MY LAST SUMMER

Well, when I finished the school, I stayed in Banyoles and everyday, except Sundays, I went to canoe training to prepare for the Sobeka Flanders Cup 15' in Belgium. But before the 11th of August we left Banyoles in a car with my family and travelled for six hours to reach la Vall d'Aran, and la Vall de Boí. It was just a space where there were two different spa hotels and common areas like swimming pools, restaurants and tennis courts. Everyday in the morning we went to differents excursions in the mountains. During the excursions I was very tired, because they were long and difficult, but it was worth it because it was wonderful. I saw many beautiful lakes, high mountains, cows, horses, shelters... And the last day, in the afternoon, we went to a spa to relax.

Finally, on Thursday 10th of September at five o'clock in the morning we left Banyoles in a bus with some canoeists of the Club Natació Banyoles and we travelled for about eighteen hours to reach Zwevegem, Belgium to compete the Sobeka Flanders Cup 15'. We arrived at about ten at night, we had dinner and we went to sleep. We slept in a kind of pavilion where there were a lot of beds. The night was cold so we had to sleep in sleeping bags. On Friday morning we went canoe training and in the river where we rowed there weren't in the good conditions: it was very small, the water was dirty and we saw some dead fish. In the afternoon we went to visit Bruges, there we bought some sweets and chocolate and we visited the museum of beer called “2be”. Saturday and Sunday were days of competitions and we got up more or less at seven o’clock, we were had breakfast and at half past eight the competitions began. On Saturday the weather was cloudy and on Sunday it rained. When they finished the competitions, we had a shower, we loaded the canoes and we went to nine at night. We arrived at Banyoles on Monday about ten o'clock in the morning and we went to school.

In conclusion, in the Vall d'Aran I saw beautiful landscapes and I relaxed, and in Belgium, I had a very good time with new friends and I could speak a little English with people from England and Belgium.
