London

Monday, June 6th

On Monday, we took the ferry from Calais to Dover at 9:20. We had a light breakfast on the boat and almost 2 hours later, we arrived in Dover. When we were on the coach we saw the White Cliffs of Dover.
First we did a treasure hunt in Canterbury. It was sunny and warm. We visited the town and we did shopping. Then we took the coach to go to Greenwich. We went to the National Maritime Museum. We had to answer a few questions so we discovered the life of Horatio Nelson.
Finally we went to Couldson where we met our host families. We were anxious and nervous…
I enjoyed this day because it was my first day in England and because I had never been to England before !

On the second day we visited the Tower of London. We saw the Crown Jewels, the beefeaters, ravens, the torture chamber and armours. Then we walked on Tower Bridge. We ate along the Thames next to the Townhall. It was sunny and hot. I liked the day because I enjoyed the Torture Chamber.

After our packed lunches, we walked on the docklands. We saw the Globe, the Tate Gallery and we crossed the Millenium Bridge to see Saint Paul’s Cathedral.
Then we took the bus to go to the Natural History Museum. It was great. It’s a big museum. We saw a big diplodocus, lions, elephants, tigers, insects… We did a reconstitution of a Japanese earthquake in Kobe ! It was amazing !
To finish we got back to our families at 7 P.M.

In Buckingham Palace, there were carriages because on Saturday, the Queen will celebrate her 9Oth birthday. At the beginning of the afternoon, it was rainy and stormy. We walked a long time but it was interesting because we saw all the famous monuments of London.

Friday, June 10th

This morning we said good bye to our family.
Then we went to Brighton. In Brighton, we visited the Royal Pavillion with a guide. The guide told us the story of this Pavillion. We saw the dining-room, the kitchen, the living-room, the music room, the concert room. The architect, John Nash, was influenced by Chinese and Indian style. George IV lived in the Royal Pavillion especially in winter and he was really fat because he enjoyed eating a lot. A banquet could be composed of 64 dishes !
The visit was great and interesting ! Then we had our sandwiches and did shopping in the lanes for the last time.
Finally we took the coach to go to the ferry. We arrived in Dunkerque 2 hours later.
It was nearly the end of our trip !
