This weekend we went on a field trip to the Picos de Leon
(the Peaks of Leon) with our school group.
Our first stop was at a beautiful little town called Riaña, which for me couldn’t have come early enough as I wasn’t feeling
tip top after the windy roads. Our next stop was to see a beautiful look out
point where we could see the mountains and the cloud cover laying in the
middle. The peaks were so high that they went straight through the clouds and
just kept on going.

The weather was glorious and we set off on a
10km hike through some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen.
There were streams and waterfalls, beautiful lush greenery and gardens and lots
of very cute animals, little calves and foals all along the way.

We stopped for lunch part way along and
patted some very confident horses that came to say hello. In the afternoon we
walked to a beautiful part of the river where the walkway is carved into the
side of the cliff and extends for 10km to Asturias. Unfortunately only a month
ago it caved in 6km along and has not yet been cleared. After being told that
we walked a lot quicker on the way out than the way in!

It was a fantastic day and the last day in
Spain for my friend Kristin. At the end of the bus ride we presented Kristin
with a little card and all got a bit teary but she has had a great time in
Spain so it was happy as well as sad.
It got me thinking about when it is my time
to say goodbye. I only have 5 weeks left of school, 6 weeks till I see my
lovely Mat and 10 weeks until I am back home in Australia. The time has just
gone so FAST!
