Day 3 in Cornwall

Thursday  was devoted to the Camel trail. We went biking along the River Camel from Wadebridge to Padstow, which is small town by the Camel estuary. A very pitoresque part of Cornwall where we and the kids enjoyed lunch in the sun. We also had some time to explore Padstow.

Tonight we will say farewell to our Comenius friends. The teachers will have a farewell dinner and the students will have time to go bowling

Day 2 in Cornwall

Day two of the Comenius Adventure.....

This day we traveled to the Eden Project, a giant biosphere contruction.Eden Project claims to have the largest artificial rainforest in the world. We do not doubt that.

Today we had a lovely day with our Comenius friends. We started out early at St Cleer school. We had a "Tree Treasure Hunt".

After lunch we went to Golitha Falls Woodland and had a guided tour by Ken Preston. Ken is a biologist and expert on plants and fungi. He is also a reknowed author and has participation in several BBC productions. Afterwards we where invited to the home of Mrs Colleen Fleming where we enjoyed Cornish Cream Tea.

Coordinators meeting Stockholm

Dear Swedish Team,
the Germans arrived home this afternoon save and secure and with mixed feelings. In deed it felt good being home again especially because of twenty degrees ;-) But the wonderful week in Stockholm went by really fast and it was a pleasure to see you all. So thank you once more for the perfect week filled with friendship, warmth and constructive working ;-) Sitting here eating my not very well tasting pizza, I remember the wonderful soup at Rosendahls Garden. Well, we'll be back...
Hej då och vi ses!
Claudia
