Today was a great day on our exchange in Italy!
We started the morning with a two-hour bus ride to Sirmione, a beautiful town on Lake Garda. Once we arrived, a guide took us on a tour through the city. We walked through charming streets, saw the historic site of “Grotto Catullus” and enjoyed amazing views of the lake. It was really interesting to learn more about the place while exploring together.
After the guided tour, we went out for pizza with the Italian students. It was a fun moment to relax, talk and enjoy some authentic Italian food together.
In the afternoon, we had some free time. Everyone could choose what they wanted to do, so we explored the town in small groups. Some of us had a drink on a terrace, others enjoyed delicious Italian ice cream, and of course we all spent some time looking around in the local shops.
Tonight, some of us are heading out in Cernusco, which we are really looking forward to. It’s been a day full of new experiences, good food and great company!
