Last October I left the UK behind and joined Gillotts School on their rugby and hockey tour in sunny Italy. It was my first time away on a sports tour and I could not have enjoyed it (much)! Five days of sports, between training and matches with Italian players, but also plenty time for sightseeing and free moments to enjoy an ice cream in the sun.
our flight had landed in Milan, we got on our coach and drove for a couple of hours towards our home for the week, the Hotel San Zeno, a (comfort),family-run accommodation, with a splendid view of Lake Garda. Starting the day with a self-led training, enjoying a boat tour on the lake, wandering along the streets of Sirmione for a few hours and heading off (play) a sport — these are just a few (example) of the kind of adventures you could be having!
The girls and boys on this tour seemed to enjoy (they) thoroughly, especially after winning all of their games! I found myself (cheer) them on like a proud aunt and celebrating afterwards with food, drink and social time, hosted by rugby clubs after matches. On the last day we headed back to airport, but not before stopping in Milan! We (pay) a visit to the San Siro museum and enjoyed a stadium tour before moving on to Milan city centre for an afternoon of shopping.
