LONDON DAY

Today, we get up so early, at 7am, but he had a good reason to do it, we went to London.

We get the bus at 7.30h until Oxford service station, where there were some restaurants to have breakfast. Then we continued our trip to London, where we started our visit.

We started our visit in Natural History Museum, which is next to the Science Museum. We were encouraged by the leaders to go in if we return to London, but today we didn't have enough time. We continued our way passing by Harrods, the most expensive department store in London, where the most luxurious items are found. Continuing our route through Buckingham Palace, we got to see the change of guard. We also noticed that the Queen was inside, but unfortunately, she wasn't in the balcony. Continuing by the Mall street, we get to Trafalgar Square and we took a picture with the lions, similar to the ones of Colon monument and Congreso de los diputados. Finally, we saw the "Big bang" (Big Ben) and Westminster Abbey where Prince William and Kate Middleton got married.

As we got to lunch time, we went to St James Park to have lunch. To finish the visit, we went to Picadilly Circus where we had some free time to buy some souvenirs. Next to it is placed Liecester Square, where there is a new shops of M&Ms and we were able to buy some sweets. Finally, we went to Covent Garden, where there were some parades and guys had some fun. One of the entertainer took Juanjo to guess the shape of a balloon while he was giving it a form. Then, we ended at the British Museum in which we had a flash visit.

To finish our visit we were driven through Tower Bridge of London and then we returned to the university. After the dinner, we had a speech with Father Sorribes.

London is a very beautiful city with very good people and very good shops if you like shopping.
