Dear, Gessica, Barbara and Ilaria
 I would just like to say thank you for making the school trip last week something to remember. You really made everyday such a laugh and I wish that we could meet up again. I really did not want to leave. I really thought that the sights we saw were brilliant and places I would love to visit again. The Wednesday when we arrived was very terrifying as I did not know any of you but as the days went on you were some of the greatest friends I could ever have. You were funny, joyful and helpful!

On the second day when we visited the school in the morning I was petrified! I didn’t know anyone there apart from Dan, Jake and Josh. When we went to the hall to see the choir, I was also scared then, with loads of people staring at me. But, after a while, I felt better and I thought the choir was amazing! I liked it on Thursday when we did the animal card matching after the choir left, however, I wish so many of the girls didn’t think I was cute! The garbage place was good but it was very smelly! However…I managed to get loads of good pictures there. The pizza place! Wow! The food there was really nice and I loved it! I wish they served that type of pizza over here in England! The nature reserve place we went to after, the one with the lake, I found it very peaceful and calm. I saw many lizards, but never got the chance to get a picture of one!

 The church built in the rocks I thought was amazing! It must have taken ages to craft. When we then went to the fort, where the manikins were I was frightened as I have a really bad phobia of plastic manikins! Later on when we had our Tea at the holiday place, I had such a great time, and laugh, whilst there. You made that night so funny!

On Friday, I had a great time again! Going to the second nature reserve, with the peacock who was showing off, was a good place we went to. There were so many animals there and the park ranger, with all his weaponry. I found very scary! But I managed to get loads of nice pictures of the animals there! The restaurant we visited for lunch I found that I wasn’t to keen on the food…that was until the chips and desert came in! The apple cake I had was very nice and I enjoyed every bite of it! I didn’t really like the monastery place we went to after the food. I found it too quiet but it was very fascinating hearing the about the monks who still lived there, and I also got a nice chain and candle in the shop there. Which my family really liked! The walk we took from the monastery was very nice and relaxing. It wasn’t too loud and a nice place I would show my parents if we were to visit Calabria again! When we made it to the memorial statue and small lake that was built in remembrance of someone who would kneel and pray in the water. I found that very thoughtful and beautiful. It was something I would love to show my parents…well everything and place we went to I would show them but that was one I would most definitely! I would also like to say thank for the ice cream you brought us to!

Finally…one of the funniest things about that day was going to McDonalds…but I’m sure that’s something you remember a lot so I won’t blabber on about that! On Saturday, one of the saddest days there, - I would say- I found it very nice. We sat and watched the different country groups do there presentations and I got kissed and cuddled by the girls again. Had pictures with them and we told each other funny jokes and had a right laugh! The soap factory smelt funny but I brought my mum and baby sister a nice present in there and they both liked it. The beach we visited was very…um…stonier than I would’ve thought! The food at the restaurant was very sea related and I didn’t really like it. The bee presentation we watched was very fascinating and the honey tasted nice and fresh! The sight seeing spot we took the coach to after was wonderful! The sea in Italy is just so…astonishing and I wish I could store it in my suitcase and bring it back to England with me! I would like to say thank also for taking us to Tropea after the miraculous sight seeing Capo Vaticano! I was able to buy really nice presents for my family there and they really liked them! I also liked the t-shirt with Calabria on you brought me! I really liked that! But I really found it sad having to say bi to all the friends I made whilst there!

. However, I would also really like to say thank you to Ilaria and her Family! (Her whole family not just parents and sister) for the tea they provided for me and Dan that night. It was really nice to talk to your family and have a nice time. Could you please say thank you to the little boy we played football with to…I can’t really remember what his name was…but Dan and I had a funny game of football with him! The tea was nice and so was my sleep! Sunday.

. I really didn’t like having to leave Italy and you guys. However, I really liked the time we spent at the beach that day. The sea was just absolutely marvellous! But the sand was just a tad to hot for me! Could you also say thank you to your dad for me Ilaria, he took a very nice photo of me at the beach! I hated having to leave Clabria although I did have a wonderful time and I would love to visit you again! From Brandon Messer! (The small cute one)
