We visit the quasy totality of stores and we had a lot of fun, at the end we make a little break at Starbucks coffee. We meet here all our friends and expose our purchases. Everybody go back to families for the last time. This meal was pleasant, we closed it by signing up one of two great visitors' book of Pippa and Jemmy, then we enjoyed a last shower. There was sadness when we pack one's bag, but it was so good what we return with a big smile on our faces, big memories in our mind.

It was a pleasure to take a ferry by such a beautiful sun. The team informs us that many of school are present on board and that we shall share a lounge with another class.
