Day 1

30 april 2017 - Altea, Spanje

Hi everyone!

This morning my mom, dad and brother brought me to the airport. We were there way too early so we had to wait for almost 2 and a half hours. It was my first time being on an airplane and I didn't really know what to do. My dad told me from his experiences that I first had to hand in my suitcase somewhere and after that I had to go to the duane. The first step was easy: my das helped me a lot, but my mom and dad weren't allowed to come with me to the duane so I had to figure out myseld how everything worked... My first plan failed: just watch what everyone else does and then copy that. So I had to ask this weird guy in uniform. Thankfully he was able to help me out and I managed to get to my gate on time.

When I was in the airplane I was pretty nervous about the flight. The plane started to shake as it was driving to the landing strip and I felt very uncomfortable. But then it started to speed up and eventually it flew into the air. It felt like my body was moving faster then my intestines and it felt amazing! :) The view made the whole trip even better! The sky was very clear and I could see the land below me. After 2 hours and 25 minutes of flying, the plane landed in Alicante. Alicante airport is 4 times as big as Eindhoven airport and again I had no idea what to do. Therefore I followed the other people coming out of the plane and eventually I found my luggage. Paco, the man from my hostfamily, was waiting for me with a big piece of paper that had my name on it. It felt like I was in a movie or something :) Unfortunatly, my hostfamily isn't very good at speaking English and I do not understand a word in Spanish...

When Paco was finished showing me the house, he gave the keys of the house and my bedroom. Soon after that I went to explore the environment. The first thing I did was looking for a supermarket. After I walked for almost 2 hours, I had to find out that there was a big supermarket in the same street as my house!

So yeah, this was the summary of day 1. See you tommorrow! :)
