Two weeks ago was our Fall Break, and some big trips were in store for us. A group went to Italy for the week, and two went to Poland. As for me, I took an individual trip with Alex and Lindsey to the Spanish island, Ibiza. Ibiza is a small island off the coast of Spain. Arriving there late at night, we did not get the chance to see the beauty of the island until the next day. The weather was sunny and warm, and going to the beach was a treat for us, as we spent two months in foggy Richmond. Our week was spent, walking around, swimming and lying on the sand. We also went on a two hour cruise which took us out along the coast to see other beaches and swim in the crystal blue water. Alex, Lindsey and I met a person from Australia who was travelling Europe for six months. Learning this about our new friend, made me think of seeing myself doing this, but when I am older. Travelling Europe is fairly easy and the opportunity to do is not be passed. Being here in London we have that opportunity.
Following our week off, an adventure weekend in Wales was in store for a few of us. This weekend involved some outdoor activities such as surfing or kayaking, hiking and coasteering. Coasteering involves climbing rocks along the coast and when you see a place to jump off into the water, you do. This was the highlight as it was the most exciting activity. Surfing was good, with the waves and nice water. Ending with the seven mile hike in the morning was a great end to the weekend, and we got to see Wales with its coast and fields of sheep and cows. Wales was another great trip that has filled this semester and being almost complete with this semester has me excited to fit more trips and experiences into the time we have in Europe before we return to the States.
