Centenary Tour: departure and arrival in UK
Mónica Bruck (Humanities Department Coordinator, in charge of the boys, together with their sports teachers) reports:
December 6th: We all arrived on time at the airport, checked in our luggage without any difficulties and then passed the immigration control. Once in the boarding area, some boys had some snacks and others checked out the duty free till our flight departure was called. It was really great to see them so enthusiastic and excited about the trip. We had an excellent flight that lasted around twelve hours. They played cards, watched movies and some of them were able to get some sleep. We were offered dinner and breakfast and arrived in Spain right on schedule.
December 7th: We did not have to wait too long to catch our connecting flight to London. We arrived at the hotel at around 1 pm and as most of the boys were tired they went to rest for a little while and in some cases had a light lunch on their own. We met at the hotel lobby at three thirty and we decided to visit the British Museum instead of the Natural History Museum because it is only a few blocks away from the hotel. We all explored the Museum at our own pace because it is very big but most of us did not miss the famous Rosetta Stone. We had dinner at 8.30 but the rugby boys had a light training before. After we dinner we went for a short walk because it started to rain. We really did the most of our first day!!
