Visiting Orihuela

BLOG DURING THE TRIP

My day started off good on Sunday, woke up at 8:30, I took a shower and had breakfast with Jorge and his family. We left the house I think around 9:30. We got to Santa Barbara castle, and we had to park like 2km away from the castle because there was no parking space. After we parked, we walked to the castle and explored the castle. When we got to the top of the castle, we saw the view of the city of Alicante and how beautiful it is. We didn’t get a tourist guide because I think we were late.

The following are some of the pictures

The next day, I woke up at 7, got ready and caught the bus. We went to the school, met some teachers, and did a tour around the school. After that we took a picture in front of the school with everyone participating in the Erasmus program. When we were done touring and everything, we went to the mudic museum. I can’t even lie they had some interesting stuff in the museum. We saw how the plasma ball works, it works when the electrode at the center of a plasma ball emits a high-frequency, high-voltage alternating electric current. This current flows through the plasma filaments to create colorful tendrils of light. The colors depend upon the gases used inside the plasma ball. Common gases include neon, argon, xenon, and krypton. And we saw a lot of interesting science stuff that was explained.

This is the most I remember we did and it was very interesting.
