1 MEETING IN TURKEY We took the first picture on the day we left for Turkey, at Venice airport. In the second one there is the view from the Galata bridge at sunset, which we visited on the first day in Istanbul. Then you can see the entrance of the wonderful bazaar in Istanbul, where we went, shopping and bought something like foulards, typical, turkish tea, and spices. In this picture, we were in Sultanahmet square, near the Blue mosque, and this was our first night in Istanbul. The photo that you can see in the middle shows the famous Blue Mosque, that is situated near Sultanahmet square, in the centre of Istanbul. In the last one there is the wonderful spectacle of colours made by a fountain placed in the middle of the square, and in the background you can admire the silhouette of Haja Sophia mosque. The atmosphere was absolutely magic!

2 On the second day in Istanbul, we went to Topkapi palace, where there were beautiful Turkish artifacts that formed the treasure of the sultan. In the afternoon of the second day we visited the Suleymaniye Mosque. In this photo you can well see the overview of this beautiful mosque. The third day was the day of our departure to Enez, a very small town about five hours by bus from Istanbul. They picked us up in a van and together with the Slovakians and the Czechs we went to Enez, where the Turkish students of the Comenius Project had been waiting for us. The following day we were welcomed with a traditional ceremony in which a group of children, danced Turkish dances in typical Turkish clothes. In the last photo above our teacher of English, Mrs Rita Pirrone delivered a speech in which she presented our school and thanked all the members of the Comenius project for the wonderful experience that we had made together.
