MAÑANA Y MEDIA TARDE

Buenas!
Después de acomodarnos en las cabañas hemos empezado las actividades.
Nos han dividido en dos grupos, que somos muchos, unos hemos ido al rocódromo y otros a multiaventura.
Por la tarde haremos lo contrario.
Después, a eso de la una, hemos ido a comer, un rato de juegos y piscina.
Estamos merendando ya y en breve nos vamos a las actividades de la tarde.
Os dejo una foto del menú y otra de la piscina, para que veáis qué mal lo pasamos...

YA HEMOS LLEGADO!

Después de un pequeño atasco, el conductor se las ha apañado para traernos dando un rodeo, así que ya hemos llegado.
Ya les están instalando en las cabañas.
Seguiremos informando!
