Friday the 23^rdApril

On the first day, we left Avignon at 7:28 am. It was very early. We took the train to Lille. There, we met the coach driver who drove us to Ramsgate.

Before we crossed the "Channel" we went shopping in a duty free shop.

Afterwards, we took the shuttle, to go to England. It took us 25 minutes. Nayeli :-(was ill.

We arrived in Ramsgate at half past three in the afternoon. In the town, we met English people - their clothes were fluorescent :-). After, we went for a walk on the beach. We put our feet in the sea. It was very cold and very funny. It was raining a little. At 6:30 pm, we finally met our english families. We were very excited ;-)
