After a short period of sleep we awoke at 7.30 am to say our goodbyes to the family.
We had an enormous lack of sleep because of the evening in the park before. After hugging every member and thanking them for the wonderful time we went back to our room again. Sleeping wouldn't work anymore so I started to read my book. After a while we went back downstairs to have some breakfast and something magical had happened: there was ham in the fridge. We had to take our luck so we made toast with butter and ham. After a week you do miss meat, or a normal breakfast at least. Around 10 am we went to the center to do some window shopping. We had some coffee at Flirt afterwards and waited for Evelien and Megan. They didn't show so we went to Tesco, where we ran into them. We bought some lunch and did some more shopping afterwards. I bought new trousers at Primark because the host family mom was so generous to do our washing but she managed to make my pants even dirtier than they were before. Fei and I had to leave earlier because of our lessons which took place until 5.45 pm. The first lesson that day was straight hell. Ben wasn't in a good mood so we were expected to keep silence every second of the lesson. The following lesson with Bonnie was a bit better. Because the 'original' family had left to Italy their parents took their place. They were really friendly and the grandmother was exactly how grandparents are: trying to stuff you with all their food and always worrying if you haven't had enough. In the evening we went to the beach and we tried to find a good spot which was hard because of the rain (Go England! Finally showing your real face here). We finally found one underneath the oceanarium but we didn't stay for long and went back to the park again, it was turning into a hard habit to shake off.
