The journey from Eastbourne to London took about three hours. We were there on two different days: On Wednesday we basically went sight-seeing. It was very exciting to see the London Eye, the Big Ben and some other landmarks. But we didn´t just go there to look at them. We took a ferry boat and saw the sights from the boat. We found out more about them because a few of us had prepared mini-talks about some of the sights. Also, the guy on the ferry boat told us some interesting details.

On Friday the weather was very sunny and we had very much time to go shopping and do other things on our own. We went to Camden. There we discovered quite a few exciting stores, for example an American candy store and some very cheap souvenir shops where I found magnets and cups for only one pound! Later Juana end I went to the Camden Lock Market, which is a huge street fair with even more exciting and unusual stands. They also sell exotic food and it is extremely busy. (Asle)

We went to London on two different days. On the first day we had to get up very early and the journey to Greenwich took about three hours. Then we took a short walk to the boats. On the way there, we stopped at the Royal Observatory. Then we did a boat ride and from the boat we could see a lot of the well-known London sights, for example, the Big Ben, the Tower Bridge and the London Eye. In my opinion it was a cool time. Later we had one hour to eat something and look around the Southbank. We ate chips and ice cream. After that we took the tube to the coach park and went home. It was a cool day.

On Friday we went to London again. There we had one hour to eat something. We ate burgers at Burger King. Then we explored the area around Piccadilly Circus and took the train to Camden Market. There we had a lot of time to buy some souvenirs. After that we started our journey back to Berlin. (Iva)

London is a very famous place and that`s why it attracts many tourists every year. So we also went to London for two days to look at the sights. Our journey from Eastbourne to London wasn´t exhausting because it only took two hours. First, we took the ferry from Greenwich to the heart of London to see all the sights along the riverbank. It was very exciting for me because I hadn’t been in London before. The guy on the ferry was very entertaining and we all had a lot of fun. Furthermore, the first day in London ended with a CHALLENGE: Some students performed mini-presentations in front of one of the famous landmarks.

The second day in London was very interesting. We had a lot of free-time. We went shopping and some students went to visit more landmarks on their own. We visited many exciting stores in Camden Town. Interestingly, the stores in London are very different from the stores in Germany. In fact, the shops there are a little smaller than the shops in Germany. There are a lot of souvenir shops and we also saw an American candy store with traditional and sweet candies. It was interesting to see the differences between German people and English people in terms of their behaviour. I mean, most English people are more polite than the people back home. They were always friendly and offered their help. (Juana)

On the third day we went on an interesting trip to London. The driver picked us up at 7.30 am. The journey to Greenwich took about three hours. From there we took a boat and cruised the river Thames. On the left and right side of the river we saw many buildings and some skyscrapers, which are not soooo tall. We also saw the Tower Bridge, the London Eye and the Big Ben. I took a lot of beautiful pictures of the incredible sights. I have an important tip for you: Take your mobile phone or a camera with you for perfect pictures. Also, take some money with you for your shopping spree in London. (Fine)

Hello everyone, our trip to London was beautiful. We started our sightseeing tour in Greenwich. There we marvelled at the zero meridian. Then we did a nice boat trip to London. One of the first sights we saw in London was the spectacular Tower Bridge. The combination of a hanging and folding bridge is simply breathtaking. That was my favourite sight there. The gigantic Tower of London wasn't so interesting for me. Our next destination was the Houses of Parliament with the wrapped Big Ben. I was a little bit disappointed that the Big Ben doesn't ring during his restauration. At the other side of the River Thames we saw the imposing London Eye. But we didn't visit it, because the admission was too expensive.  If you would like to visit London yourself, you can plan your trip with the help of the internet or a travel guide. But remember that you need to exchange Euro in Pounds before you start your visit. If you don't have enough money, look for free sights like the British Museum. A tip for friends of Lego: Visit the marvellous Lego Store at Leicester Square. All in all, I enjoyed my visit to London. I hope that my blog makes you interested in visiting London, too. (Mario)
