LONDON AT LAST!

 At Harry Potter's spot in King's Cross tube station

Here we are in London in a long tiring day. We did everything it could be done in a single day: walking all central London, the West End and its theatres, the Soho, Piccadilly Circus, Piccadilly Road and Green Park.

As it is expected from any good tourist we didn’t miss the Change of the Royal Guard with band of music included.

We split up at Trafalgar Square and each one went to have lunch to a place of preference. We, the teachers, chose a nice traditional old pub where we had a no less traditional meal of fish and chips. Our students, as it goes with their age, selected a great variety of hamburgers in one of the nearest McDonalds. In this way we were all happy and fed.

Once lunch was over we took our way to the London Eye, passing by the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The weather was excellent, especially for us, as we were expected that day in the city!

Now, we stood up in the London Eye, all the city surrendered at our feet. So important we felt! The sun was shinning, the birds singing and some little clouds were passing by, now and then. Uhmmm is that happiness?

After our celestial ascension, we took a boat and sailed to the Tower of London, that terrible fortress where traitors were imprisoned, tortured or finally executed, and where now the Queen of England keeps all the Royal Jewels. Form there, a beautiful sight of Tower Bridge could be seen.

Back home, in complete exhaustion, we climbed to our beds and slept like angels.
