Day 20: Last Schoolday & Trafalgar Square

Friday, 23/August/2013

Today was my very last day at school. A bit sad.. It's the weirdest feeling ever to say goodbye to someone you might never see again! With some people I'll definitley keep the contact but still it's weird. Not a big fan of goodbyes. Honestly.. :/ But I was glad to be sure that I and Daria will still see each other on Saturday. :) At least we had one whole day left!

I never thought I'd say something like this about classes but I'll miss the EF school! Yes, it was fun studying there. Who would've thought that school can actually be fun, haha! :D

Fleur, Nora, Sacha and Hannah

 

EF staff!! Great People. :)

The last picture/gif are almost all of the doors in Roupell Street (where EF school is). It's a really cool thing to walk past these doors almost everyday :) Colorfull way to start a day. :D

After visiting Harrods me and Daria went to Vapiano near Oxford Street and ate some delicious pizza!

Then we decided to buy some Baklava at Trucadero and eat it at on top of the Nelson's Column. My favourite place to be. We sat there for hours and watched the cars go by. It was just beautiful!

Goodnight everyone! Tomorrow is my last whole day London! Laila xxx

still Day 19: Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace

Trafalgar Square is probably one of my favourite places to be. I absolutely love it.

.

After having a English Tea at Nero I went to Green Park station to walk to Buckingham Palace. The park is beautiful. I really liked the Canadian memorial near the Palace. At Buckingham Palace I saw some guy drawing different pieces of the palace in a scretch book. It looked really beautiful. I went on to take pictures

In the evening I met up with Daria and we went to Piciadilly Circus to watch the street artists and relax a bit.

Goodnight everyone! Laila xx

Day 19: Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square,....

Thursday, 22/August/2013

This morining it was raining cats and dogs! haha! Just kidding, it's just an english expression and it was raining ordinary water drops. ;) But still the weather caused a general oversleeping in class.^^ In the end we were almost complete and could do little funny sketches in class in which we had to use english expressions with animals (for example "as blind as a bat", "crows' feet" or "a old wise owl"). It was really funny!

I already finished school at 12:05 which meant that I could join the excursion to the Tower of Londom at 12:15! Tristan and about 14 other students also went there. The ticket costed around 18 Pound (bring you students ID card!). At the entrance I met a girl called Anya from Russia (also studying at EF). Together we explored theTower of London. Beautiful rooms, crowns and views! Sadly we couldn't see the Crown Jewels because there was such a long queue in front of entrace for the Crown Jewels and we already spent a lot of time looking at the other rooms and expositions.

 

  

Afterwards I took a bus to Trafalgar Square. Taking the bus was on the spur of the moment because I originally planned on traveling on the tube when I randomly saw a bus going to Trafalgar Square stoping right next to me! And generally I prefer the bus because you get to see sp much while the drive!

I left the bus at St. Paul's Cathedral stop and toured the just named Cathedral. It is an amzing church! I mostly love the little parks around the church and the square in front where you have a great view on the Cathedral.

 

I got back to the bus stop  to continue my trip to Trafalgar Square. I've actually already been there when we went to the National Gallery with class but I had no chance to take some pictures then. I'm going to upload them AND the pictures + stories from Buckingham Palace tomorrow. It was a long day. Too long for one blog post. ;) I hope you're looking forward tomorrow!

Goodnight everyone! Laila xxx
