Buckfast Abbey
May 12 in England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
We left Cornwall today and headed through Devon and Dorset until we reached Salisbury in Wiltshire, a very scenic drive.

We had a morning stop at Buckfast Abbey in Buckfastleigh, which has been home to a Benedictine monastery since 1050. Monks still live on site and practice there.

We drove through some towns with great names - Newtown Poppleford, Wobbly Weel, Cat and Fiddle and also Beer!Read more

Day 6: Kayaking and English Lessons
November 14, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Hi everyone and welcome back to our blog. Today was monday and we had very much fun.

In the morning we had english lessons with Cheryl. In the class we wrote our diaries and played some fantastic games like categories. After some delicious noodles we left for kayaking. There we got into the water with the wetsuits and life jackets. On the water we did some exercises like white shark to help us controlling the kayak. The lake was cold. When everyone was falling into the water Jo said we need to drive home.

In summery the day was really exciting. Please let us know what you think about it. See you tomorrow. Bye!

From Sophie-Elise and Aurelia.
PS: We have also attached some pictures from our evening activities.Read more

Day 8
Tavistock, eine alte Marktstadt
June 3 in England ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

Nach dem Frühstück, Auto packen (wie sollen wir das nur alles im Flieger mitnehmen ohne Übergepäck zahlen zu müssen??? 🤔) und einem letzten Blick von unserer Terrasse ging es um 10.30h los zu unserem nächsten Haus: Heightley House in Treknow.

Ein absolutes Muss auf dem Weg dorthin war der Abstecher nach Tavistock zu einem der (für mich) schönsten Märkte, dem Pannier Market. Tavistock ist eine Kleinstadt in Devon am Randes des Dartmoors 🥰.

Der Pannier Markt findet sowohl in einer historischen Halle als auch in den umliegenden kleinen Geschäften statt. Man findet dort selbstgemachte Dinge, Flohmarktkrempel, selbst gebackenes, Fotografien, Malereien, Gartenbedarf, Kleidung, Geschirr, .... In den umliegenden Geschäften, die noch zu dem Gebäude gehören findet man einen Käseladen, kleine Restaurants & Cafés, Galerien und meinen Lieblingsladen, der unglaublich tolle Gewürzmischungen hat. Und so süß und liebevoll dekoriert ist. Soooo lovely 🥰
Kurz gesagt: man findet hier immer was! Und endlich habe ich auch Wimpel mit Union Jack gefunden 😜🇬🇧
In die herzallerliebsten blauen Welly Boots mit den Bienchen drauf war ich schockverliebt. Habe sie aber schweren Herzens nicht gekauft 😭.

Shoppen ist anstrengend, daher haben wir uns noch gestärkt vor der Weiterreise.Read more

Traveler Hoffentlich reicht die Kohle fürs Übergepäck. !!

Day 4: Sunshine, Archery & Market
November 12, 2022 in England ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Hi guys, today we want to tell you about our fourth day in Moorland Hall.

So first of all we went to the small town Tavistock. There we went to a museum to answer questions, wich we got from Joe. After we answered the questions we went to a courtroom and did some roleplaying. It was pretty fun. Then we went to a market wich was next to the museum. There we ate Cornish pastes. They were really tasty. Next we bought some gifts for our parents. We drove home with joes van.

In the afternoon we did some archery, Elias was the best in the five arrow competition with 37 points. We also did some box stacking and Benni and Cingiz set a new record with 16 and a half. Afterwards we had dinner and went to bed.

We met Florestan, Tine and Linde at what must be the most atypical Airbnb ever - a sheep pasture - where we pitched our tent. Despite the awful weather prediction, we had an amazing day exploring the cute village of Totnes and hiking in Dartmoor National Park.Read more

LAST DAY IN ENGLAND

Today is our last day in England. Whe had a beautiful day. Some kids went biking in the morning while others had their last English class. We think mountainbiking was one of the best activities. We got our bikes and our helmets and we rode very fast down one of the hills. We also got very dirty!

For lunch we had we had pizza. It was really good. In the afternoon we swapped over. The kids who were biking in the morning had English while the other kids learned survival skills ( see the pictures).

In the evening had a cream tea, which was really delicious. For dinner we will have some pasty and after that we are going to have our plays.Read more

Hello everyone, today I am going to tell you all about that we are doing.

This morning we woke up and we had enough time to get ready for breakfast. My friends and I had to lay the table. Before going to breakfast Joe told use about what we are going to be doing:

The plan was for group A to have English lessons and group B go to Dartmoor. The lessons were fun and we played lots of games.

Afterwards we visited Dartmoor national park. We stayed there for about three hours. The landscape was beautiful. It was a bit cloudy but all good. We also saw the army train in the hills. There was one hole where you sink about three meters. On the way back we visited a bridge. It was built over 4000 years ago. By Leonie & Jonas!Read more

Day 8
Day 8: High Ropes Garden
November 16, 2022 in England ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
Today we had a thrilling experience:

We split into two groups. The first one had English in the morning and the high rope garden and leap of faith in the afternoon. Group two did rhe leap of faith and high rope in the morning and had English in the afternoon.

Both English classes talked about the day of tolerance. We learned a lot and then we played a role play. Both groups played different role plays.

Then we did high rope. High rope is a parkour in trees with safety equipment. We started with a practice course and then we moved to the big one. It was really funny but it was really wet and slippery. After the high rope we did the leap of faith. By leap of faith you go on a platform in the sky and jump and try to grab a hanging ball. It was a bit scary but also funny. The day was a lot of fun.Read more

We were all a little concerned about today as the climbing profile looked very daunting (again) and all still tired from yesterday. However, pleasantly surprised as it seemed less strenuous.

A wedding was taking place at the 13th century Brentor Church, perched high up overlooking the green farmland on one side and desolate Dartmoor on the other. Greg walked to the top, but I viewed from a distance and then coffee beckoned!

We left Cornwall and entered Devon, skirted around Bodmin Moor and the windswept, barren Dartmoor National Park. The final section had us on the Granite Way which follows the course of the former Southern Region railway line and crossing the historic Meldon viaduct.

Distance: 55km. 870m ascentRead more
