Perfect days

First , thank you for this magnificent journey beside you , without you it would not be the same, because each one of you brings something different to this class.



We were all very sleepy when we arrived at seven o'clock to Plano, and we were also very nervous. When we arrived at Malaga airport we were all very preocupated about the weight of our bags , and when we finally boarded the plane many were afraid for our first flight .

When we arrived in London , after a long ride on the bus, we arrived at the hotel , which became one of the sites I most enjoyed .

On that day we visited China Town, Covent Garden, from my point of view were some very interesting places. We also visited Leicester Square, an impressive site , which was definitely one of my favorites.

The second day we visited the Big Ben , the Houses of Parliament , Westminster Abbey, Westminster Brigde , Downing Street and Trafalgar Square, in the morning, and after lunch we went to Soho, National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. That day I really liked were some places that impressed me , although some more than others.

The third day , we went to St Paul 's Cathedral , Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare 's Globe, Tate Modern , River Thames , Tower Bridge, Tower of London , Marble Arch and Hyde Park. From these places I liked it more Hyde Park, it was a beautiful and big

The fourth day we visited Buckingham Palace, Change of Guard , Natural History Museum , Science Museum and Harrods , but here we don´t buy just anything, it was all very expensive.

The fifth and final day, after checking out , we visited the British Museum and went to buy Oxford Street, and finally ...Andrea could buy their Vans she liked ! . After we returned to the hotel to get our bags and go to the airport and go home .

These days were the best days of my life, and in the company of the best!
I hope you liked my post !



1. What place of London did you enjoyed most?
2. What did you think about the nights at the hotel?

London Incredible!

Hello class!
I´going to do this entry because I love the time that we passed in London, visit a lot of sites, museums and also we walk so much. The first day I think that we sleep like a baby becuse the journey. I was talking with Coke before enter to the plane and we said that the journey from Montoro to Málaga was just the beginning of in my opinion the best journey in my world, because the experience of travel to another country without your family; in cases are happy, because you can do a lot of things without your parents don´t say anything.

  

This photo was in Hyde Park, I think that they remebered it. This place was relaxing and very beautiful. Also I remembered the lot of times that we eat and dinner in McDonald´s. Also we was impreseed with the shop of the M&M´S in Leicester Square. Other thing that was "epic" was the fail of Antonio to try to enter in the underground without ticket.

 

I think that we passed very well in trip, becuase we can do a journey out of Spain and I think that we rememered for a long time. I love the moments that we visited all the museums, our form of visit them was watch some things and go out of them or do a lot of things and didn´t watch anything. I love the next photo because we went to the natural museum and it was taked in the souvenir´s shop with Coke.

And now some questions, they are very easy:

1.- Do you went to the M&M´S shop? You buy any product?
2.- How many times do you ate in the McDonald´s?
3.-You go to London one more time but, for live there?
*I´m think that if I can´t found a work here in Spain I go to London for try work there

Bye class!! And see you tomorrow! :D

WITHOUT YOU IS NOT THE SAME

First, especially, I had liked to go with you and to spend it time so well with all of you, but, though it has not been like that, I also had already fun with my family and friends. Well, I have chosen some images that look like to me the sites that were staying a bit for describing (a short summary of them), so let’s see them!

My first image is about Westminster Abbey:

This is one of Britain's finest Gothic buildings; a masterpiece of 13th-16th century architecture. Westminster Abbey is also the home to the shrine of St Edward the Confessor, the tombs of kings and queens, and countless memorials to the famous and the great.

The abbey has been the setting for every Coronation since 1066 and for numerous other royal weddings and occasions, including the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The church is open to tourists from Monday to Saturday with both audio tours and tours led by church officials.

There you have a photo of us in the façade; though we are smiling we wanted to go away inside the abbey to obtain a little heat!!!

 
 
     Tomb of Anne Seymour, Duchess of Somerset

The second image is about Piccadilly Circus:

Piccadilly Circus is a busy square in the heart of London. It is famous for the fountain that was installed here at the end of the 19th century and for the neon advertising that turned the square into a miniature version of Times Square.

Nowadays, Piccadilly Circus is a tourist attraction in if same, probably consequence of being this one of the most important points of the city, with more traffic and ideally as place of meeting.

We were to -8 degrees when we were there, for Christmas certainly. So, it was a “cold visit”!!!

And the last one is about:
 

Harrods is London's most famous department store. The luxurious store is on many tourists' itineraries, which come to admire the magnificent interior and enormous selection. They often leave the store with a signature green bag; foreign visitors account for a significant part of the store's sales.

Talking about prices, therefore their prices are quite high in general. Many tourists opt to buy as a gift or souvenir boats of tea, teddy bears, chocolates, other economic articles. We didn´t buy anything for that, it was very expensive! Here, you have link of a video of all Harrods, you must see it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaDxjZ8e0rM

And my questions are:

1~ Did you visit Piccadilly Circus?

2~ Tell us a little bit of history of the Westminster Abbey. 

3~ What was your favourite and interesting place from London? Tell us your opinion!

4~ Did you improve your English? I think so!!                                                                                                                                               

                                     

                                 COVENT GARDEN

  Do you remember Covent Garden? We went there the first day and we had a lot of fun there:
 
  Do you remember the man (or the woman) flying, and dressed and painted on gold? We spent a lot of time thinking about how this person could be flying. We said he could have a type of chair under the trousers, a stick trough the arm,...
 
  Do you remember the man who was telling jokes on the Street and urged us to say "jump!" several times so the people looked to the sky? And when this man insulted chinese people and a lot of them appeared near of us, so he started to apologize?
 
  Do you remember the violinists who were playing their instruments at the bottom of the stairs?
 
  Do you remember the clown of the square who was walking on ropes or climbing with plastic bricks?

 In my opinión, Covent Garden is a crazy zone, with crazy people, but, at the same time, it is lovely with its old toy stores, its expensive jewelers, its restaurants and small and big shops and, of course, its wonderful monument with its name.



HISTORY AND LOCATION

Originally, the land on which Covent Garden is was known as the Garden of Convent, a farmland where vegetables grown to give food to the monks of the Saint Peter's Convent . In 1540 the lands were confiscated by King Henry VIII and assigned to the first Earl of Bedford, John Russell. In 1632 the fourth Earl of Bedford began to build here the first modern public square of London, surrounding it with luxury buildings for the richest population.
During the Great Fire of London ,many traders with their businesses destroyed, moved to Covent Garden, occupying the square. In 1830 a building was built in the center to house a market.

Covent Garden is a district in London, at east of the West End, between St. Martin's Lane and Drury Lane. It is always associated with the fruit and vegetable market in the central square, altough now is a popular shopping and tourist site. it has access to the Royal Opera House, which is also known as "Covent Garden". The north part of the district has independent shops, while the south contains the central square with its street performers and most of the elegant buildings, theatres and other interesting sites, including the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and the London Transport Museum.



QUESTIONS
 
1- What did you liked the most from Covent Garden?

2- Could you describe one of the sites I have noun in the text, such as the Royal Opera House?

3- Do you have any theory about how the gold man could "float"?

4- What did you do when we were there? Did you bought something?

5- Would you like to come back to Covent Garden?




AN SPECIAL TRIP!

LONDON

The first of all I want to say is that I liked so much this trip because we had lots of fantastic moment all together and we passed a good time. I think the trip was a little tired but it was worth.  
My favourite place was the Big Ben because I love it and we have many photos taken there, so my first cuestion is: What your favourite place in London?
In my opinion one of the funniest days was when a person in the street made fun magic tricks and there were many people looking to him and we laughed a lot.
I have many fotos of that fantastic trip but my favourites are those:

 1.-This photo shows us when the plain took us from London to Malaga where we took the bus to arrived our homes.I like so much this photo because in this photo Antonio, Rafa and me were sitting together and we were in the room of the hotel together too and in this photo appeared Guillermo and four more people that were making stranges faces.

 2.-The second one I like too because appeared more people of the class.I think in this photo all my partner were wearing long trousers and I was wearing a short jeans but the weather was all days good except one day.

Finally I want to give thanks to all the class because this is the best class of all!!!!
The cuestions are very simple, remember that you have one at the top of the post.
-Did you buy many things the last day?
-Did you lost the undergroun ticket? I remenber the husband of Maria Jose buy another because my thicket was of another day but the last weekend I found it in my coat!!!! I´M SORRY!!

Thanks to all, I hope you like it.
