    One of the most interesting days was Thursday. On Thursday we were playing various games and solving quizzes at the Natural History Museum .

    The Museum and the Zoo were my favourite places during our visit in Despotovac. I liked ancient animals and dinosaurs' skeletons very much. I could see different species of animals at the zoo. Moreover, I liked the museum of wax figures. They were realistic. I enjoyed a trip to the cave too. In my opinion, everything in Serbia is interesting and nice. I love visiting new places and countries.

    What I liked most about Serbia was our visit at the Natural History Museum. I found out a lot about dinosaurs. I'm going to learn even more about dinosaurs. I also enjoyed activities at school, especially doing the experiments.

    Wednesday was my favourite day of our LA in Despotovac. On that day we visited the cave, the zoo and the museum of wax figures. At the zoo we saw lions, bears and different kinds of fish. I really enjoyed that day because I'm fond of animals. I like history and at the museum of wax figures I learned a lot about Serbia.

    Workshops at school were my favourite. I enjoyed doing the experiments. I also enjoyed Friday's activities, especially the disco. I will definitely remember that trip for a very long time.

    During our trip to Serbia I liked the most our visit at the zoo in Jagodina. All trips were interesting and well-prepared. I liked Despotovac and the views there. I liked our visit at the cave as I'm interested in Geography. Serbia is a beautiful country.
