Visit to Austria from the Polish point of view :)

          First day of our the workshops during first Comenius project visit we spent sightseeing Vienna. We went to this city by coach. We reached Vienna at 5³⁰  and next we found our guide. The guide showed us first the Saint Stephen's Cathedral. It's the highest church in Austria! Next we went to the Vienna Opera. It's a huge building! Then we saw the Palace of President, a very impressive building! Next we walked to the Gustav Klimt Museum, where we saw one of his famous painting. Then we went to the Leopold's Museum to see a lot of pictures from famous Austrian painters. The visit to Vienna was very instructive for us, we saw a lot of interesting buildings and pictures, but this day was exhausting! I think Vienna is a very beautiful city with lots of old buildings. After visiting the city we went directly to Judenburg to meet with other hosting families. Although we stayed in contact with them before the visit, waiting to see them was really excaiting!

During the second day of our visit in Austria ( 1/03/2013) we had a trip to the city Graz. On Saturday we went to the university in Graz and we saw the Museum of Crime.
Then we visited the ancient and modern part of this second largest city in Austria and got free time for lunch, shooping etc. Next we had a trip to the "Spanish Riding School" in Piber, where we saw beautiful white horses and listened to a lot of information about them.

 

On the third day - Sunday we were at the St.Lambrecht Monastery. First we went for a mass to the church than we visited the Monastry Historic Museum to learn about it's past. After that we had lunch and we went for a walk. Later we had mosaic workshop and we chose a logo of Comenius 2013/14 project. The Polish logo won. That was a very nice day.

            Monday, the fourth day of our visit to Austria, we spent at school in Judenburg. First we were at official openig ceremony lead by the headmaster. Next we were divided into 4 groups and we had four different workshops : Arts,  Folk Dance, Austrian Artists, Creative Arts. Next we had lunch at school. After lunch we had free time. Next we went to Dancing workshops, where we could learn Waltz and Polka. After finishing officially the Austrian exchange, we were picked up the last time by the parents. It was fantastic day.

The last day, Tuesday, we were all very sad, because we had to go home. We would like to say thank you to our Austrian partners again for the great time day organized us for these couple of days in Judenburg! See you soon in Poland!
