I recently had a two center college trip in the South of France. The trip was run through PGL, a very popular place for outdoor activities.
We left for France on the morning of Saturday 20th June 2015 at about 9am... for a 22 hour coach trip, what had I let myself in for, considering I get travel sickness!
We made it to Dover at about lunch time, ready for the ferry... Great, another type of travel to make me feel ill.
However, through taking travel sickness pills and wristbands I avoided it... Thankgod!
The longest part of the journey was travelling from Calais to Mimosa, our first center for activities. Saying I ached is only minimal.
We arrived Sunday morming in time for breakfast, got all our cases into our tents and set of to the beach for a chilled morning before going on the Pico boats that afternoon. A long and tiring day to say the least.
I'm not going to go through each day as that can turn to be pretty boring.
So after 3 nights in Mimosa we traveled down to Segries, after spending a few hours at Aqualand water park ofcourse!
Segries is where we canoed for 3 days in a row... I know it sounds a lot of work and how boring, but actually each day was completely different in its own little way. Each Corner you turned down the river was another magnificent view that I had to take a photo of (with my disposable camera (old school)). It was amazing hearing monkeys in the trees right beside us, unfortunately we didn't spot any but it was awesome just the same!
The last day that we canoed we also left to come back home to England!
I seriously did not want to leave... I would happily of stayed there for another week.
A bonus was that I acc tanned a little so I actually don't look like Snow White :').
This was the best holiday since I can remember... It will be one I wont forget, especially as I spend it with some amazing people!
It's sort of sad really though as most of us have now finished our college lives so won't be seeing each other most days. I wish them all good luck in the future!
Here are a few photos from the trip!
