Day 8: The BIOParc Zoo

Hola, Charlie and Melissa here

First actual weekend in Valencia since we arrived a week ago. Had a brilliant lay in until half eight as we have been having early starts from getting up at half 6. The week really drained us as the weather was extremely hot so we become tired very quickly throughout the day. We didn't let this effect us whilst we was teaching as we wanted to show are full ability's towards the children/teenagers .

Transport to the Bio Park Zoo was fine. We had help from Schola Reps for directions to the Zoo which was really helpful of them. By then following with a 10-15 minute stroll through the park. which we then found out this was once a river a couple of years ago. This stroll through the park was a totally different surrounding to what we are used to.  Some of the things we noticed are; loads of fitness fanatics, their was a different lane for bikes, running and walking.

After arriving at the Bio Park Zoo, we got our tickets and got told a meeting point for a certain time. We then strolled off in different groups of our choice. Firstly we went to the Zebra's, we saw that the animals where mixed together. By taking another long stroll through the Zoo, we saw that normally in England the animals are a far distance away from us. But in this Zoo, they where very close to us near the window.

Having a walk through the park was again good looking at the surrounding. At this time though, it wasn't very packed as it was not ten o'clock in the morning.

Getting the train home was eventful, everyone was laughing and making jokes. We would of thought everyone would of been tired after walking all day, however the members of staff are a laugh. Again walking back to the hostel everyone then started to become tired after all this walking.

Everyone got back and had a shower and had some free time, before getting ready for tea. Tea was delicious, we had a variety of different choices what pizza we wanted. Walking back to the hostel was again tiring. Then had about half an hour free time to chill out as we didn't have any planning to do as we done it on Friday when we had 3-4 hours free time which only took us 1 hour to do between 5 of us. Then sleep arrived!!!!
