Madrid Day 4

We started the day with an early start with enough time to get our bags ready to leave the hotel. We had a lovely breakfast and packed some snacks for the day. When we finally got on the coach to leave the hotel, we had a lovely journey listening to our favourite music . Then we went to the Real Madrid stadium. At first it was fascinating to see all the silverware Real Madrid have won over many years. After we had seen all the trophies we walked up to see the pitch which was unfortunately under construction, however it was still extremely interesting to see the transition from the old version to the new version of the Bernabéu. It was also amazing to see the stadium where a lot of our idols had played such as Cristiano Ronaldo. We left and got back on the coach to the Retiro park to have a fun pizza fiesta.  We enjoyed our delicious pizza while playing some football, cards and listening to music.  After having a fun time we had to sadly get back on the coach heading to the airport. On the journey we chatted about the trip and the incredible experiences we all had had together: enjoying ourselves, bonding as friends, learning more Spanish culture and getting to grips with the Spanish language. We’re very grateful to be on this trip and very grateful to Ms Fahidi, Ms Clayden, Mr Raby and Mr Schneider.
