After starting the day with breakfast, the happy campers got their money and a fruit snack before getting on the coach for the excursion to Astorga. The coach trip of singing came to an end when we reached the outskirts of Astorga, where we walked 3km along the Camino de Santiago towards the city. There was a sigh of relief every time we reached and seeked refuge in the shade from the heat. As we got near the city, we all divided into groups. My group first went to the chocolate museum. In the museum the tour guide showed us around and explained about flavours, the process, marketing, etc.
Before we left the museum, everyone was taken to the shop to buy some chocolate treats. Next shop was the Palacio de Gaudi. We had a wander around, looking at all the beautiful architecture before heading off past the gift shop to have lunch. After lunch we visited the Roman museum. Before heading off to the bus, we had a quick ice cream stop - who doesn't love ice cream?! On the trip back to the camp a few tired campers nodded off, while surprisingly others still had the energy to chant playground songs.
As soon as we got back to the camp everyone went to have free time to shower and make phone calls. After they are going to have dinner and play a night game with the Spanish monitors.
