Lunches Money will only be needed for: Snacks/Coffee/Gelato Lunch Gifts for teachers. I suggest between £50 and £75. Don’t bring travellers cheques & there are ATMs

19. Rules It is important that everyone enjoys their trip. It is even more important that everyone is safe. So, we need everyone to follow these simple rules: Any instruction given by a member of staff must be followed without question. When a member of staff is giving instructions all students must be silent immediately – this is especially important at airports and ‘in the field’. There is no alcohol – the good stuff is too expensive and the drinking culture is very different No smoking – it’s like a school day!!!

20. Any questions? Hoodies…
