Thursday 12th May

The penultimate day had come. As usual every morning, after having breakfast the Spanish teachers met their students in Norton College. The plan for this day was a visit to Whitby, a town on the coast, driving through the North York Moors, a National Park in North Yorkshire.
At 9:00 a.m. the Spanish group took the coach and started a trip which drove them through the Moors to Whitby.





Once there, free time to visit the town until 12:30.
















The Spanish teachers went up 199 steps to visit St Mary's Church, which is located next to the ruins of Whitby Abbey.

And finally they visited the ruins of Whitby Abbey.






At 12:30 they left Whitby heading to Grosmont, where they were going to take a steamer train to Pickering. This train is famous because in one of the stations some scenes of a Harry Potter' s films were filmed.








The group had a compartment booked in this train and everybody was very excited imaging themselves taking part in the film.








The most exciting moment was when the students were said that this bridge of this station appeared in the film. Everybody hurried up to take pictures.

At 14:35 the Spanish group arrived in Pickering, where the usual bus and its nice driver took them to Norton college to wait for their English partners.
In the evening, a Spanish girl celebrated her birthday and some of the English parents and their children together with other Spanish students organised a party in the famous Italian pizzeria restaurant Florios. It is said it was fun and they shared a great time.
In the same evening, Sarah and her husband Richard invited the Spanish teachers to have a excellent dinner in a very cosy restaurant in the countryside. It was a lovely evening. After dinner, Sarah and Richard took the Spanish teachers to their hotel Malton.
