We arrived in Colico intorn 9 p.m. where my mum was waiting for me, I couldn't wait to meet my family and friends to give them the little presents I bought ahahha.
It was a wonderful experience and if possible I would do it again but it wouldn't be the same without all the people we met.

In the morning we left at 5.30 and we found the three guys from the evening before waiting for us and helping us carry our luggage into the van.
They were super nice to wake up so early!
The journey was of course very long but it went well. We sang, slept and after a few breaks we arrived at our destination at around 8.30pm. We will bring with us an unforgettable experience full of stories to be told, places as incredible as they are different from the usual, altruistic people, others maybe less, but who nevertheless contributed to making this Erasmus unique and unfortunately unrepeatable.
Thanks so much everyone, I hope to see you again maybe in another life :)

We resumed the journey and after a couple more short stops we arrived in colico around 9 p.m., where I immediately found my mom and my best friend who surprised me.
I told them a lot of things, got home, gave my family little souvenirs, and we ate tiramisú.
In general i would say a very big thank you to everyone who made this very nice and unique experience possible, the time went by really fast and I had a good time, it was a pity to leave now that we had settled in so well, the only thing I won't regret will be the food.

Then we went a second time to Brno.
In the morning we went on a shopping center.
For lunch we ate pizza again because that of the previous evening had not satisfied us enough and I must say that this time it was really good, too bad about the service, the waitresses didn't speak a word of English or Italian (despite being an Italian restaurant) and one in particular was very rude and unprofessional, they arrived to take our order when we were about to go away.
In the afternoon we wandered around the centre, picked up family souvenirs, watched a good musician in the square and made a offering because he deserved it.
Then before returning we found a nice girl preparing typical trdlo (a sweet like cannoncino) and we hurriedly got a big one with caramel and biscuits crumble to share, it was really good.
We had dinner in the hotel where the teachers are staying, a menu of chicken and potatoes, and then we went back to the school.

We woke up very early and took a packed breakfast to go and catch the train that would take us to Prague, it turned out to be a direct one, so we had to walk to the other station to catch the other train which arrived after 1.5 hours.
We arrived around noon and gave ourselves and the teachers a meeting point at 4.30pm.
We had lunch at the burger king to make it quick.
In just three hours we saw a lot of sights.
Prague is a beautiful city in my opinion, it was a pity we couldn't see everything we wanted and had to do everything in a hurry, it would have been nice to stay at least one night.
I really hope to go back there again someday.
We saw the astronomical clock, the Carlo bridge, the Jhon Lennon wall, the dancing house, Palace Lucerne and I managed to change my dress that i bought the day before to the right size.
Too bad I didn't have time to go to the museum of illusionism and I was also sorry that the famous lift that never stops and the national library with its bottomless well of books were closed.
Then we bought a pizza to defrost because we were feeling homesick and took the train back to school.
When we arrived, we ate the pizza and chatted a bit and then went to sleep.

Day 5: Alessio and I got up at 8 am, to get ready for breakfast at 8:30 am, in the professors' hotel, we went down to the girls' rooms to get together and go down to wait for Prof. Fascendini who came to pick us up with the minibus, breakfast was good, finished breakfast we took a tour to the st. martin in the town of Blansko, there were many stalls of various kinds, and also the horse show, finished the tour at the fair we went to Brno, with our mythical minibus, arrived in Brno we spent the first part of the day in the mall shopping, I bought a jacket I had been looking for a long time, a Barcelona sweatshirt for me and socks for my brother as a gift, at lunch we had pizza, and I have to say it was approved both in appearance and taste, really good pizza, after lunch we did some more shopping, I went into the Lindt store and got a lindor of each flavor. Finished shopping we went to downtown Brno, truly a spectacular city that I recommend visiting at least once in a lifetime. Back in Blansko we had dinner at the hotel, finished dinner we went back to the school where most of the boys and girls were back, so this evening was a little more lively, I spent the evening in the room with a Ukrainian boy who when he saw me shouted "italian friend" and hugged me like a brother, in the room we talked a lot and I must say it was nice to be with him talking.

This morning breakfast was in the teachers' hotel, only problem when we were about to leave we noticed that the door wouldn't open so Mrs. Fascendini came to get us. When we got there there was a breakfast buffet which was very good. After breakfast we walked around Blansko since it was St. Martin's Day and the others got some souvenirs. Then we went to Brno again and stopped at a shopping center just outside the center and immediately stopped to eat; Luca, Elisa, Elena and I stopped at a restaurant to try the pizza, which was really good too bad about the service since the waitress was a little obnoxious. After that we went shopping and all of us did some great shopping (I got a Monet sweatshirt which is spacey). Then we went downtown for a walk and stopped at some stalls and tried the typical dessert which I thought was too sweet but it was still very good. We went back to school and rested for an hour or so and then went back to the teachers' hotel to have dinner. After dinner we went back and Elisa, Elena and I stayed in the room and relaxed.

the fifth day was a very free and fun day, the whole time we were shopping.  we went to the San Martino fair, where we tasted (the bravest) some worms, very good in my opinion.  then we went to Brno, where Alessio and I ate typical sandwiches and went around the huge supermarket.  around 4 we went for a walk around the city and then back to the restaurant to eat very good chicken and potatoes, but I'm tired of the potatoes ....

# data[].attributes.body
for the fifth day in the morning we all went down to walk to the teachers' hotel but all the exits were closed so they came with the bus to pick us up and for breakfast there was a buffet with cheese various jams, bread and eggs.
there was also a coffee machine that made cappuccio and macchiato.
Then we went for a walk near the hotel because there were markets for the St Martin's festival and I bought a small candle and a hand-made bee.
And then we went back to Brno, first we stopped at a shopping centre and then we went back into town to walk around and besides taking some photos I bought the last gifts for my friends and family and some clothes for myself.
Again by bus we returned to Blansko where we first rested in our rooms and sorted out our new purchases.
For dinner Professor Fascendini picked us up and we went to the hotel for dinner and had chicken which was good but the potatoes were not the best in my opinion hahahah.
After dinner we came back in the rooms and me and giulia continued a film then I went to my room.

On the fourth day we had to get up earlier than usual and they let us get a packed breakfast because the train to Prague left at 7.13.
Sudden.
We went to the wrong station and after asking the passers-by for information we waited more than an hour for the next train in the right station. These things happen but we managed to get away with speaking German as well.
Arriving in Prague after a 2-hour journey we went to the astronomical clock and from there we  took our way. We went for lunch and then started the visit. We went in search of some points of interest such as the Dancing House, the Charles bridge, and the John Lennon wall. I even managed to buy a jacket despite the short time.
Along the way we found lots of super cute little details and lots of people willing to help us find direction. Prague is very interesting and unfortunately 3 hours is very short. It was still a lot of fun getting by on your own without a guide. On the way back we bought something simple to eat and we immediately collapsed in bed.

Day 4: Alessio and I got up at 6 am to get ready, because at 6:20 am the profs were waiting for us outside the school with the bus to go to the station in Blansko, arrived at the station in Blansko it was very cold, and unfortunately there was a mistake the 7 am train to Prague: 10 am didn't stop, and we missed it because the station we were at was the wrong one, so we walked to the other station in Blansko and had to wait 2 hours before there was the other train to Prague, I took advantage of these 2 hours to get a chocolate brioche in the station cafe to have breakfast. At 9:10 am we took the train to Prague and arrived at 1 pm after a long journey, where I took advantage to sleep since we got up early. Since it was now late and we had just a few hours to visit a huge city like Prague we immediately went around the city. We saw few things compared to what we could see, but those few things were very nice. Before taking the train back to Blansko I stopped at a store to buy some magnets as souvenirs.

We got up at 5:30 that we had a train to Prague at 7. It was very cold and I was very tired and after the train we were supposed to take went by we realized we were in the wrong station so we had to look for the right one and go there. We waited about two hours and even though we were inside waiting it was still cold. On the train I slept and then we had a video call with the school that was having an open day. When we got there we went to eat and then tour of the city, which I must say is wonderful and rich in history and although we didn't have much time we saw many things, too bad about the library which was closed because it was the attraction I most wanted to see. On our sightseeing tour we did some shopping as well. We took the train back to Blansko and this time we did not made mistakes.

this morning we woke up very early to catch the train to go to Prague but we got to the wrong station and missed it so we had to wait 2 hours and in the meantime Giulia and I watched a TV series, during the journey on the train we had a short video call with the headmaster during openday and Professor Cavatorta explained the various things we did and for a short time Giulia and I were close to a Czech woman who spoke Italian and we had a short conversation ahahah.
Since we arrived late there was no guide but we were much freer so we separated from the teachers and took a tour of the area where we saw bridges and other things.
During the tour besides meeting an Italian person we saw an accident between a car and a tram.
I bought some small presents for my family and then we headed to the station this time on time ahahahah, the journey lasted 3 hours and arrived at the dormitories we ate some frozen pizzas bought in Prague all together and we all went to sleep

# data[].attributes.body
Today was a busy day ahaha.
The alarm went off at 6 in the morning, at 6.20 with the teachers we headed to the station, or rather the wrong station, because the train passed without stopping.
We went to another station where we waited until 9:45 to catch the train to Prague.  Finally in Prague we separated from the professors, we visited the funnel-shaped house and the two really beautiful Prague bridges, we walked all the time so we trained.
Going back we saw two accidents, the first was between a tram and a car, while the second was between a bike and a man.
On top of that we took a three hour train journey and after that I am very tired but really satisfied.

The third day we woke up at the same hour of the day before and we had the same breakfast. At around 8.30 we took two buses that took us to Brno, the second largest Czech city. We were hosted by some guys who were having a barteding competition and they even let us taste some cocktails made by them. After thanking them, we went by tram to the city center and there was Martin, the guide who showed us some of the peculiarities of Brno, for example the Spielberg castle or the main theater. We had lunch in a pub with meat and of course local dishes and afterwards we had an hour free to shop and have a coffee at Starbucks. At around 4pm we took two buses back to Blansko and dinner was waiting for us. After getting ready, all six of us were in the room talking, even in English, and laughing. After that we went to sleep because the alarm would go off early the next day.

Brno is a very beautiful city in my opinion, at 1 p.m. we went to eat in a typical Czech restaurant, I ordered pork tenderloin with potatoes, after lunch we all went shopping in the city of Brno, I bought a pair of socks from stranger things, a Netflix series, after shopping we went to starbucks and got a strawberry frappuccino with whipped cream on top. At 4 p.m. we took the bus from Brno to Blansko, and then from Blansko station to our school. As soon as we got to school we had dinner and after dinner we went to the girls because unfortunately the boys and girls went home for the weekend. Tomorrow we go to Prague

We woke up at about 7.30am and we had breakfast in the school restaurant. The students prepared us coffee, orange juice and some other stuffs such as cheese, bread and butter. Afterwards they accompanied us to the conference room and welcomed us by making us play some simple games prepared by them. We took the opportunity to get to know each other better and they were all super friendly right from the start. Not all of them were able to speak english but somehow we managed to understand each other. After which they showed us their school and the machinery of the mechanical sector. It was huge!! At 11.30am we had lunch still in the school restaurant and we ate broccoli and cauliflower soup, chicken with mashed potatoes and at the end a slice of cheesecake. After lunch the students were waiting for us in one of their classroom and they showed us a research and curiosities about the Czech Republic. So we improvised too and talked about Italy and the valley we live in, talking about foods and places to visit.  They were so interested in what we were saying and, after exchanging instagram profiles, some of them took us to a local pub. We visited the city of Blansko and at 5pm we came back to school and had dinner. Dumplings and red cabbage.
At evening, we went to a tea house with some Czech and Ukrainian students and they taught us some foreign words while we were playing desk game and drinking tea. Before returning to the dormitory we had a stop at a local restaurant/pub and  it was super fun. They were all extroverts and the funniest part was trying to speak english. It's wonderful to think how guys our age have been so kind and patient, making us feel welcome right away.

We left Colico at 6.10am and the trip lasts 15 hours. After several stops we arrived to Blansko in Czech Republic and Ana, the local contact person, was waiting for us. She introduced herself and she

showed us the rooms. On the desks we found some maps of the cities and food such as candies, biscuits, fruits and a couple of bottle of juice.

We split up in pairs and in the corridors there were the students with whom we immediately started talking.

Of course after such a long trip we were all tired and once we got ready, we went straight to sleep.

This morning we got up and had breakfast at school and then took the bus to Brno.
We stopped just before Brno to go to a bartender where the bar girls of two different schools had a fancy cocktail contest that we had to taste and a girl named like me but in Czech (eliska) won.
Then we took the streetcar, once we arrived in Brno we were greated by the very nice and friendly guide Martin who gave us a tour of the city, it reminded me a lot of Milan but smaller with many churches and palaces.
We saw the overview of the city from above.
Elena found a geocatching treasure.
For lunch Martin took us to eat at a typical place, I didn't like the food very much, it was so spicy and the portions were too large.
After lunch we did an hour of shopping and I got a wrong size dress that I hope I will be able to change.
Afterwards we went back to school by bus and immediately had dinner.
After dinner we all met together in our room and played games and talked in English.

# data[].attributes.body
We got up later than usual because we noticed that the students here dress poorly and we decided to go to breakfast in our pajamas. After breakfast we changed and went to take the bus towards Brno where we attended a bartender class where some guys from the school were making drinks that they let us taste and some were really good. After the class we went downtown and our guide Martin took us around the city, which I must say is beautiful, and then took us to eat at a typical place and I expected the food to be different. We went shopping and it was funny when the cashier spoke very fast to me in Czech and I had to tell her that I didn't understand anything and to speak in English; we went to starbucks and then took the bus back and for a moment I thought that somehow we had taken the wrong bus but luckily after some difficulties we got back to school. In the evening the food was very good (potatoes with butter and some meat) too bad we were all very full from lunch. After dinner we gathered in our room and relaxed together.

# data[].attributes.body
Day three: we had breakfast and there were even slices of cake, guided by the teacher and some students we went to Brno where we first saw a bartending competition and then visited the city very similar to Milan in terms of shops and transport.
A professor guided us around the city explaining the various buildings and how the Czech Republic is connected in various ways with Italy.
We went to eat at a local crotto, I had a dish with verudre and pieces of chicken and it was good.
After dinner we went shopping and to starbucks where I had a strawberry Frappuccino and it was very good.
With some difficulty we made it back safely haha.
We had dinner at school even though we were already full and we all stayed in the room together.

third day was very nice, we always started with the usual breakfast, only today there was a very nice and very good hazelnut cake.  Immediately after breakfast we went outside to visit Brno, a very nice city very similar to Milan.
We had a guide who explained to us that Brno and Italy are connected, because the Italian Carbonari were imprisoned in Brno.  After that we went to eat in a kind of typical crotto;  I ate the gülasc, a very soft meat dish, bread and potatoes, and it was quite spicy, but very good.
After lunch we went shopping and all went to starbucks together.
Around 4 we took the tram and went back to school even if the communication was not the best ahahaha.
As soon as we arrived we ate potatoes and meatloaf, while during the evening we went to the gym and watched a movie all together.

Day 2: Alessio and I got up at 7:30 am to get ready for breakfast at 8 am, we went down to the girls' rooms to get together and go down and have breakfast all together, breakfast was good, finished breakfast we went back to the rooms to wait for 9 am time when we had the tuor of the school, we got together and went to a conference room where the czech boys made us play games where we used our 5 senses. After the games were over 2 alumni took us to do the tuor of the whole school, it was really very big, at 11: 30 am we had lunch with traditional czech dishes, after lunch we participated in an English lesson where the boys presented us with a power point about their country, after the lesson was over the boys invited us to go to a typical pub, and after that we took a mini tour around the city of blansko, back to school we gathered in a room to wait for dinner time, we had dinner at 5 pm that's crazy, at 6 pm we went together with other students from the school to a tea house where we drank tea and played a board game in pairs, I was paired with a czech girls and she was very nice and friendly and we talked a lot about formula 1 and moto gp, I never expected to find a fan like her. Before going back to school we went to a bar all together to get to know each other even better, I made friends with everyone but especially 3 czech girls, they were very nice. Back to school, we went up to the rooms to drop off our jackets and gathered on the girls' floor for about ten minutes because it's curfew at 10 pm. I am looking forward to tomorrow!

Day 1: On the day of departure, we met at 6 am at the Continental, then left for Blansko in a minibus. The trip was very long, it lasted 15 hours, we made stops to eat, and to go to the bathroom. We had lunch in Austria, and I had bratwurst with French fries and a slice of strüdel. For dinner we stopped in Brno at a Mcdonalds, and I had a very good sandwich, with beef burgers, bacon, and fried cheese; I was disappointed with the nuggest, which I did not like, although I always get them. When we arrived in Blansko we went into the rooms and settled in and then went to sleep.

We (me and elisa) got up earlier than everyone else to wash our hairs since we were tired the night before and went straight to bed. Breakfast was very hearty; and I felt sorry for the kids who were there because you could see they were shy and didn't know how to speak to us, but some of them tried and I appreciated it. After breakfast they took us to the conference room where they had us play little games where they showed us a little bit about the Czech Republic and there were some very nice boys who were eager to make friends and get to know us but one in particular was too swaggering and direct and in my opinion needed to calm down for a moment. After the games some of the boys who were there with us took us on a tour of the school and I can say for sure that it is twice if not three times bigger than ours (they have three basketball courts and a mechanics room as big as three of our classrooms). After the tour of the school we had lunch and the soup they served us was delicious (cabbage and broccoli soup) and I think I will try to recreate it at home, they served a second course but because of my intolerances I could not taste. We had the English class and there they told us more about the Czech Republic and we talked a little bit about Chiavenna and Valchiavenna talking about the things to see and eat but it was all very improvised and some very nice guys got very interested and asked us questions and it was nice, maybe the first time I felt proud to be Italian. During the day we noticed that most of them don't know English so only those who knew a little or those who had the courage to jump in and try spoke to us. After class the boys wanted to take us on a tour of the city and there we made friends with some of the boys who had previously taken us around the school; we used the atm and luckily it came out automatically in Italian so I who knew how to use it had no problem helping others; afterwards they took us to a typical beer hall here given the great importance of beer in the Czech Republic. Around 3 o'clock one of the teachers came and took us to other parts of Blansko and showed us where the teachers sleep. At 5 p.m. we had dinner (meat-stuffed dumplings with some red cabbage and water that tasted like lavender), which was crazy since I'm used to eating very late, and it didn't bl0w me away but I'm glad I tried something different. After dinner they took us to this tea house and there it's like you're sitting on the floor and you have to take off your shoes; we tried some typical teas and the thing that surprised me the most was that they drink the tea bitter and we played a monopoly but Czech. I felt really sorry for the teacher/boy who was there with us trying to get us to settle in but you could tell he was struggling but anyway it was very nice and the place gave me a lot of positive vibes.

We spent it mainly in the bus (about 15 hours) but we stopped several times and met the two third graders who before now i didn't know who they were. It was beautiful to see Austria from the windows as we traveled and it gave me good vibes and the feeling of autumn in general. We stopped several times but in my opinion this made the trip less heavy. Just before we reached blansko we stopped at the Mc Donald and there we approached the czech environment for the first time. When we arrived at the school we were welcomed by one of the teachers and the first impression of Mss. Hana was very nice, she introduced herself to us and was very kind and helpful. She showed us the rooms and my first impression was “wow it's big”, I had no expectations or anything like that but the room is totally different from how dorm rooms are in Italy. We emptied our bags and quickly washed up and went straight to bed.

For the second day we woke up at 7.30 and had breakfast in the student residence, I didn't eat much as I don't usually eat breakfast.
Around 9 a.m. we went to the conference room where we talked with students and played games like puzzles, guessing sounds and songs and guessing objects.
We had lunch there and the food was kind of good, afterwards we had an English lesson where they explained what the Czech republic is like and we talked about Italy and our valleys.
We went with some students on a tour of the city.
For dinner we ate some sort of dumplings and then headed for the tea room where we drank tea and played games.
Today we got very close to our new friends and they are really funny :))

# data[].attributes.body
For the first day we left at 6 a.m. from Colico and passed through Austria and arrived in Blansko at 9.40 p.m. It was a long journey but not too boring since we knew each other.
We stopped 5/6 times and saw beautiful landscapes from the window.
And it was a lot of fun watching the teachers drive.
When we arrived, Professor Hana welcomed us and we found lots of things to drink and eat on our desks.
The students seemed very curious

Karol and I woke up early to wash up because we were too tired the night before.
We had breakfast in the school where we were served by the girls of there, they seemed very shy and the first impact with the language was not very good because they spoke little English.
Afterwards we went to the conference room where we met many boys who made us play games and one boy in particular made shameless moves on me .
From there they took us on a tour of the school which is really huge, they have lots of labs, relaxation areas, gymnastics courts and even a gymnasium with the equipment.
Afterwards we had lunch always in the school with also the teachers,  we ate a soup and a main dish with chicken and mashed potato, it was very good.
After lunch the Czech guys gave us a presentation about the Czech Republic and we improvised and told them about Valchiavenna and showed them pictures.
In the afternoon we went with some of the Czech guys to try typical beer in a place that reminded me a lot of our pubs in particular we sympathized with David.
We withdrawed at the ATM and luckily was less difficult than expected.
Then we toured Blansko.
We had an early dinner at 5 p.m. with dumplings.
By 6 p.m. we were already on our way to "Ulita" a very particular place where people go to drink special teas and play board games, there we all got to know each other better and found out that they are very nice.
After that the teacher Tamasch take us for a while to a pub to try another type of typical beer and i think this time was better.
We came back to school before 10 p.m. because there is a curfew and then we went to sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
The trip lasted 15 hours, we left in the morning at 6 a.m. from Colico and arrived around 9 p.m.
We had 6 breaks.
The trip was quite boring, but we knew our schoolmates.
It was nice as we drove through Austria to see from the window the colorful, pointy houses in the middle of the grasslands and the immensity of tall, thin pine trees.
We stopped there at a very atmospheric restaurant to eat and I bought a gemstone at a stone distributor.
When we were almost there we stopped for dinner at the mcdonald.
Once we arrived the teacher Hana, very kindly welcomed us and escorted us to our rooms where we found lots of food as a welcome.
With a broken back we went to sleep.

My first day was very monotonous, made up of 15 hours of travel, it was great to see our teachers guide with a lot of skill ahaha. It was exciting to meet and become friends with my 5 adventure companions.

A very exciting thing was the fact that some girls, our very nice room neighbors, immediately showed up and we started to get to know each other talking from the window since the curfew here is 10am. Another thing I did not expect is to have found a lot of both sweet and salty food in our rooms, accompanied by many different drinks. Everyone seems very kind and curious.

We'll see how it goes tomorrow ciauuu.

The second day was wonderful, we woke up at 7.30 am to go and enjoy a very good and abundant breakfast, based on yogurt, cheese, ham, bread, butter and jam.

During the morning we played with some games created by them and then we went around the school and it is huge; much larger than ours.

We had lunch with the teachers, it was a lunch consisting of soup, chicken and a very good chesscake even if very spicy.

Immediately after lunch we went to do English lessons to get to know Blansko a little. Soon after we went for a tour of the city with the boys from here and the English teacher; really very nice and kind.

We had dinner for 5pm and soon after we went to the tea room, where we enjoyed many kinds of tees with the Czech and Ukrainian guys, who were very welcoming and kind to us.

I hope it is like this every day and that it always gets better.
