London
Day one
We arrived at the Francisco Sá Carneiro airport at 4:00 a.m., and our flight left at 6:05 a.m. We were feeling really excited and anxious to fly to another country that we’d never been to before. When we arrived at 9:00 a.m., we caught a transfer to our hotel, which was located in North Acton. We went for a walk to visit the neighbourhood, had lunch and waited for our teacher at the hotel. We caught the underground and we stopped at Leicester Square, we visited Buckingham Palace, then we walked through St. James Park. After that, we saw the Big Ben and we were feeling amazed because we couldn’t believe that we were there visiting that beautiful city. We went to the London Eye and had the opportunity to see the city from a different perspective, we took a lot of photos . We went to the Albert, a pub where Obama ate when he was visiting London, and our dinner was fish and chips, a typical English meal. We were very tired so we went to the hotel and talked to our parents.
Day two - 23-04-2025
We woke up very excited because that day at night we were going to see a musical. We had breakfast and took the underground to King’s Cross Station where we saw Platform 9 3/4 from the Harry Potter saga. We are big fans of Harry Potter so we went to the store and bought
a lot of things. We went to Camden Town, bought some souvenirs and we had lunch there, a very notable and famous place where you see a lot of different cultures. After that we caught the underground again to Madame Tussaud’s which was an amazing experience because we had the opportunity to take photos with important people like Bob Marley, Harry Styles, CR7 and of course Queen
Elizabeth. At night we had dinner at Pizzeria Roma and then we went to the musical. The musical was over 2 hours and it was the best musical we had haver watched. We danced all together with the teachers while we were listening to Mamma Mia! songs.
Day three - 24-04-2025
We woke up tired from the day before but excited and ready for another day. We caught another underground but this time to the National History Museum, and we are very excited because we learned a lot of things from animals, extinct and alive. Then, we were even happier because we were having lunch at Five Guys, which doesn’t exist in Portugal. After that, we were a little tired but we went the Science Museum where we saw and learned a lot of things about space, medicine and engineering. We went to Oxford Street and saw shops that only exist in
the USA and the UK. We had dinner at a hotel and then we went to the M&M’s store, the Lego store and Hard Rock Café. We were feeling amazing and really happy to be there in a place that we have always dreamed of.
Day four - 25-04-2025
At the beginning of last day we were feeling very very very tired and nostalgic because we didn’t want to leave that wonderful city. We went to the Financial district at Canary Wharf and after that we went to the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. We had lunch and visited the Tate Museum. Lastly, we went to the airport and got home.
We had a lot of fun in this experience, it was the best trip of our life and we will never forget this magical and unbelievable city.
