Friday 13th May

Yes, the last day in Norton. It began as usual. The Norton College was the meeting point for Spanish teachers and students. All the group and the English partners posed to have an unforgettable memory of the stay. Then, the Spanish group went to York to spend the morning sightseeing and buying the last souveniers for their families.
Several churches and picturesque sites in York were visited.

Then, time to have lunch and to continue buying until 14:30, the time to take the coach to go back to Norton. Before taking it, the Spanish group had a photograph taken with something very familiar for people from Jaén. Can you guess? Look at the photograph and you can see it.

At 15:10 they were waiting for their English partners in Norton College to go with them to their homes. A lot of them had arranged to have a party before packing. After dinner, everybody had to meet outside Norton College to start the trip to Spain. Everybody knew it was going to be a very sad moment. In fact, it was. At that time, English families with their children, Spanish students and teachers started appearing. Their faces showed the sadness of the moment that nobody wanted to happen. When all the English and Spanish students had arrived, a last photograph was taken

Falling tears could be seen in everybody's eyes and "I'll miss you" or even "I don't want to go back to Spain" could be heard everywhere. The saddest moment was coming: getting on the coach.

It was very hard to say goodbye but the Spanish group had to leave towards Gatwick airport. A long tiring night was coming near. At 11:05, the coach left Norton College heading to Gatwick airport. Everybody waved goodbye with tears in their eyes, tears which continued falling for nearly an hour in the coach until most of the students fell asleep.
