Picturesque Chester !!!! (Bourtsoukli Foreign Language School)

Thursday 23rd  April
We arrived in Chester in the afternoon and since we had some free time we decided to stroll around the city.We soon realised how beautiful and picturesque Chester is and we really enjoyed our walk.Around 8:00 pm we met with the English group at a lovely pub called Telfords. We had a delicious meal and were very happy to see all our friends again!














Friday 24th April

Early in the morning along with our British and Belgian colleagues we set off for Liverpool.We saw and visited historical buildings and had the chance to experience the vibe of the city upclose.After our walk it was time for lunch at the Philharmonic.Fish and chips,a cosy atmosphere and lots of laughs was all that we needed to get energized and continue the day.But still something was missing.....




Our Spanish friends of course! After we met them downtown, students split into groups, teachers satyed together and we continued our tour through Liverpool.We took photos and exchanged views on the city.
Time for another break and what a better place to be than ''The Cavern''. A live band playing Beatles music,drinks, a vibrant party atmosphere but still something didn't feel right....Our Finnish friends weren't there! But as soon as we walked into the Cavern ....there they were! At last, we were all together! We sang, danced and had a great time.The day wasn't over yet and another surprise was waiting for us.Dinner at Camp and Furnace.











It was a multifaced venue with upbeat music and there was a food festival taking place.Cuisines from all over the world (Carribean,Chinese,Lebanese. etc) offered us an array of choices to choose from.The food was very nice indeed. We chatted, listend to the music and relaxed.It was the perfect ending for a busy day.

Saturday 25th April

Saturday morning and it was time to visit the University.Marta welcomed us with a speech and a video about Chester.Students once again split into groups and participated in workshops.We, the teachers, had a tour around the premises and our meeting.Many important things were discussed since we are that close to the end of the program and we were all thrilled to hear that everyone wishes to continue our cooperation.
Enough work done! So it was time to grab a bite and explore Chester a bit more...

Mouth watering snacks and sandwiches at Bishop Lloyd's Palace and then a walk around Chester.Amazing pictures were imprinted in our minds...






































We got back to the University for some coffee and traditional scones and it was time for the students to shine.Each group presented what they liked more about Chester. They were all great and received a big applause.The presentations highlighted once again how precious this program is.



Back to our hotel to get some rest because the night was going to be long as well.We had dinner at the indian restaurant Barton Rouge .Nice decor,warm atmosphere and delicious food. We all had the time to chat with each other and get to know each other better.Afterwards some of us continued to a pub to dance the night away.











Sunday 26th April

Time to fly back home.Another unforgettable mobility came to an end.We would like to thank deeply Marta and her students for making our visit truly memorable!Cheers! See you soon everybody!
