The End of Our Spanish Adventure ....

Today was an emotional day for all of us since it was the last day of summer school in Madrid. We got up bright and early and walked to uni together for the last time all prepared to present our final presentations that we've been working on. Nerves were high for presenting but we all managed to get through it and Kumba and Danielle's group, NAC even won best presentation!

Couple of actions shots from the presentations. 

After all the presentations and feedback from the lecturers were given we had a farewell brunch with the full class. This featured some delicious Spanish snacks, our favourite being the tortilla espanola! It's safe to say emotions were running high at the brunch whilst saying goodbye to our new friends, however we've promised we will keep in touch!

After an emotional morning and afternoon at the university, we ventured home via Retiro Park to take in the culture for the last time. - And we couldn't resist taking advantage of a few photo opportunities. 

On the way home we also stopped by a frozen yogurt place which we can no longer remember the name of, however the sight of chocolately milkshakes looked much more appealing than some healthy frozen yogurt. Extremely sickly, but extremely delicious !

After stalling for quite some time, we had to accept it was time to go home and get packed up and ready for going our separate ways - which none of us were happy about. Nikki and Danielle were the first to leave and trigger the first couple of emotional goodbyes. Gillian and Kumba (the ones writing this) sadly leave the beautiful city of Madrid behind tomorrow. 

We can all definitely say this has been a trip of a lifetime for all of us which we would recommend to any fashion and retail students looking for something different. We've learned a lot and gained experience as well as getting the chance to meet some extremely interesting people in fashion and retail industry which we hope to keep in touch with in the future. However, not only that, from coming here strangers the four of us have became great friends and shared some amazing memories. We all plan to keep in touch and stay friends and have many Madrid reunions soon!

Now, for the last time, 

Hasta Luego , 

Gillian, Kumba, Danielle and Nikki
