Big hello from London!
We arrived safe and sound and headed directly to Camden market and then took a little stroll following the canal until Regent’s park. Headed then to King’s cross to find platform and 9 3/4. Had dinner at the pub and managed to catch the clàssic. Weather so far has been kind to us.
Second day in London. Today we followed the river Thames to the most famous ferris wheel 🎡 in Europe. We got to see London from above and from the river’s level because we also went on the river cruise and learnt all about the most significant buildings running along it. Headed later to the parliament building, crossed St. James’ park up to Buckingham Palace. Managed to make it to Piccadilly Circus and explored the city center. Went for a fish and chips meal and checked out London’s skyline at night.
Day trip to Cambridge! We were picked up at the hostel at 9:00 am and headed off to Cambridge. Students had the chance to tour around the many colleges and historical sites that inspired brilliant minds such as Darwin, Newton or Hawking. Back in London, we checked out the city and then headed to dinner.
Last update from London. Yesterday kicked off with a visit to the Natural History Museum where the the students got to see dinosaurs 🦖 and other earth and life specimens. We then headed to Harrods and walked passed Hyde park to catch the Piccadilly line to Trafagar square.
In the afternoon we walked to the British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone and Egyptian collection. Later on we headed to Oxford st. where the students explored Chinatown in Soho. Went for dinner at a lovely burger place and back to the hostel for our last night in London.
