War and Peace in Guernica Photo Suggestion
Today you'll be educating the kids all while having fun. You'll start with visiting a flock of sheep at your country home and sampling their cheese. Maybe you'd like to buy some to take home?
For the morning's activities you'll have the chance to go full force with trains of all kinds, including the chance to ride an old-fashioned steam locomotive OR discover new things all about the environment at a cool museum.
NOTE
Enjoy your hotel this morning and explore the natural countryside and farm animals.
Below are two choices for activities this morning:
A Railway Museum
A Museum focused on the environment and climate change that is geared towards children (and adults!)
If you choose to do both activities, please be aware you won't make it to the Peace Museum in Guernica before closing (weekends at 15:00), but you will be able to do all other activities in Guernica.
Later, you'll end the day in Guernica, a tragic symbol of war, peace and hope.
