We had a 3am start to get to Gatwick airport from the LiL training centre near Chalfont St Giles. After a bit of a delay taking off (French air traffic control apparently were updating their computer systems). We flew into Valencia airport around 11:20 local time, with a bit of chop as we approached from the sea. After disembarking the aircraft we had a happy meet up with Carolyn of UKLC and Elisia of the Schola programme, I grabbed a proper coffee from the first cafe I saw in the airport, then we headed over to our coach and headed out to Moncada. Talli, Kathrine, Donna and myself dropped our luggage at the apartment we are staying in with the very friendly owners of the apartment (they live bellow us), we then drove on to Schola itself to be given our induction presentation and perhaps more importantly, some lunch. The Schola staff are all extremely welcoming, quickly getting us all oriented with what we will be doing and where, as well as passing on any bus or metro tickets we need, our months food money, maps and useful guides for the area.
Anyway, time to sign off and eat some home cooked Spanish Tortilla (thanks Talli!), a quick note, bring some seasonings with you, everywhere is closed on a Sunday in Spain and there is no salt or pepper in the apartment!
