A big thank you from me and all the girls. For all of them it was their first time away on a trip without parents and they had an amazing time.

No drama and everything went like clockwork.

Coach: An excellent driver. He was able to advise us of times etc. The coach itself was perfect.

Hotel: The beds were fantastic and people are still raving about the showers. Having it just beside the stadium is also very handy. Overall the hotel was excellent.

Ourselves and the lads had a great time. Overall, it was great and thankfully, the last two days the weather was lovely. Accommodation was beautiful and even more upgraded than last year, which was fantastic. Coaches and drivers were brilliant and always accommodated any requests.

I will definitely be in touch in the new academic year regarding next year.

Thanks, GTI, as always.

Kind regards

Now onto the next trip! 🙂
