The 4th day
Thursday,
we cycled to school again and went to Den Haag to visit a prison gate museum,
the humanity house (where we experienced the life of someone having to leave
their home country) and Madurodam (a model village).
In the prison gate museum, we saw how
people in the olden days stayed whilst awaiting trials. We saw the different
rooms accomadating the rich and poor and the different methods used for
torture. Everyone complained about the stairs as their legs were aching after
Wednesday’s work out session!
The humanity house was unlike any other
museum anyone had seen. It was an interactive tour where, in pairs, you would
experience what life would be like if you were forced from your home country
because of natural disaster, war and other issues. This experience was very
life like and thought provoking because they used your own personal names and
pictures within the tour.
The afternoon was baking hot so we were all
glad that the model village was outside. We saw key parts of Holland including
the airport and traditional wind mills. We got to drive remote controlled mini
boats and we went to the food of Holland land café afterwards. There was a
massive clog that we were able to sit in and take pictures in, which I’m sure
everyone will remember!
The coach ride home was both sad and happy;
happy because of the great day we had had but sad because it was the last night
we would be together. Different groups had different activities planned for
that night and we parted ways with smiles on our faces and many pictures. The
group we personally were with went out to eat at a Chinese buffet, which was
AMAZING! The food was great (especially the ice cream) and it was a great way
to say goodbye to everybody.
