Hello, Holland! (09.04)

Today is 9th of April and today our journey starts. Boys and girls are checking their luggage, talking about Holland, airports, road and exchange partners. Everyone hopes that it will be wonderful trip. We stay near the school. There are a lot of parents, friends, classmates. All of them want to say goodbye and hug us.

It’s time to sit in the bus. And now we are on the way to the airport. Girls are taking funny selfies, boys are talking about flight at the moment. Nobody sleeps, every person is excited.

After some time we stay at the café for breakfast, but most of people don’t want to eat. Maybe they are a bit nervous (or they don’t like omelette:D).

The time passes quickly, and we are at the airport. We see a lot of foreigners (even group of Holland people), give our luggage to airport’s stuff and check our documents. One of the most difficult parts is passed. 

 

In free time we are walking throw duty-free and watching other travelers. It is wonderful, I think, to see a lot of nations and people in one building. That’s why I like airports. In addition, some of us have never been on a plane, so, we comfort them.

Finally, we are on the plane. During our flight we are talking with the flight attendant, trying to speak English and sharing our impressions. We keep in touch with the our Dutch partners, and they say «Good flight!» At high altitude we see a beautiful view: a lot of clouds under plane, bright sun and aircraft wing. (I think, everybody took a photo of this:D)

The plane lands, we clap our hands, saying «thanks» to the pilot, but no one does it except us. Probably, it is only Russian tradition. First time after flight we keep silence. It is difficult to fly on a plane, everybody is tired and excited. We can’t believe that we are in Holland now! After the last corner we finally see them, we see our partners! We see their families and smile on their faces. They are waiting for us. We hug, get acquainted with the members of family and each of us goes to the new home!
