On Monday night/ Tuesday morning all Ty's and teachers gathered at the school at 12:45. 46 Ty's and 4 teachers, Miss Murtagh, Miss Ryan, Mr Fallon and Miss Madden went on the trip. We arrived at Dublin airport around 3am and immediately went through security. We departed Dublin airport around 6am. Once we landed in Barcelona it was 10am local time. We were greeted with a bus and a tour guide named Jess. On this tour we began by visiting the science museum of Barcelona, which was quite interesting. Here, we also got the chance to get lunch and relax outside in the sun with our friends. We toured Barcelona and visited famous sites such as the Gaudi Cathedral. The architecture was very impressive. Later that day we went on Cable cars. Here we took cable cars to the top of the scenic ‘Montjuic’ area. Once we reached the top we visited a castle. After the cable cars we drove to our hotel, two hours away in Salou. We were given about two hours before dinner which we got in the hotel. The rooms were quite nice,there were 3 singles beds and a balcony, before we all gathered together in the restaurant for dinner.We then went bowling a few minutes away from the hotel. Overall, the first day was very enjoyable.
