Best of Belgium - Day 5

Before making the journey home we went to the Atlantic Wall Open Air Museum at Raversijde, near Ostend. Students learned about how the Germans lived and worked defending the coast during WWII.

Gastronomic London - Day 5

Today we enjoyed a Mexican Cookery Class at Central Street Cookery School, East London. All the profits from private classes like ours go back into funding cooking classes in the local community.

Sailing in Scotland - Day 4

Excellent steady breeze from the north, we were able to make it all the way around the island (first time in years!).  Stopped in Milport for lunch and hot chocolate.

Sailing in Scotland - Day 3

Wednesday: Heavy wind in the morning, settling down in the afternoon for a sail over to Largs

Ardeche Adventure Day 5

On the beach today - it was a beautiful morning out on the picos (small sailing boat) but unfortunately the afternoon was too windy to be out in the water so we enjoyed some beach games and a touch of swimming!

In the evening we headed into the local town which has a lovely harbour. We relaxed there for a couple of hours before heading back to town.

Eco Explorer Day 5

We began our final day in St Ives with a yoga session - yet again everyone participated with real focus and energy. Our last morning was dedicated to some well earned free time in the town, experiencing the retro arcade, buying Cornish clotted cream fudge and soaking up the fresh sea air. Then it was back to London on the train, with lots of happy memories from a wonderful week.

UKSA Cowes Day 5

"On the last day the weather brightened up, counteracting the fact that there was no wind, which made windsurfing highly enjoyable. We played some tricks and I lost my shoe. The mud stole my shoe and I was scared of the jellyfish. They were big"

Tour du Mont Blanc - Day 5

We have made it! All 66km complete, and all in record time. The group have been fantastic.

Celebratory pizzas were had in Courmayeur. We are now waiting and briefly learning to rock climb in Chamonix, then it's Geneva and a late-night London return. 

Danube - Day 5

Baroque architecture in abundance. Vienna tomorrow.

On the banks of the Danube an hour before arriving in Vienna

Morocco - Day 5

Today we went to a local home for orphaned and abandoned children just outside Casablanca. We sanded and painted the playground walls, raked the garden and did some litter picking on the nearby beach to help them. We also gave the children food, played football, drew and painted with the children and practised our French to communicate with them. We brought with us lots of toys, stationery and clothes to give to the children as presents. It was really emotional to see their reactions to their gifts and we were all very emotional when it came time to leave. Such a brilliant day! 

Swim trek - Day 5

Friday: Final swim this morning and then home. A great time had by all.

Wednesday: Lovely weather. We had three swims and a long hike. Good spirits and very impressive swimming. 

Camargue - Day 4

Yesterday the students visited the incredible Salt Marshes in Camargue. The scenery was stunning with the water being bright pink. 

We discovered the reason for the pink water was due to a pink algae which was eaten by small prawns which was then eaten by flamingos which made their feathers pink!
