London

day 1

We arrived in London around 10:30 am, we got lunch. Then we went to the underground to visit various iconic monuments, like Queen Victoria Memorial and Buckingham Palace, and then walked around St. James Park, until we finally arrived at the Parliament Square to look at the Big Ben! We rode the London Eye and got to see a view of the whole city. We passed through

Westminster Abbey and then we had dinner (fish and chips) at the Albert’s to finish the day.

day 2
In the morning we got to King’s Cross to have a look at Platform 9 3/4 and the we traveled around Camden Town and visited the local shops. In the afternoon, we got to experience one of the best parts of the trip: Madame Tussaud's, where we got baffled by the realism of the wax

statues and were given a bit of insight of British History. We traveled around various fictional universes, such as Star Wars, Marvel and met various celebrities, including her Majesty the Queen and Drake! A bit later we got to Covent Garden, walked around and then, after dinner, we got to end our night and day the best way possible, by watching the Mama Mia Musical!



day 3

We started the day by stopping in South Kensington and walked to the Natural History Museum. We were able to witness various fossils of living beings, lots of minerals and rocks and we were even able to experience a simulated earthquake!

Later in the afternoon we went to the Science Museum. We were dazzled by the various exhibitions! From cars, airplanes, industrial machinery, antique clocks... and we even had the opportunity to learn about the evolution of technology in medicine! After that we hopped on the underground again to visit the famous Oxford street where we walked around, visited the stores and were able

to experience a bit of what it is to have a Londoner life!

Our day ended later than usual, because we went to the M&M’S and LEGO stores and even got to walk around China Town.

day 4

We woke up a bit sad because it was our last day in London, but we decided to make the most of every moment of this day. In the morning we went to the new recycled art in Canary Wharf and then saw the famous and illustrious Tower of London, where kings and queens would rest the night before their coronation, but also where people would be executed. Even so, it was an
