogurts and ice-creams too.Finally, everyone went home with her/ his partner. For example, Tony and I me went to a mall to spend the afternoon.
