Fifth day / Peti dan

Put započinjemo u Forte di Bardu, staroj utvrdi na vrhu brežuljka, koja je danas pretvorena u muzej posvećen alpinizmu. Nakon kraćeg uspona žičarom, sami bez vodiča prolazimo kroz interaktivni muzej. Silazimo pješice te hodamo, rimskom cestom, do manjeg grada Donnasa gdje poslije ručka posjećujemo muzej vina. Tužni se vraćamo u dvorac, a nakon večere i dodijele simboličkih nagrada, zajedno s ostalim učenicima prisustvujemo oproštajnoj zabavi..

We start in Forte di Bard, old fort at the top of a hill, which was turned into a museum dedicated to mountain climbing. After short driving by cable railway, without a guide we visited interactive museum. We continued walking down the Roman road to the small town Donnas where we visited Vine Museum after lunch. We went back to the castle feeling quite sad, after dinner and simbolic award giving, together with other students we participated in our farewell party.

Sixth day / Šesti dan

Ujutro se nevoljno budimo, pakiramo te se uz posljednji obrok u Italiji zahvaljujemo osoblju koje se brinulo za nas. Pri dolasku na aerodrom prvo se opraštamo s učenicima iz Litve i Portugala s kojima smo se i najviše zbližili. Na željezničku stanicu stižemo u zadnji čas te ponovno idemo rutom koja nas je i dovela u Italiju. U Anconi se u 20 sati ukrcamo na trajekt, a u Split dolazimo u 7 i onda sjedamo u autobus koji nas vodi do Metkovića. Na putu kući vrtimo u glavi sve što nam se izdogađalo ovih par dana tužni, ali i sretni jer smo obogaćeni za jedno novo iskustvo. Osim tog iskustva pred nama su odgovornost da sljedeće godine u ovo vrijeme organiziramo putovanje i boravak svih učenika kod nas u dolini Neretve. Izazov je da taj boravak bude jednako dobar, ako ne i bolji od našeg u Italiji.

After waking up and packing we thanked the staff during our last meal in Italy for pleasant hospitality. At the airport we said goodbye first with Latvian and Portuguese students who we got closest with. We arrived on the train station at the last moment and went back the same route we arrived. In Ancona we caught the ferry at 8 o'clock p.m., and took off in Split at 7 a.m. After that we caught the bus to Metković. Travelling back home we thought about everything that happend to us in these few dayes with sadness,, but also with happiness because of new experience. Part from that experience we have a responsibility to organise mobility and visit for other students to our Neretva Valley next year same time. It will be a challenge to organise a stay as good as this one, or even a bit better.
