DELPHI
On the 20th September, all of TY got in a bus and set out for a 3 hour tripto delphi. on the way there we passed loads of mountains and a numerous amount of sheep in the middle of the road. Once we got there we were told what we'd be doing for the next 2 days are were assigned our rooms. We were spilt into 2 groups one went to do high rops the others went surfig. I was in the surfing group. We got our wetsuits and got on a bus for 20 minutes to the beach.We were thought the basics how to balence and how to jump up on the board, after that we all headed into the water and surfed! I wasnt the best at it and kept getting knocked over by waves but i realy enjoyed it. We got back to the resort and all met up for dinner, which was very interesting. That evening we split off into our groups again and took part the group challnges. It was very emjoyable and we all came together as a team. We were then treated to a homemade chocolate cooie and went off to our rooms for lights out at 11pm.
The next morning we were waken at 8 for breakfast. We then got ready to go on our 20km hike through the mountains. We started off the hike on a small road which was easy enough, it wasnt till we started going up hill when it started getting challenging. It was ver difficult in parts but im glad i did it as the scenery was amazing! It took us around 5 to 6 hours to complete the hike. The buses were very quite on the way back to the resdfort, everyone was wreaked. That evening we were given dinner and set off on our evening activity, which was a campfire. We sat aroung the fire singing songs and burning marshmellows.
On our final day the groups were switced ad we went to do the highropes, which were definently very high! When we got back we were given lunch and packed up our bags. We headed home at around 2 and returned in Portumna at 5!
Overall i found the trip very beneficial, it helped me come out of my shell more and get closer to all of my classmates. Id definently reccomend for other schools to go Delphi in their TY year.
