Dear Diary, Today we woke up at 7.00: the meeting was at 8.00. At the meeting 7 boys were missing: we recovered them later. At 9.00 a guide welcomed and accompanied us in the various rooms of the theatre. Some explanations were annoying but we enjoyed the cool works of art. In the dance and opera hall there are 3 rows and 3 floors of balconies from which people can enjoy the shows. After this visit, at 10.00, we left for a walk and went shopping downtown. At 12.00 we went to visit an Italian speaking Secondary School, we were divided into second and third class before they presented their school. At 13.00 we finally had lunch (steak, boiled potatoes and water). From 14.30 to 16.30 we had rehearsal for the concert and then we ate a good snack. At 17.30, from sunset until nightfall, we met our Hungarian friends to make a beautiful cruise on the Danube. That is the best time to see the city from the river at dusk, when all the buildings and monuments are illuminated. Then we went by bus to see the city illuminated from the top of a hill. 20.30 ... DINNER !!!!!!! after all this time we finally could eat. Unfortunately, at 22.30 we had to go home, the dream world was expecting us.
