Today we went to London. We visited some famous sights, for example the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. We also went on a boat along the River Thames. There we got a great view of Big Ben also called Elisabeth Tower.
We could also see the Ladies Bridge (= Waterloo Bridge), that was partly built by women in the second World War.
After that we went a little bit further in the city and were allowed to explore some small parts of it (Picadilly Circus) alone. We saw streetdancers that have shown a pretty good performance.
One hour later we travelled one and a half hours back to Eastbourne by train.
As we arrived the teachers let us go home. We got to our hostfamily and ate delicious food. After the amazing dinner we went to bed and were excited for the next day. (Sara B. & Ashley)

In the morning we took a train to London. First we went to Buckingham Palace and watched the guards protecting it. Then, after a short break at Trafalgar Square, a place with fountains and sculptures, we went to the London Eye. It was a really great view from the top.
After that we took a bus to the Tower of London where, during Henry VIII reign, a lot of traitors and even some of his wives got executed.
Then we took a boat on River Thames to the other side of London with a very funny tour guide showing us some of London`s sights. After we got off the boat we took a bus to Victoria station and then a train back to Eastbourne. The trip was great. (Marcel & Jakub)
