London

DAY ONE
In the morning of 22nd we woke up and went to the Airport where we met our teachers and friends, we were very anxious! It was a mess!!! Our teachers had a problem and they missed the flight…we were a bit scared, because the other teachers didn’t know the city. We finally arrived at the Hotel at 10 am. While we were waiting for the teachers, we went around near the Hotel and had lunch. Finally, the teachers arrived!!! We took the underground

to Leicester Square, then we walked through the city to see the Buckingham Palace. It is enourmous, and very
luxourious!!!Then we went to see the Big Ben and the London Eye: it was full of people on the streets taking photos and admiring the beautiful monuments. At dinner time, we went to a Pub to eat the traditional “fish and chips”, after this we went to the Hotel to our rooms.

DAY TWO
We woke up and had breakfast, we took the underground and left for King’s Cross, we went to Camden Town, we ate at Five Guy’s. After that we went to Madam

Tussauds: It was amazing!! We loved it and took a lot of photos but the part of the museum that we enjoyed the most was where Ronaldo's wax figure was. After Madam Tussauds we went to an Italian restaurant that we didn’t like much. After our meal we went to the musical which we liked a lot.

DAY THREE
On the third day we had breakfast and then we went to see the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. We first got to the Natural History Museum that is located in a beautiful area, with a lot of green spaces and historical artifacts, we enjoyed it a lot and learned a lot of new things about the past animals and wild life that had existed in the world. We then went to the restaurant to have lunch and after that we got to the Science Museum that was very close to the first one. This Museum had a lot of scientific and historical things, like the History of the cars and planes, the past Rockets that were used in space.
At night we went to a hotel to have dinner and after that we walked a little bit to visit the local shops like the Lego and the M&M store. We obviously bought lots of presents for our friends and family.


DAY FOUR
We started our last day with a mix of emotions: on the one hand we were sad because it was our last day in London but on the other we were anxious because we would see our family again after our trip. In the morning we saw the London Financial district, which is a modern zone of the City with beautiful buildings dedicated to the city’s economy. After that we went to the Tower Bridge. After our lunch we went to the Tate Museum, which we
felt to be a bit boring but after all we liked it because it’s a thing that we don’t see everyday.
After that, we went back to hotel to pick our luggage to start our travel to the Airport.
