I got up at 4:30 in the morning, to get to the airport and catch the flight to Madrid, which was delayed due to fog, which caused us to miss the flight to Athens and had to fly to Rome, boarding at six in period and we arrived in athens at nine twenty.

When we got off the plane, we boarded a bus that dropped us off near the van that would take us to Messolongi, where we arrived at twelve o'clock at night. There we were received by our assigned families. In my case, my family (which I shared with another Spanish girl) took me by car to the house, and here the real experience began.

The mother of the family woke me up at seven twenty in the morning, gave me time to get ready and went to breakfast, then the father took us by car to school, where a lot of very nice people came to meet us, and we We got on a bus that took us to the University of Patra, where they showed us a home automation house and a robot prepared for robotics competitions.

Then we got back on the bus and went to Olympia where we had lunch and visited the museum and the archaeological remains. We returned on the bus with music, a great atmosphere and the sunset in the background. As an anecdote, the bus broke down and we had to wait for another. 

When we finally arrived the Spanish girls went out with our assigned Greek girls to have a typical meal for dinner, the gyros, then we all went to sleep because it had been a very long day and we were tired.

We had some classes in high school where we learned about Alexa and her functions and a traditional Greek dance, in which we all danced in a circle. 

In the morning we also visited a viewpoint where there were also ruins and we also went by bus to the botanical garden, where apart from talking about plants and showing us a tower built from bottles and caps, they taught us how to melt a material they could make plaques that they later gave us. That day we ate there, and around three in the afternoon we returned home and had free time.

In the afternoon we took a bus and went to the Messolongi lake, where we got on a boat and took a tour of the salt flats. Later, a colleague and I decided to swim in the lake at sunset to enjoy the experience and have a good time. In the end, we took the bus again that took us to the institute and from there we went home, showered and went out to dinner with our new group of friends. We got home around twelve o'clock and went to bed.

We got up at the same time as usual, and we walked around the city, as it was full of things to see, and we were on our way to the town hall where we met the mayor, a charming and very smiling man who gave us a talk and They gave everyone a bag full of souvenirs. We also had a few free hours in the city, where we took the opportunity to go shopping. 

That day we were picked up by the family of the girl who should have taken care of the Spanish colleague who lived with me, and we ate at her house, which gave us the opportunity to try true Greek cuisine. There we were playing some games and enjoying the time and the company with two Greek girls and a Turkish girl.

My host family picked me up again and I had some free time at home.

A while later they picked us up and took us to the salt museum, where they paid us a visit. And from there we went to the beach, where we had some free time that we used to have a drink and play volleyball together.

Later we had dinner in a restaurant, with stunning views and one of the best sunsets I've ever seen. The restaurant was next to the pier and there was a totally magical atmosphere. We all had dinner together divided into two long tables and then we all danced together the typical Greek dance that we had learned, it was a totally spectacular day, although there were also many tears, hugs and feelings, since we knew that it was already ending.

The families picked us up by car and we returned home to rest.

We got up as always at the same time, and they took us to the institute where we continued learning with Alexa and playing a kahoot about robotics, apart from sharing moments and laughter with a lot of very nice new people. There they said goodbye giving us a diploma, some sweets and a snack that we all shared, apart from many hugs and again tears. We also took the last group photo.

Some Spanish and Greek friends went to have a drink together as a farewell and from there we returned home to finish our bags and go to the bus station. A detail that would stand out was how charming the family was, and at the farewell the father gave us a rose from his garden to our house, apart from a gift for us and another for our families.

At the station we said goodbye this time, really, with lots of love and a lot of desire to see each other again and we got on the bus towards Athens.

We arrived in Athens around five in the afternoon, where we hugged with the Turkish and Portuguese companions who accompanied us on the bus, and we took a bus that took us to the hotel.

Even so, we had to walk for a while, which allowed us to admire Athens, a really beautiful city. At six we finally arrived at the hotel and an hour later we went out for a walk.

We went up to a viewpoint from where we saw the sunset with the whole city, a landscape that I fell in love with. We took thousands of photos to remember, and went down to dinner at a hamburger. We also toured a neighborhood full of lights and colors inspired by "Alice in Wonderland" Around twelve o'clock at night we returned to the hotel, took a shower and enjoyed a while in the company of the rest of our Spanish colleagues before sleeping.

My colleagues and I got up at six in the morning to see the sunrise with the Acropolis and Athens in the background from the hotel terrace, where we had breakfast, an absolutely spectacular panorama.

Then we went up to visit the acropolis and learn a little about the history of Greece, a beautiful visit.

We also had free time that we used to see the city on our own, create many memories and buy a thousand things.

That day we ate at the restaurant with the best gyros in Greece, and then we went back to the hotel.

We left at six o'clock to see the changing of the guard and climb the Filopappou hill, where we were lucky enough to see a group of people singing with an impressive background.

Then we went back and had dinner at a restaurant near the hotel all together. Upon arrival at the hotel we met to watch Eurovision although due to fatigue we all ended up asleep.

It was the last day and it was difficult for us to assimilate it, we did not want to realize the reality after all that week, and we went for the last walk through the city and bought some last minute gifts. At twelve o'clock in the morning we went back to the hotel to get our bags and we went to take a subway and then another to arrive at the airport at two o'clock. There we ate and got on the plane to Madrid, where we arrived at 7.

Our flight to Asturias was delayed, so we had some time at the airport where we continued shopping, photos and games. We also ran into a famous rapper with whom we were lucky enough to take a picture and share a flight, at twenty past ten we finally boarded, and arrived in Asturias around half past eleven. At the airport we said goodbye knowing that we had spent one of the best weeks of our lives.
