London, UK by the kids

On the 9th we took a bus to Milan to take another bus and, well that’s what was supposed to happen, it did not. Half way through the first bus broke down and we were told by one of the passengers (because the driver didn’t speak English) that the company was going to send another bus. Luckily the other bus arrived in like ten minutes, this bus had some people in it but not that many people so we all could fit. The bad thing is that this bus is going to Germany and then to Paris oh yeah, the bus we were supposed to take from Milan was going to Paris. When we got to Germany we waited for the next bus and when it arrived we hopped on. We were still in the bus when night fell so we slept.
On the 10th we were still in the bloody bus, it was 2pm by the time we arrived in Paris we went straight to the train station so we could get a place to wait, we were going to take the Eurostar to London. when it arrived, we hopped in and went to our seats, me and Emma played with each other, I won. When we got to London we went on a bus to our hotel and slept.
On the 11th we went to an aquarium, it was a biggish aquarium, it had some fish and sea horses and other stuff but my favourite bit was seeing the Gentoo penguins (penguins are one of my favourite animals). The Gentoo penguins are the fastest type of penguins in the world, and they are the third tallest, they live in the Antarctic. We looked around and then we went to a Shrek adventure thing, the first thing we went on was in a magical bus that had donkey driving, the bus crashed, and we went in to a forest thing, we saw different people from story tales. My favourite bit was when the person who acted as Cinderella called dad princy. After that we went to something called the London dungeon, it had some stuff that were scary like blood and guts and plus it really stunk. After that we went on the London eye. It was really big and there was a really long line, when we got to the top it was a really good view, I looked around a lot. When we got back down we went to the hotel and slept.
On the 12th we went to madam Tussauds, it is a world-famous wax museum, it has some of the most famous wax models in the world. We saw famous actors made out of wax, there we singers, they even had all the James bond actors. They had E.T. they even had marvel characters, there was a ginormous hulk. After that there was lots of Star Wars characters. It was pretty fun, after that we went to a park the was pretty close, there was a big pond where we could rent a boat, we rented a boat and looked around, it was fun. After that we went to a restaurant and I had a full English breakfast, then we went home did school work and then slept.
On the 13th we went to see all the famous stuff in London. We first went to Big Ben (obviously), it was so big, and it had some really awesome decoration. What made it even better was that right next to it was the house of parlement, it was a huge amazing building, we walked around and looked at it and then we went to Westminster abbey. It is where the king and queen get married, it has lots of carvings on the front of it. After that we went to Trafalgar square, it had a big collum in the middle with a statue of someone on the top of it. Then we went to Leicester square it had metal sculptures of famous actors, there was also a huge Lego shop and a huge M&M shop, we first went to the M&M shop. There were big tubes full of M&Ms, we got a little bag of them, after that we went to the Lego shop. When we were in we saw huge Lego structures it was bloody awesome, we looked at everything, they even had the thousand sunny, (that’s luffy’s ship (Luffy is someone from one piece (one piece is a manga and I’m ashamed of you if you don’t know it). After that we went to get Emma a pandora and then we went to a pub, I got a nice tender medium raw steak, it was nice. After that we went to a place that had a couple of street performers. We looked around a bit then we went back to the hotel and slept.
On the 14th we went to see tower bridge it was really big, it had two ginormous towers on each side, and a big bridge up at the top. And pretty close there is the tower of London, we didn’t go in we just had a look from outside, we looked around a couple of other stuff and then we went to see Buckingham palace. It was really big, we came at the right time to see not the change of the guards but the inspection of the guards. We didn’t actually see it we saw another one just a little bit away, it was cool they are very strict. After that we went to a toy shop called Harrods: Emma bought a spinning thing and I played with the remote-control cars on display, it was fun. After that we went to a park played with the spinning thing and then went back to the hotel and slept.

Hello. I can’t believe we are in our last country in Europe already. It is going so quickly. Currently we are in the United Kingdoms. We are in the capital. London. It all started on two annoying days.
On the 9th we took a bus to Milan. That one broke down so we got another bus. That took us to Germany then Paris.
On the 10th we took the Eurostar to London. And walked to our room. Which is tiny.
On the 11th we did the aquarium. We saw sharks, fish, starfish, urchins, seahorses and stingrays. It was so cool. We saw a stingray that was bigger than some of the sharks. Then we went to the Shrek adventure. There were actors dressed up as characters. First donkey was driving a bus, and we ran over some person’s favourite witch. There were characters helping us and eventually we got to the end and beat them. Then we went to the London dungeon. Mum and dad did not know it was going to be that scary, but they were wrong. I had my eyes shut for about three quarters of it. I knew I was going to have nightmares that night. I can’t tell you much because I did not see much. I know that there was lots of noise. I know that there were lots of lights because I could see some of it through my eyelids. I did not like it at all. Then we went on the London eye. For those who don’t know what the London eye is, it is a massive Ferris wheel. It is taller than big ben. It was a great way to see London.
On the 12th we went to madame Tussauds. It is a massive wax museum. It is named after a person. Their first name was Marie. There were so many wax figures. They looked very realistic. I liked it. I don’t have a favourite part. I liked it all the same. Then we went to a park. there was boating so of course we went boating. Me and Andrew had to peddle. We had lunch in the park. we took the bus back and had a movie night (first we had to do homework).
On the 13th we visited London. We saw Big Ben, Westminter abbey and house of parliament. We saw a bunch of other stuff that I don’t have the time to name. One thing is clear, we visited a lot of stuff that day. We saw guards on horseback. Then we went to a massive toy shop. SO MANY TTTOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Then we went to a pub. We saw some street performances. We saw music and acrobats. I really like London. I think I am a big city person.
On the 14th we went to Tower Bridge. After that we went to Buckingham palace. It is a big place that the king lives in. we watched the inspection of the guards. Then we went to another toy store. I bought a zip string. A zip string is a thing that spins so fast that the string you put in levitates. Then we played in the park.
