We can bee friendlier to the nature

Today our students had their first day at the Biotehniska school in Maribor.

We started with some interesting videos that showed us the importance of BEEING FRIENDLY TO THE NATURE which is the motto of our program.



After that, the Slovenian students showed us the school property - including the animals!















After our little tour we started our workshops:

Beekeeping

Painting Beehives

Building frames for Beehives

Take a look at the pictures!















In the afternoon, we planned to go up Pohorje, Maribor's "hill" - or mountain, as we from the flat lands of Hamburg would call it - but unfortunately the rain crossed our plans. Instead we spend the time in the city and Maribor's shopping mall, the Europark.
Now we are playing games together - Werewolf!

We used the Sunday wisely and drove by bus to the coast.

First, we stopped at an ancient dripstone cave. This cave was the first touristic cave in Europe. The first visitors were sailors and traders in the 15th century. What an impressive sight!







After that, we drove to Piran at the Slovenian coast. The Slovenian coast is only 42 km long but very beautiful! It looks a bit like Italy here, which makes since it's close to both the Italian and the Croatian boarder. In Piran we visited the shell museum and then we enjoyed some free time. Some of us even went swimming! (In 16 degrees cold water!).
In the end we had dinner at a pizza restaurant.

We had the best day - thank you to our Slovenian friends for organizing this lovely trip for us!
