2 Day one: Monday the 8th of May We left the school at 6am on Monday morning. We stopped every 2 hours for a break. At 12pm we ate our packed lunches on the coach.

4 My favourite activity was the London eye because the view was amazing. It lasted for 30 minutes. Ghais - 3D The London Eye is situated in the heart of the capital. At 135 metres, the London Eye is the tallest wheel in Europe. It is high enough to see up to 40 kilometres and to see spectacular details of the city and famous monuments like Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and Canary Wharf. Florian C. - 3D On day 2 we had breakfast alone. In the morning we went to Greenwich: the National Maritime Museum, the Meridian Line and the Royal Observatory.
