Today was the last whole day in London. We woke up at 7 o’clock and we were very tired, because we went to bed so late last night. After the breakfast, we took the underground to Ferry Lane school for the last time on this trip. It’s a little bit sad to think about it. Today we did many different things in Ferry Lane. We had started with maths, and we were outside and drawing the playground from a bird’s perspective. After that we talked about what we had been drawing. We also sang Olympic songs together with the whole school, there was a lady who sang together with us. She was a very good singer. We were also with all the kids at school and playing outside in the school yard.
Today we got noodles and pasta and meatballs for lunch. It tasted very good, but the dessert was different than we thought. It was some kind of vanillasauce, but it was warm. After the lunch we played in playground before we went to the city. Today ten new pupils from Ferry Lane went with us to the British museum.
When we came to the British museum, I just thought “WOW” because it was so big. We didn’t have enough time to see the whole museum. But we saw a lot of amazing things. The first we saw when we came in was the Rosetta Stone, that you can see at the picture. This stone helped the scientists to translate the Egyptian hieroglyphs, because it has writing in several languages. We saw also many statues from the Roman empire, and they were naked. We saw the goddess Aphrodite, but we could not find her amulet. But then, Petter said that he thought he had found it on the head of another statue, but we thought it looked more like an omelette. (However, this is just a joke). The last thing we looked at, was the pictures from the Panthenon. The British had actually stolen these from the Greeks. They won’t even give it back today.
After the visit at the museum, we ate ice cream and played “sisten” outside. That was very fun. Cornelia, I (Izabela), have finally fed some pigeons for you.
Before dinner, we were supposed to play bowling, but we didn’t get to, because the first place was closed down, and the second place did not have any available courts for us. But we ate pommes frites at the bowling while we waited for time to go. And we found out a funny thing; when you cross the street when there is a green man, you have 13 seconds to cross, before it turns red again.
Today we ate dinner at a Chinese restaurant in China Town. China Town is a very special place in London, because there are only three China Towns in the world, if you don’t count China. In the restaurant, we ate a very special meal. There were several courses. The first course was seaweed, chicken, spareribs and pasta with chicken inside and sweet and sour chili sauce on the side. The second course you can see at the picture. It was a sort of pancake with plum sauce, duck, cucumber and spring onion. It was very good! The third course included beef in ginger sauce, chicken in chili sauce, vegetables, scampi and fried rice with duck and mushrooms. It was a very good meal. Last, but not least, we got a “Chupa chups”.
After a long day, we finally went back to the hostel again. We had to take the underground again. We are going to be champions at that now. You can see a picture of us at the tube in this blog post.
Now we have to go to bed before we fall asleep on the table.
