The day we arrived I knew it was going to be a memorable trip. We arrived at the Dorka center hot sweaty and tired. We were greeted with smiles and lovely food but I think most of us were to tired to to eat much. The work, whilst hard, is really enjoyable. We seem to be getting loads done every day but there all ways seems more to do today than there was yesterday! Before i came here i was thinking i will have to buy lots of sweets because i probably won't like the food over there but so far i haven't had a meal that I haven't loved! On Wednesday we went to some caves. the first was nearly twenty miles long.There were some amazing rock formations especially the stalagmites and stalactites.They were like nothing I have seen in England. The second cave we went to was an ice cave. I wasn't quite sure what to expect whether there would be bits of ice around or what but when we went in I was amazed at the huge glacier nearly twenty seven meters thick!You could see in the ice all the different layers of how the ice had frozen melt and re frozen several times over!Ever since we got here it has been raining! just like good old England!on the way back from the caves we had to make several detors due to flooding.Trying to comunicate to the slovakians can be difficult at times and hilarious for all! we struggle through pointing at things to help.i think the best part of the trip so far though has been the lovely food!
