Saturday- The 5th day- The cruise day-17.04.2010

*
Saturday.
We had to wake up really early on that morning. Met in front of the school as always and started going. First it was like 1 hour ride by bus to the port in Régua. Then the Porto Cruz started. First it was raining and we just sat inside the cruise ship. The ship itself had 2 floors. The first floor was a fancy little restaurant and the upper floor was a deck for people, who were interested in dancing, making good photos of the nature, tanning etc.
It was not a big ship and therefore it was booked just for the people in the project.

Everybody had their cameras turned on and we were all stunned by the view in the valley.
The journey lasted for 5 h and ofcourse, a delicious lunch was included.
We had to go through 2 canal locks(2.pic), and had to do lots of waiting and siting on the deck.

We used the free time for spending time together. We had 3 guitars with us, but we couldn't find lots of songs to sing all together. Some people were dancing or talking. Some enjoyed the songs and were just lying on the deck. We made pictures with almost everybody to keep this beautiful memory in our hearts, heads and computers.

When we arrived to Porto, it was raining heavily. We visited only one church and then had some free time for shopping.

We came back with 2 trains. There we communicated with each other and had a nice time. Of course some of us were sleeping, because it had been a long day.

In the evening there was a rock-concert in the school. Comenius people were all related to the first band, because one boy form our group(Filipe), was playing bass-guitar there. The band was really good and was playing popular songs! I believe all members of the project will keep their fingers crossed and wish to see the band on a big stage one day.
In the second band, the physics teacher form that school, performed. So the whole concert was fully connected to that school.

We left the school at midnight and went to our homes.

It was already the 5th day in Portugal for Estonians, first free-of-school day for the whole project and the only day on a cruise.
I hope we will remember the day as it was- fantastic!
