I
n May, a few some students had the opportunity to visit Croatia to immerse ourselves in the
life and culture, as well as to connect with the
Comenius partner school. Croatia is a small
country in Europe, yet I feel it is one of
the most beautiful. It is located in the
south east of Europe, and borders with
Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Hungary.
For me, and a lot of other people, the end
of May was a perfect time to go, as we
didn’t turn into strawberries from the
heat. Also, the food is absolutely amazing;
including the delicious ice cream. I can’t
remember how much ice
cream we ate, but whenever
we went anywhere we were
sure to get a scoop.
The independence that the
teachers allowed us to have
was a great addition to the
trip, as we were allowed to
explore the capital, Zagreb, as
well as Čakovec, the Comenius
partner’s town on our own.
We also visited Varaždin, the old
capital of Croatia.
