Meeting in French Guiana-France

From 9th to 17th of October (and actually even to 18th because Air France cancelled our flight back), two students and two teachers of our school took part in a meeting in Matoury in French Guiana in an Erasmus+ project "The Future Belongs to the Old". Unfortunately, the tickets were so expensive that we couldn't afford to bring more people. Apart from activities related to the topic of the project, we visited the Museum of Guyanese Cultures in Cayenne, went for a walk in the rainforest where we saw, among others, fowlers sleeping on huge leaves and sloths hanging asleep in the trees, visited Habitation Loyola, the biggest plantation in French Guiana, where slaves owned by Jesuits worked, visited Kaw-Roura Marshland Nature Reserve, where we went on a piroga trip on the Kaw river, during which we caught a cayman and managed to lull it to sleep by stroking its belly, spent a night on a houseboat, where we slept outside in hammocks and admired a breathtaking dawn on the river, visited a surprisingly coloured beach in Remire-Montjoly, whose sand was almost brick red in the sun, and tasted the most unusual fruit we had never seen before, like brightly pink dragon fruit, for example. On top of everything, we visited the National Centre for Space Studies in Kourou. It was the most exotic project meeting we have ever participated in.​
