London :)

Hi!!!!!

The last four public holidays (30th April and 1st, 2nd, 3rd May), I went on a trip with my family and six people more to London, in England.
We took off with the plane at 6 pm from Girona, but in general in every airport we have to be there tow ours before take off. So we had to gotten up very early (concretely at three in the morning) to arrive there on time.
When we arrived to our destination, it was one hour earlier than Spain; it was the first thing that I learned in England.

We spent 4 days in a hotel called Derby Hotel, but it wasn’t situating in a central part of London, so every day we had to token the underground ticket to visit the different parts of the city. In the underground the people went very quickly and stressed; if we hadn’t moved when we were between these people, it’s probably that some of them would have pushed or taken us.
The first time that we had to take the ticket and choose the underground we want, we were a little lost because here, in the town, we aren’t used to take the underground. But in the end, we were experts on the subject xD

We covered and visited a lot of places of the city, like: the famous Big Ben, the National Gallery, the Convent Garden, the British Museum, Tate Modem, Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Harrod’s, St. Jame’s Park, London Eye, Notting Hill… But every evening we were very tired because we had been walking all the day.

These days, I learned some new things; I knew the England system worked different, but I hadn’t lived in it before and I was surprised.
Now, I tell you some of them:

- It’s one country of UE, which doesn’t have the euros. It has the pound, one coin more expensive than the euros.
- The people drive to the left side of the road or the street; also to go up the stairs they go to the left side. A curious thing about that, when the people are on the mechanics stairs, who aren’t in a hurry wait also, on the left side and leave the right side free for the people who are in a hurry.
- There are a lot of little shops to buy some food or drink to take away, like: coffee, hot chocolate, muffins, cookies, hot dogs, burgers, and more.
- There, there is an hour less, for example: if here it’s nine o’clock, in England it’s eight o’clock.
- The bad weather, it rained every day when we were in London.
- There are lots of typical taxis and buses which I hadn’t seen before.
- And more…

London is a really big and nice city with a lot of things to see and visit, maybe it’s a few expensive, but if you don’t go to London many times, it’s OK ;)

I hope to go in England again and more times =)
