What a great day we had yesterday. The day started off with packing cases ready for the next leg of the trip. Whilst waiting for the bus William prepared himself to buy our bus tickets. Unfortunately he didn´t have chance to use his language skills as when the bus stopped the driver took one look at us, shook his head and refused to let us on. One problem, half the children had already got on through the back door. The children were great as Mr Ludlow lost it! Using his best English Spanish he told the driver how crazy he was (whoops!) Never mind! An amusing race across Madrid, with bags and cases in hand, followed.
Ampero took us on a fantastic tour of Madrid. What a marvellous city! Well done Gaby and Chloe they received the shopaholic award for the most shops visited and presents bought in thirty minutes. Sorry Reece, you didn´t manage to get your ´nice cup of tea´. When you read this I hope you have managed to get one! Lunch was interesting. The wind was wild so we played a game of ´catch your lunch´as it went flying through the park. Oh yes, forgot to mention that we saw the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace.
The day ended with the children going home with their new friends. The staff sighed, wiped a tear from their eyes and went to party. The staff checked into a pension for the night. We all had single rooms which Mr Ludlow was pleased about because he could snore as much as he liked.

Hi Bron,Mum and dad. It is really windy here but it is very very sunny. Bron I am not going to tell you what your prezzie is you will be able to get it on Saturday.Marinas mum speaks English so it is very easy to talk to everyone as she translates my English. I tried the spanish melted choclate and a biscuit type thing, it was really nice. I am feeling a bit homesick but i am seeing one of you tommorow so it dose not matter. See you tommorow from Alex.

Hi Reece
Have you managed to get your cup of tea?
Did you have a good time at Marcelo's?
We are taking Becky out for dinner tonight as she is under the impression she's missing out on all the fun! Judging by the videos and messages, I think she may be right.
We are missing you and can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Take care, lots love
Mum, Becky and Harry puss xxxx
Hello everybody,
We have been looking at your blog daily and it looks like fun! We especially like the Fanta video clip, Mr Robinson and Mr Evans seems rather chilled... have they discovered San Miguel!!!!!
We hope Mr Ludlow is being good!
We would like to know how hot it is? We are trying hard not to be blown away by the wind during playtime!!
Have fun and a safe journey back.
Adios!
Mrs Williamson's class.
