London Trip


Yesterday night we arrived from our London class-trip. We all returned exhausted but with a great feeling of having passed a great time. We did tons of things and visited numerous places apart from living a great experience in a musical. This is what we did during the trip:

Day 1 (Friday 7th).- Encounter at Bilbao airport 8:30A.M. The plane took off on time and we arrived at Stansted airport at 11 A.M. After passing eternal passport checks we finall
y boarded the bus which took us to Victoria Station, 2 minutes away from our hotel, the AIRWAYS HOTEL. After a quick sandwich lunch we got on the london tube and headed for Camdentown, where we had a couple of hours to shop and walk around. After Camdentown we had dinner and headed for the hotel, exhausted.


Day 2 (Saturday 8th).- After waking up at 7:30 A.M. and having breakfast at the hotel we headed for the "TUBE" to buckingham palace, where we saw the change of guard. However, the best part of the day was when we went to Piccadilly Circus to watch the musical "HAIR", a GREAT show in which we even went to the stage to dance! After the musical we had free time until 10:30 P.M. when we met at Piccadilly.


Day 3 (Sunday 8th).- After having breakfast at the hotel we left for Speakers' Corner, in High Park. We heard many people explaining their ideas, but surely there was one woman who topped them all. She was a crazy old woman who said we were all parasites and rats, and a
fter dying Hitler would judge us. After leaving this insane woman we went to the London Dungeon terror museum, which was good but a bit boring in some parts and later we had lunch. After filling our stomachs, we trotted to the London Bridge and London Tower.


Day 4 (Monday 9th).- Today we all left for the British Museum and discovered Egyptian tombs and Mexican Mayan people apart from aincient Greeks. At the evening we boarded the London Eye from which we had a great view of London and its main icons. Finally, as a great ending we went to Hard Rock Café to have
dinner, and ended our last full day in London.




Day 5 (Tuesday 10th).- This morning we woke up early and headed for the London Docks, where we entered a museum which showed us the history of these iconic storeplaces. We hurriedly left for Heathrow airport next, where our plane was delayed 2 hours due to the volcanic ash. END
