In the
morning we got up and got us ready for the day. For breakfast we had some
cereals, bread, cakes or cookies, which was very tasty.
At 8
a.m. we met the rest of the class at Mottingham station and took the train to
Charing cross. From there we walked along the Thames to the Houses of
Parliament, where we saw the Big Ben. We walked on to Westminster Abbey and saw
many statues of former prime Ministers and Nelson Mandela.
After
taking photos of all the sights, we decided to take a class picture in Front of
the Houses of Parliament. Then we took a walk around to discover the area
around Westminster Abbey and there we found a house which looked almost like
Harry Potter’s house.
A bit later we decided to have a break of 1 ½
hours in Oxford Street so we went there by double-decker bus. We did some
shopping or went to a restaurant to have lunch. When we met after our break, we
took a bus back to Trafalgar Square.
At Trafalgar
Square there were many street artists. We saw for example two flying Jodas. We
took some pictures with him and the poor teacher had to pay the guy. Then we
went to National Gallery. There were paintings by Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet.
We had our packed lunch in the spring sun. It was a nice first half-day in London.
