amiens
















This morning our host families packed us huge lunches and dropped us off at the train station to spend the day at amiens. when we arrived in the city we went on small motorised boats around canals. it was very relaxing and interesting; seeing all the tiny farming houses along the canal. we then walked through amiens on our way to the notre dame cathdral, a replica of the cathdral in paris. we were intrigued by the stuatue of the crying cherub leaning on a human skull.

after walking around the cathedral we made our way to the park and ate our lunches next to the lake, sone people taking the chance to have a play on the equipment.
after 3hours of free time shopping in amiens we were all exhausted and glad to see our families waiting for us at the Villers station. we all went home for a huge dinner and tried to get some sleep before our early morning wake up for ANZAC.
