Days 3 & 4

Just like the day before, we left the hotel around 9:20 a.m., ready for another exciting day in London. Although we were starting to feel the tiredness from all the walking and exploring, we were still full of curiosity and energy.
Our first stop was the Natural History Museum. It was absolutely fascinating especially for us, biology and geology students. We saw millions of interesting things, from dinosaur skeletons to rocks, fossils, and detailed exhibits about life on Earth. It felt like learning and fun all at once.
Right after that, we had lunch and visited the Science Museum. This was another great experience, especially for those more interested in physics, technology, and innovation. There were so many interactive displays and scientific instruments to try out. We spent a lot of time exploring and discovering new things in a hands-on way, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
In the afternoon, we headed to Oxford Street, where we had a lot of free time. It was amazing to explore the shops, buy souvenirs and gifts, and just relax while spending time with friends. The atmosphere was lively, and we loved every moment of it. After shopping, we had dinner together and then continued our evening at Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. The lights, the shops, the movement everything was vibrant and full of life. We did even more shopping and shared another fun, joyful moment as a group.


By the time we got back to the hotel, we were completely exhausted. Without much talking, we all went straight to bed tired but happy, ending another unforgettable day in this amazing city.


Day 4
Our last day in London had finally arrived, and we could already feel the nostalgia creeping in. Even though we left the hotel at the same time as the previous days, everything felt different like time was moving faster, and every moment mattered more.
Our first destination was the London Financial District. It was a completely different side of the city one filled with tall glass buildings, fast-paced energy, and people rushing to work. It showed us the more serious, business-driven face of London, and it was interesting to see the contrast with the tourist areas we had visited before.
After that, we had lunch and then made our way to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. We visited Tower Bridge, where the view was breathtaking, and explored the area around the Tower of London, full of history and

stories. On our way, we also passed by St. Paul’s Cathedral such a stunning building that reminded us of London’s rich past and cultural beauty.
Eventually, it was time to say goodbye. We got on the bus and headed to the airport. As we looked out the windows, we couldn’t help but feel a little sad London had become special to all of us in such a short time. We were already missing the places, the laughter, the moments shared.
At the airport, the mood was a mix of tiredness, emotion, and excitement to see our families again. We boarded the plane carrying memories that we’ll never forget, grateful for every moment we lived together on this amazing journey.
